My Girl - it’s been a long time since I’ve seen it, but when the little girl breaks down at the funeral at the end I was crying right along with her.
Good one! 
See also Babe: Pig In The City, My Dog Skip and Marley and Me. And I’m a cat person!
“Tell me I have led a good life.”
Not just you. I don’t want to know anyone who didn’t tear up at the montage of Carl and Elly’s life.
Scenes of men sacrificing their lives for others always hits me at a primal level. In this case, the couple were dressed as First Class passengers, and knew that they had a good run and that their sacrifice was would save the lives of mothers and children.
Agreed.
See above. Titanic was filled with scenes of brave and honorable men giving up their own lives to either ensure that others live, or because they felt it was their duty, that they could not continue living. Captain Smith and Thomas Andrews are two examples, and Benjamin Guggenheim was one of the richest men on the planet, and he chose not to attempt to get onto a lifeboat: “We are dressed in our best and are prepared to go down as gentlemen.”
If sacrifice like that doesn’t tear you up…
I think this is the best film Tim Burton has ever done.
Like a lot of men, I had a complicated relationship with my dad - loving, but also competitive, and never sure that either of us really understood the other.
Exactly. Real men don’t give a shit what others think. Boys do, men don’t.
Another sports movie to rip your emotional guts out We Are Marshall.
Almost forgot: The Elephant Man. The film can be used to weed out Replicants.
If you don’t cry at the end of Jurassic Bark, you have no soul.
I love that scene.
And I didn’t cry, but I did get emotional while watching the Mel Brooks remake of To Be or Not to Be, particularly the scene in which they were taking all of the refugees (made up in clown costumes and clown makeup) out of hiding in the theater, right past the audience filled with Nazi officers. One woman froze in terror at the sight of the Nazis (which seemed to alert their suspicions), so one of the professional clowns went up to her, identified her as Jewish (“Juden! Juden!”) and slapped a Star of David on her chest. Making a joke of it, in other words.
This is the one I was coming in to mention. If you don’t cry watching this movie, you were born without a soul.
Another excellent selection.
For me, also:
Jerry MacGuire – I’m a mess for about the last 15 minutes of the movie.
Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan – How can Spock’s death not move you to tears?
I have gotten misty-eyed at many, many, many TV shows and movies (including Spider-Man 2, to my wife’s astonishment), but Jurassic Bark wasn’t one of them. I just thought it was a not-particularly-funny episode of Futurama.
Pretty much anything involving dogs and death, including Sounder, Ol’ Yeller, Marley and Me, etc. I even teared up when Vincent, the golden retriever in Lost lay down next to Jack as Jack was dying…
I came in to mention Marley & Me.
Have any of you seen Eight Below? When the musher had to leave behind his sled dog team in the blizzard, each doggie chained to a stake? I was peeling onions, baby.
Do you also not laugh at comedies because they’re, you know, movies?
mmm
I also cried at the end of The Fly
The scene in The Patriot (crappy Mel Gibson movie, aka Braveheart 1776?) when he is leaving the camp that his family is staying at, and his daughter, who has not spoken to him since a tragic thing happened, comes running up to him and starts babbeling about how she’ll talk, she 'll talk to him, just come back, she’ll talk all he wants…
First movie I had cried at in a very long time. My daughter was about the same age at the time, which is probably what did it. Since then, I have movies I will tear up in, and I have no shame.
The last movie I actually wept watching was Titanic. But I was 7 when I saw it so…
The only movie in recent memory that I recall getting sort of misty-eyed over was The Karate Kid (the new one) during the scene with the two leads in the car.
That’s just what boys who cry during Up say to make themselves feel better. We’ll bill you for the cancellation of your Manscription.
Edit: Actually, I thought of a film more recent than Titanic that I teared up in: Armageddon - I was 8 for that one. Cried when Bruce was having his last words with Arwen.
I didn’t, but I’ve never had a dog (or any pet larger than a fish). Luck of the Fryrish got me misty-eyed, though.
I got misty-eyed during both Jurassic Bark and Luck of the Fryish. Really phenomenal stuff.
Still no tears though.
“Good Bye Mr Chips” the original 1930’s version.
As Chips lays in his death bed.
Woman: and he never had any children
Chips: oh no your wrong, …I had hundred’s,… and they were all boys.
Gets me every time.
I am a grown man, & I can cry at whatever I want.
I may have cried at Galaxy Quest.
Well, real men don’t need anybodys permission, they cry at any damn movie they feel like.
Having said that, I only cry at the end of The Dirty Dozen.
i always thought guggenheim was just in denial but i could be wrong about that.
i’ve known plenty of guys who teared up during titanic. usually never for the leo/kate stuff but for the old couple holding hands while the water rushes under them, the irish mother reading to her children, and the mother floating in the water with her newborn baby. nothing wrong with finding that upsetting.
The end of On Her Majesty’s Secret Service
There are certain lines you don’t say to anybody when you’re in that line of work.
This was my first thought. This past summer there were articles giving men the OK to cry at this movie.
Me too.
I didn’t. And I sometimes cry at movies I think are really bad (my Man Card was revoked long ago). But not this one. Not that I disagree that this isn’t a good candidate for this thread, but it didn’t hit that spot for some reason.
