Only #7 made me tear up.

Oh I don't know. The Patriot caused a tear or two. Pride of those who fought & birthed our country I guess. Same with the opening scene of Saving Private Ryan. The old man at the Omaha Beach Cemetery.

I'll shed a tear for those that shed their blood. It's the least I can do.

Okay...admission time. I cried...twice...at “Titanic”. First time was as it was going into all the scenes of the people beginning to drown. Especially with the mother telling her kids it’ll be “like going to sleep”. Ripped my heart out. The second time was at the very end when the heroine has died and her spirit joins all the others in the Grand Straicase on the Titanic with Mr. DiCaprio standing there, waiting for her.

Guess I’m a softie at heart.

I once asked my late father about men crying. He paused for quite a while before answering. He then told me about the men he interviewed coming home from the last of the WWII island battles in the Pacific. He was an official US Army War Correspondent and was on the Stars and Stripes staff in Honolulu.

They ALL cried when telling their stories, and of their fallen comrades, and how they were not heroes at all. Just doing their jobs and that the real heroes were left back on the islands or five miles deep in the ocean, never waking up from their long sleep.

These were Navy Cross, Medal of Honor winners, etc. You know. Real men. Real, brave men who cried when reliving those horrible scenes in their minds.

Bottom line? Indeed, real men cry.

The Way We Were. I cried when Barbra Streisand didn’t die at the end.

There's at least 3 films on that list I've never even heard of.

I don't cry in front of other people because "it's just not being done". By me, or anyone I know of.
If you're looking for movies that do inspire great emotion I can't believe your list doesn't include Gone with the Wind, The Wizard of Oz, Midway, or National Lampoon's Christmas. I know I showed tears of laughter just last week seeing the stupid planks in the attic trick.

Sorry, gotta agree with the rest: only one, at the end, “Good Will Hunting” - “It’s not your fault”, draws a tear.

You wanna talk tear city? How about end of “It’s a Wonderful Life”, when George realizes how ‘rich’ he really is because he’s very simply a good, caring guy.

I cried at the end of Old Yeller on the TV when I was about 9 years old.

I’ve seen a few of those, and didn’t cry at any of them. Sorry.

1. Braveheart- Made me cry hard.

2. Blow- watched ending one time, cannot watch it again, very sad.

3. Shawshank- Yes, I cried at the end.

4. Powder- very touching movie. I do not see how any person with a heart couldn’t shed a tear.

I’ve only shed a tear over two movies. And now I don’t watch movies, because I don’t enjoy being manipulated by faceless leftists with an agenda.

But, in the interest of full disclosure they are...

The entire opening sequence of “The Outlaw Josey Wales,” up to and including the massacre of his fellow irregulars by the feds. Yankee scum!

And “Where the Red Fern Grows,” the 1974 version. The book makes me cry too. I don’t care. I can fight with tears in my eyes. Just the words Ole Dan and Little Anne is enough to set me off. I’m literally tearing up now.

What?? I'm a woman and I didn't cry watching any of those movies.

Wait...Star Trek II made me cry. It probably still would.

So one out of ten got me.

KAAAAHHHHHNNNNN!!!!
