Terminator 2!! haha lol.

[Electric Graffiti]

Braveheart after the battle of Falkirk:

Campbell: I'm dying. Let me be.

Hamish: No. You're going to live.

Campbell: I've lived long enough to live free. Proud to see you become the man you are. I'm a happy man.

That scene got me a little verklempt. Along with young Wallace shedding a tear for his father and brother in the beginning of the movie.

Gladiator always brings a tear. I felt a touch of tear watching Rails and Ties with Kevin Bacon.

[sauropod]

I agree with Braveheart, but that’s the only one.

[Little Ray]

The Green Berets.
That’ll make a grown man cry...

[RJS1950]

Not a one of them came even close to making me tear up except for maybe the final cemetary scene in Saving Private Ryan. Several on the list left me a little nauseous. Now if you want to get me to choke up roll the commercial for the National Humane Society; I can’t stand to watch it anymore although it enrages me a bit more than bringing me to tears.

[Lakeshark]

Not so sure about this list, pretty strange to cry at any of those movies IMHO.

I do remember wanting to stand up and yell "Shoot the b@stard!" as Clint is asking Scorpio if he knows how many times he had shot his gun at the end of Dirty Harry........

Does that count?

[acad1228]

Yeah, yeah. We all cried at "Old Yeller" and "Where the Red Fern Grows". But I dare any man not to drop a tear or two when Rickey Schroeder begs Jon Voigt to get back up at the end of "The Champ".

[GonzoGOP]

E.T. The Extra Terrestrial?

Dude they edited all the guns out of the movie. I do not count that as an "Acceptable" man's movie. Now Serenity, when Book buys the farm is definitely a get ya moment.

The Straight Story

Directed by David Lynch

The Straight Story is a 1999 film directed by David Lynch. It is based on the true story of Alvin Straight’s journey across Iowa and Wisconsin on a lawnmower. The film was edited and produced by Mary Sweeney, Lynch’s longtime partner and co-worker. She co-wrote the script with John E. Roach.

Plot
Alvin Straight (Richard Farnsworth) is an elderly World War II veteran who lives with his daughter Rose (Sissy Spacek), a kind woman with a mental disability. When he hears that his estranged brother Lyle (Harry Dean Stanton) has suffered a stroke, he makes up his mind to go visit him and hopefully make amends before he dies. But because Alvin’s legs and eyes are too impaired for him to receive a driving license, he hitches a trailer to his recently purchased thirty year-old John Deere Lawn tractor and sets off on the 240-mile journey from Laurens, Iowa to Mount Zion, Wisconsin.

The film follows the story of Alvin’s six-week journey across rural America, the people he meets, his impact on their lives, and theirs on his. It has been called a modern odyssey of a man dealing with his own mortality and mistakes and the lasting bonds of family.

They’re damm movies populated by actors. Cry? You’ve got to be kidding. Men only cry when their sports team loses and they just dropped a bundle because of it..

[Kimmers]

My USMC son and his USMC buddies all admit they cried during “Taking Chance”
