Movies: The first time I saw Forrest Gump, I cried like a baby. I had gone to it with my kids, son was 10 and took a buddy with him. Just the fact that the kids actually sat with me in the theater was enough to strike my emotions, but I kept thinking that the character of Forrest Gump was a hero, never realized it, just going through his life as it came at him. For some strange reason, I also cried at Toy Story, because Buzz Lightyear SO wanted to be a superhero, and in the end, he was just a toy.... Sort of reminded me of men in general, not in a bad way, just probably related to balancing pride and humility...

Oh yeah, i also ‘almost” choked up at Toy Story 3 when the kid is already grown up and going to college, and played with the toys one last time with another kid as he held back giving Woody and the toys away. It was closure for the series. I read somewhere that scene made a LOT of grown men cry.
