“Christine” when that beautiful Plymouth got crushed.
Katyn.
What kind of male cries at a romance movie? A scarf-wearing metrosexual?
My husband wouldn’t watch a romance movie in the first place. If I want to make him cry, I’ll find a documentary about a man forced to follow his wife and carry her handbag while she shops.
Men cry much too easily these days.
In all fairness, I will admit Titanic is very high on my list!
I mean, every time my wife makes me sit and watch it with her, I start crying and whining and bitching and moaning!
Sometimes it works, and we change the movie.

I bawled on Empire of the Sun when the kid finds his mom and feels her hair. I cry about a lot of movies.
Mostly, I tear up when I realize I just dropped $30 on tickets for the drivel I just “watched” on the screen, and I’ll never get those wasted two hours back...
My boyfriend’s a pretty tough guy. I don’t remember him ever crying at a movie. But for some reason he gets all teary at a certain part of “A Christmas Carol” that the Missouri Rep does every year. Go figure.
There’s a scene in “The Alamo” (2004) in which Jim Bowie is dying from tuberculosis and is all but incoherent with fever when his sister tending to him suddenly becomes his dead wife, and kisses him one last time. With the swelling of Carter Burwell’s score, it becomes a terrifically iconic moment. At least IMHO.
I don’t think I actually cried, but “Silent Running” choked me up a bit. I really kinda liked those little robots by the end.
For me the Shootist. Great final tribute to the Duke.
Return of the King when Theodin says, “ I go to my fathers, in whose mighty company I shall not now feel ashamed.”
The Notebook? I had no idea any men saw that one. And I’m not making a machismo joke: I’ll admit to liking Steel Magnolias. I think the last time I cried at a movie was Farenheit 911... for our country when I saw how stupid so many Americans are. (Not really.) I don’t think I cried during “Up,” but it was definitely cry-worthy... easily the most cry-worthy of the bunch among the ones on the list I’ve seen. I probably cried during Bambi, since I was a little kid and it was very sad.
I don’t recall actually crying at movies, but some certainly got me very emotional. And since I have a son, I get more emotional whenever something touches on that for me. So even though I didn’t cry at My Girl, I probably would now if I saw it for the first time.
After all......you see that long line of cars, realize you're going to spend hours on that single lane dirt road with a car full of screaming kids and an annoyed wife just to hand Costner $20. That'll make any man cry.
Mission to Mars and Interstellar.
Watching Tim Robbins and Matt Dameon explode is so beautiful it brings tears to my eyes.
Blackhawk Down
Sole Survivor
Any movie where child dies after valiant struggle
Now that I’m old and been married a long time Notebook likely would be misty
But later, I became familiar with Bambi: A Biography from the Forest (Berlin: Ullstein, 1923), Felix Salten's classic story that was translated from the original German by Whittaker Chambers--yes, that Whittaker Chambers, the one who would later expose the Soviet agent Alger Hiss.
The next time I saw Bambi, in DVD format, about three years ago, I hated it for making hash of Felix Salten's story.
The scene in “From Here to Eternity” where Montgomery Clift’s character plays taps for his dead buddy (Frank Sinatra). Gets me every time.
