At the end when Hamchunk is running from helicopter to helicopter calling for Sgt Peterson
I cry when there is a plausible, realistic scene where an every man, knowing full well the fate that awaits him, musters the courage to face it with dignity and honor. I believe this is actually ingrained in all Christian men, because it tugs at our heart from John 15:13 - Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.
Galipoli
Braveheart
Although Hopkins is not laying his life down for another *directly*, his final scene in Meet Joe Black is also a picture of courage and redemption that brought tears to my eyes.
Also, movies where the focus character is exemplary, and death is so absolutely unjust that you spend the movie hoping that somehow it will be avoided, but it is not.
The Green Mile
The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas
Seven Pounds
Immortal Beloved - final scene.
Ludwig’s true love reads a letter that was delivered, yet, never read. It is delivered to her after his death. She is seen reading it, through a window as his Piano Concerto # 5 is played.
gotta go. my screen is blurry..............
If crying due to laughter counts, that video clip would make most men admit to reaching for a kleenex box.
One of my favorite films.
And it's about GOLF! Great movie. I was really surprised by how much I really liked this movie.
LOL, hard to make golf exciting. Deep down it’s about class struggle and ridiculous notions of old Europe about “station” etc.
I start tearing up when his dad shows up at the end giving him his respect. Same with the “rich girl” (thank goodness they didn’t give us a love story). Her best line is when her dad sees her and says “aren’t you supossed to be at school” and she replies, “don’t be ridiculous father”.
It was directed by Bill Paxton.
Brian’s song.
It's not a tear-jerker for me (though Field of Dreams is, at several points), but it's a solid film that I enjoy. It's an example of Hollywood actually improving on a book, too. That doesn't happen very often.
Blazing Saddles...no doubt about it!
When Forrest Gumps girlfriend brings him his son.
Check out “Awakenings” some time.
Speaking of Jurassic Park, I and half the theater were cheering for the Velociraptors to get that annoying, screechy blonde. Almost did, too. Danged ceiling tiles.
The ending of Goodbye, Lenin!

“The Old Man and the Sea”......
When she cuddles him and cradles him on her trunk, I get leaky eyes every time. Baby Mine sniff sniff looking for a tissue.
me too. No question. There is also “Amazing Journey” (?) about the two dogs and a cat that find their way across a lot of territory and multiple dangers to find their way home. The old golden retriever Chance whose voice is done by an actor whose name escapes me now coaxes a lot of tears from me as he shows up last after his boy gives up hope and tells him he was always his favorite. Whew!
