I did not cry at one of them and as best I can tell, I’m a man. Most of them annoyed me more than anything else.

None of these, but if you were a ball player, Field of Dreams will get you every time.

One movie that teared me up was “The Elephant Man”.

Lonesome, how about this poem written by Jimmy Stewart, A Dog Named Beau.

Me either. One that always makes me cry is "While you were sleeping" with Sandra Bullock. There is a scene in "Gettysburg" where the Union has held Little Round Top and Jeff Daniels sits down and surveys what he and his men did. That made me cry.

"Schindler's List," where, at the end, Schindler sees the value of life vs. "stuff," saying, "this car would have gotten ten more Jews . . ." That made me cry.

I shed a tear at Saving Private Ryan. There were vets in the audience. Nobody moved until the entire movie was done, credits and all.

Same thing with We Were Soldiers and Flags of Our Fathers.
