Well it was a long time ago, teenage hormones etc etc, but there's some crappy old Cher movie about some kid with a deformed head that got me.
Oh, and some old De Niro movie where he plays an ex slaver who kills his brother in a duel, repents and becomes a catholic priest and goes to South America. Then he winds up helping tehm try to fight bcak against the encroaching Europeans.
Totally spaced the names of both of them, got a real urge to see that De Niro mfilm again now though, might be rose tinted glasses but it was really good if I recall correctly.
The poor man really has a stake in the country. The rich man hasn't; he can go away to New Guinea in a yacht. The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all
We love our superheroes because they refuse to give up on us. We can analyze them out of existence, kill them, ban them, mock them, and still they return, patiently reminding us of who we are and what we wish we could be.

The Mission
Also had Jeremy Irons in it.
The part in Forest Gump where he talking over Jenny's grave and telling her about their son and how he miss's her is a very emotional scene, though I never cried but I feel your pain.
I think I actually teared up at the scene in Royal Tennebaums near the end when Ben Stiller's character finally breaks down and opens up and tells his father that "he's had a really bad year". I suppose it is the father/son angle.
My mom said I cried when Darth Vader died in Return of the Jedi. Even at that tender age I knew who the real good guys were.
Amidst the mists and coldest frosts he thrusts his fists against the posts and still insists he sees the ghosts.
Those are the ones. Might track that De Niro one down, soudns like it has a good cast.
Oh.. we'll get it out of the way now :
Hot Rod rushes forwards, and Megatron.. and then.....then.....

I started balling several times in the movie UP. The montage in the first 15 minutes just killed me and at the end when he finds his wifes picturebook just sent my hands into my face for a second time.
I only get teary to music like this, most movies do not really move me unless they are documentaries, tears are precious things better left to advertising to take advantage of... what???
FEEL EMOTIONAL DAMMIT!!!
I demand by the powers bestowed unto I and me and... me, that all power is mine by right, and your emotions are mine to toy with... saideth the "God of perpetual ridiculousness and other things along those lines" unto you who sayeth the thing that be what I... oh whatever then.
I teared up at the intro to DOW for some reason? It's just the sheer determination of the marines. Also, I teared up at LOTR when Frodo realises he can never truly return to the shire again and is forever tainted... Just that feeling of endless subtle pain gets me.
Remember the Titans. A few spots get me misty, but the ending does me in.
In the dark future, there are skulls for everyone. But only the bad guys get spikes. And rivets for all, apparently welding was lost in the Dark Age of Technology. -from C.Borer
Marley and Me. If you can't cry at some point during that movie you have no soul.
The first time I saw Dumb & Dumber I cried. It was at the part where they just found out that Petey's head "fell off" and Lloyd does his little Aspen monologue.
Edit: Fireproof as well. That one snuck up on me.

My dad and I love that movie. I never cried, but I can't remember smiling so much. Great story and characters.

Have not seen the Shawshank redemption, but Forrest Gump makes me cry when Bubba dies.
For those not aware of this fantastic little Gem, it's set in a world where Humanity, to all intents and purposes, is extinct. We've stopped having Babies, and nobody knows why. Women all over the word miscarried, and now just don't get pregnant.
The plot centres around something of a miracle. A pregnant girl. Only trouble is, she's an illegal immigrant in Britain (which has devolved into a totalitarian state) and they need to get her out.
She eventually gives birth in the middle of a literal Warzone, hiding in a building being shelled by Tanks. The reaction of the various denziens (soldiers, terrorists, freedom fighters, innocents) to the bawling of a baby, something no human has heard for over 20 years is beautifully shot. The fighting stops, soliders and their enemies ceasing fire and making way. The hero and her make it out, and about 30 yards down the street, and the fight kicks off again.
Totally totally totally see this film. You will not regret it.

Fed up of Scalpers? But still want your Exclusives? Why not join us?
I'm going to throw in the towel and admit to this.
The ending of Star Wars Episode III made me all teary. In the scene where Darth Vader awakens as a cyborg and realises that he killed his wife, the thought of how horrible it would be sent me over the edge.
Automatically Appended Next Post: Oh, and I can't forget two parts of Lord of the Rings.
1. When Frodo and Sam are trapped on Mount Doom and think that they'll never get home, I was sniffling.
2. When Frodo had to leave the Shire and go to the Grey Havens, I broke down. Truly a touching moment.

People are like dice, a certain Frenchman said that. You throw yourself in the direction of your own choosing. People are free because they can do that. Everyone's circumstances are different, but no matter how small the choice, at the very least, you can throw yourself. It's not chance or fate. It's the choice you made.

Anyway, I don't think I've gone past tearing up a bit in a movie. But when I saw Up with my girlfriend, I felt like half the time I was actively avoiding tears.
The tragedy isn't that Winter Snow killed Broken Sword by accident, it is that he lets her kill him to show her how dedicated he was. He loved her so much that if he could not share the dream with her, he would rather die.

At the end of Iron Giant, the nuke is launched and is going to land on the town. The sirens are going off, and the townsfolk and soldiers realize they won't be able to make it, so the panic gives way to subdued resignation. The boy explains things to the giant, and the giant looks at the contrail of the missile arcing out of the atmosphere. The giant looks at the boy and says "I go, you stay", gently nudging the boy back.
He launches up and fires his rockets, streaking up through through the sky. As he leaves the atmosphere and the missile reaches it's apogee, he remembers the boy in voiceover, "You can choose who you want to be". As the giant aims himself at the missile he says "I'm superman..." and squeezes his eyes shut just before impact.
I weep like a child everytime.
If more of us valued food and cheer and 40K over hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.
Ah, the Iron Giant. I haven't seen that movie for years. I can't believe that it wasn't a box office success when it was so well-recieved by critics and viewers.
