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.

Actually none of those, and I might cry more readily than other guys. Who made up this list?

You left off Brokeback Mountain and Bridges of Madison County.

Ha ha ha. 4 of these I’ve never seen (and probably never will), and the others did NOT make me cry, nor even make me feel close to crying - Tears over Good Will Hunting? Give me a break! Now Passion of The Christ made me cry, as it should anyone.

I would have loved this post a lot more if the author of the blog was not a America hating communist.

Here is one of his/her "brilliant" commentaries in the review for Saving Private Ryan:

But what I love most about this movie is that, beyond the American flag waving at the beginning and the end, there is no posturing and advertising for the AMERICAN MILITARY

Don’t tell anyone, but my husband shed a tear or two at the end of the new(est) King Kong when he died.

Brian’s Song, The Worlds Fastest Indian, and the Passion of Christ got me teary eyed. None of those listed did though, and I hated Good Will Hunting...ugh.

This list sucks in terms of crying. “Old Yeller” and “Where the Red Fern Grows” make me tear up. So does the end of “Return of the King” if the mood hits me just right. Terminator 2? Wrath of Khan? Seriously?

I’ll give them “Saving Private Ryan” for the part where Wade buys it. Very hard to watch that scene for me. But other than that...

E.T.?
Shawshank Redemption?
Good Will Hunting?

I dont think men cried when watching those.

When I watch Blazing Saddles I laugh myself to tears.... does that count?

Saw 7 of these, missed 1,2, and 4.
Only two of these films have a remote claim to greatness/
Private Ryan and Braveheart, the latter of which was the better film.
NONE of the 7 brought me to tears, not even close.
The ONLY film to have done that in the last twenty years,(not including the ending coda of Schindler’s List, when it breaks into the present tense, and color)
is the great WINGS OF DESIRE, directed by the remarkably uneven Wim Wenders. WINGS does it every time. It is one of the greatest films made by anyone anywhere in the last 50 years.

Animal House and Caddyshack, but not Caddyshack II. Not a dry eye in the house.
