Movies its ok for guys to cry at

Hmm. Miracle, Rudy, Field of Dreams. I don’t really cry about sad movies. I actually haven’t seen Schindler’s List so I’ll have to try that one out eventually.

In the Apollo 1 episode of From the Earth to the Moon, I completely lose it when:

[spoiler]One of the engineers working on the capsule after the fire starts talking to Frank Borman and said something like this:

“You know, I’m the one that found Gus Grissom innocent of blowing the hatch on Liberty Bell. I’m the one that proved that explosive bolts can fire spontaneously. Ironic isn’t it? Had I not proven Gus innocent, Apollo might have had explosive bolts, in which case Gus would be alive and well with us right now.”

“I’m not a fan of irony…”[/spoiler]

The look on the guy’s face and the thought of how he was being torn up inside just kills me. I’m getting all misty thinking about that scene right now.

Boy, did you get totally whooshed.

The mini-print Dumbo at the bottom was the name of movie that gets to him! :smiley:

Re other posts-

Add TITANIC to the mix, when Jack welcomes her to Titanic Heaven.

LOTR III:ROTK should have had yet another faux ending- The Scouring of the Shire.

Jen-nay in FORREST GUMP- how’s that for a chick suffering & dying & making us guys get all teary?

And how could I have forgotten OF MICE AND MEN (especially the original starring Larry Talbot & The Penguin :smiley: )?

I don’t think so… probably American or Delta, since it was booked through my work.

Good god yes. That surprised me. I wasn’t expecting to cry.

I bawled like a little girl when I saw Life is Beautiful . Oh my word did I cry. I couldn’t drive home I was crying so hard.

I cried when the Minis went of the the cliff, and I’m a girl … dirty shame, that was. :wink:

Well, there was a Canadian television movie called Sunshine about a young mother with terminal cancer who records her thoughts and feelings on cassettes so her infant daughter will have something to remember her by. That one pumps my tear ducts dry every time on the rare occasions I get to see it. Hell, I get choked up just thinking about it.

I guess I’m the only person who ever cried at Jof’s vision at the end of The Seventh Seal. At least, everybody always looks at me weird whenever I talk about it. Stop looking at me that way! Stop, dammit!

I I just realized I said I got chicked up at Angus. Obviously, I meant choked up, though given the thread content, chicked up might also work. :wink:

I always cry during Terms of Endearment. But then I’m a bit of a sissy when it comes to movies; I cry pretty easily.

In Babe when the absolutely impassive farmer tends to Babe and breaks out in an impromptu dance.

And another film by Zeffirelli, Brother Sun, Sister Moon, when the Pope humbles himself before Saint Francis–if that one leaves your eyes dry, you’re too cold-blooded to be running around loose!

So what was Brian’s song? Raindrops are falling on my head?

How about - “None”

I can’t say I completely lose it, but yeah, that’s one powerful scene…

Buncha wussies!

[sub]I did NOT tear up when Aragorn said “My friends, you bow to no one!” I just got something in my eye, that’s all…[/sub]

Must have been dusty where I was too, then…

I’m not sure I cry during scenes of death or parting, but I genuinely get emotional during scenes of true accomplisment or achievement.

and as such, I pretty much break down at these moments of accomplishment in movies:

“That’ll do, Pig”.

“Mr Miyagi!! We did it!!!”

“AAADDDDRIIIEENNNNNNNNEE!!!”

My Girl during the speech the girl gives after the boy dies.

LOTR with Boromir’s last stand and death.

Serenity when Wash…well, you know. I sense a trend here.

The Professional, “For Matilda…”

IIRC (I haven’t seen it in 35 years) – taken literally, it was his college fight song (Bowling Green, perhaps). There was a scene where all the rookies were made to sing their college song.

The Marseillaise scene in Casablanca.
Field of Dreams
Last minute of It’s a Wonderful Life
ROTK (my friends, you bow to no one)

The last scene in Saving Private Ryan. I’m pretty hardboiled when it comes to movies, but that one got me. I don’t know how anyone could sit through that and not well up a little.
