World Trade Center got me, especially the scene where the two Marines find them.

That movie should of moved me but we watched it at school and as a result it was staggered over 4 or 5 weeks so didn't have the same punch but still a great movie

On reflection when I was younger I have some recollection of being upset at the Battle of Britain when the family dies in the church and in The Longest Day when the infantry finally take the town to find all the Para's that got caught and suffocated

Grave of the Fireflies is every bit as sad and every bit as good as you've heard.

Pixar's Up is another reliable weeper.

Genghis Connie and The Wife will literally not let me see that film because they know I'll lose it. I don't know why and will keep it that way.

Shawshank, when the little old man with the raven leaves the prison and can't cope with the outside world.

Babylon 5, when Kosh has to pay the price for the vorlon intervention and Sheridan dreams of his dad.

Picard playing the flute at the end of The Inner Light.

King Kong. All of them.

Pretty much any animal dying in a film. I can watch hundreds of people dying in a war film but if a horse is shot I get a bit snuffly.

Also the animal rescue ads on tv, have to turn them over or be depressed for hours.

Yep.

What other movies provoke your inner emotions?

None. Man the feth up.

You consider being emotional as a weakness?

Call me old fashioned but no I don't think it's okay for men to cry in public, bar enormous personal tragedy (loss of a loved one or such). Certainly not at a film.

real men have lots of guns and rum and aren't afraid to cry at a movie, as long as its not a chick flick.

Why not?

Why shouldn't men cry? It don't hurt anyone. It's not like crying kills kittens or spawns Daemons.

It's just how I was raised, what my background is. Certain things are expected of men, stoicism is one of them.

Dude I was raised by a marine who was put in an orphanage to avoid starving to death. He thought his (literally) crazy brother (thank you Korea) was a wuss. But he still would cry at a movie.

Get over it. Your mileage may vary, but of course it would be wrong.
