When I was younger ending of Old Yeller and when Spock died in Star Trek


Teared up Boys In The Hood(c'mon he had a bright future in football taken away lol),Flight 93, and Dreamgirls(<---I know wtf?????) Oh I forgot Gladiator when he saw his wife hung
and Minority Report when he thought he found the guy who killed his son(I am a parent)


Alright I'm not gonna lie if the story is done right and has an inspiring or emotional; part I tear up, whatever 🙂
 
A Walk to Remember, Forrest Gump, and Remember the Titans come to mind. There are probably a couple others, but those are probably my top three.
 
I still can't watch Mel Gibson's "We Were Soldiers" and stay dry...the ending scenes of Saving Private Ryan usually gets me choked up as well...

I'm SUCH a fucking crybaby...:roll:

Yep. The part right after that, when Michael McKean finds him, and all he can do is write on the wall 'DYING'. My god...

Also, Fox & the Hound. Don't even get me started.
 
Ferris Bueller's Day Off - when that Ferrari flew down the ravine. Actually any movie that involves destruction of high end cars make me tear up.

Several of mine have already been mentioned. I'll add:

Backdraft - at the end when he says "look at him, thats my brother" and then dies in the ambulance shortly after

World Trade Center - nearly the whole thing

Can't think of others at the moment.

America.......... fuck yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.
 
The closest I came to crying is when I saw Schindler's List for the first time. It was at the end of the movie when the real survivors that the movie was based on were shown placing stones on Oscar Schindler's grave as they pass by. That drove it home.
 
The movie AI.

The teddy bear like turns itself off with the kid when he lays down with his mom at the end of the day? Are you fucking kidding me?
 
oh my... quite a few

Forrest Gump
Glory
Braveheart
Saving Private Ryan
Gladiator
Last episode of Band of Brothers.
Cinema Paradiso

 
I watched this porn movie once where this hot chick was begging to get boinked by these two dudes with huge dongs. The dudes were saying, "no, no, I'm not going to give it to you because you haven't been bad enough" Well, right then and there she became bad, real nasty like... and sure enough, the dudes both gave her the boinking of a lifetime. I was so happy for her I shed a tear. It was quite a moment.

The only movie I can think of from the past few years that got me choked up was the end of Brokeback Mountain. It really had nothing to do with the gay stuff, just how sad and lonely Heath Ledger's character was, and then his daughter stopping by.

If Cast Away had ended with him drifting on the ocean I think it would have.

agreed
 
I'll admit I got choked up by The Green Mile. Don't really understand those who say Braveheart though - you mean the bit at the end where he get hung drawn and quartered ans shouts 'FREEEEEEEEEEDOM'? That is a pretty dumb scene...
