Seconded. Such a powerful movie. I’m not sure if I could watch it a second time.
I once knew a guy who cried at Awakenings – the scene where DiNiro is dancing with the young woman, who eventually must walk away… and he’s watching her, crying and shaking, at the hospital window.
That gets me, too. 
Casablanca definitely has a few scenes.
I don’t think anyone will blame anyone for crying in Grave of the Fireflies.
Hey, me too. Well, the first time I watched it.
Bambi… the scene where his mother gets shot… and Bambi calls, “Mother… Mother.”
Bolding mine.
That’s right! Let’s just get rid of those…what do you call them again?..emotions!
I think I cried at ET. That’s mostly because I wanted an extra terrestrial and I knew I couldn’t have one.
I haven’t seen Brian’s Song, but I have seen Casablanca. I didn’t get the um…dust…in my eye whne that movie was on.
Yeah. Dust. That’s what it was!
It wouldn’t be so bad if you females wouldn’t notice and go “Awwwwwww!”.
I was going to say the same thing. My father died way too young and the scene at the end hits me hard. I did not see it coming the first time, I thought the movie was over. One time I saw it on regular TV and it pissed me off when they went to commerical just before he asked his dad to have a catch with him.
That one always gets me. Just say “that’ll do pig” and I’m done for awhile.
Yup, that’s the line. Well, the whole sequence at the beginning with Babe’s mother, also messed me up.

Thank Og I didn’t have to be the first to admit this.
Last time I saw Armageddon, I was at a buddy’s house. All the girls were sobbing at the end and my buddy and I looked at each other, laughed and waved stupidly to each other.
Agreed - it’s the right of everyone everywhere to cry during this movie.
My brother cried at several points in Kramer vs. Kramer. He was 18 or so when it came out and none of his female friends or relatives held it against him.
Recently my husband and I went to see Flags of Our Fathers and I noticed tears on my husband’s face at the end. He may have cried at earlier points, too (I certainly did), but it was the last scene where I noticed him crying – the scene with the men just playing and grabassing in the surf and Bradley’s voiceover saying, “…if we wish to truly honor these men we should remember them the way they really were – the way my dad remembered them.”
My son often cries a bit at movies, books, music videos… Certainly many of the themes represented in this thread would get to him. Father/ son stuff – check. War hero/ sacrifice stuff – check. Underdog stuff – check. No shame to him, or to anyone else in this thread, IMO. It is not ‘unmanly’ to weep at noble ideas. Quite the opposite.
I absolutely second Life is Beautiful.
Most of the others mentioned here I haven’t seen, though I’ll prolly see Brokeback Mountain at some point.
Hotel Rawanda
And he asks Jenny, “Is he smart? Or is he…” and he puts his hand to his chest.
I’m tearing up just thinking about it.
This is kind of outside the theme of the rest of the movies listed, but the only movie I remember making my eyes watery is Final Fantasy: Advent Children, based on the FF7 video game. At the end where Aeris’ spirit tells Cloud he’ll be okay and he says he will because he’s not alone, it chokes me up. There’s a reason i’ve never watched that movie with anyone else.
Sorority Slammer Girls In Heat.
The thought that such beautiful young women are so willing, and so eager, to do such wild and kinky things just makes me all verklemt every time I think about it.
The “have a catch” scene in Field of Dreams doesn’t do nearly the damage (for me, anyway) that Burt Lancaster’s final scene does. The young Burt is standing there at the edge of that field, having just barely realized what he thought was his life-long dream of playing ball with the pros, and he sees the little girl choking.
That damned shot of his feet, then his face as he comes to the realization that he about to step into his REAL life-long passion, and then steps across, aging 70 years in the process.
I’m crying right now, goddammit…
I’m watching that bastard again tonight, I just decided.
