A few years ago, I saw PT 109, a movie which, like Titanic, is about bad seamanship.

I shall admit to a tear of gratitude when the saucer blows up Washington DC in Independence Day.

I’m 63 and I still wouldn’t watch Old Yeller again. In 1971 I cried my eyes out at the end of Love Story, long story involving my late wife, but when I watched it again in 2010 I couldn’t believe how bad a movie it was. Interestingly the final scene of Memphis Belle when they are trying to get the landing gear down while Danny Boy plays in the background tears me up big time. Maybe my dad’s stories about his time in a B17 had something to so with it.

The only time recently my eyes really watered was the scene from LOTR - Return of the King, where Faramir and company rides out to their certain doom, while Pippin sings "The Edge of Night" a capella.

So sad, so much bravery, so much waste.

Grave of the Fireflies.

That's it for me, as far as really crying. (Though if a tear welling up counts, there are a few moving speeches in some good war movies that have had that effect on me.)

I cried at the end of 'The Fast and The Furious' (the first one) when Vin Diesel managed to smash that beautiful Challenger all to hell at the end of the movie. $:-)

The last scene in the movie "Patton".....

"For over a thousand years, Roman conquerors enjoyed the honor of a triumph, a tumultuous parade. In the procession came trumpeters and musicians, and strange animals from the conquered territories, together with carts laden with treasure and captured armaments. The conqueror rode in a triumphal chariot, the dazed prisoners in chains before him. Sometimes, his children, robed in white, stood with him in his chariot or rode the trace horses. A slave stood behind the conqueror, holding a golden crown, and whispering in his ear a warning.....that all glory is fleeting."

The only movie that came close was Always. My sister had lost her stunt pilot fiancé a few years before in a plane accident – he was a good guy…

I know it is not a movie, but I get misty watching almost every episode of The Walkin Dead; they are not afraid to kill people off, including children.

I still mourn the loss of Carol's daughter.

“Grave of the Fireflies” by the great Studio Ghibli is an animated feature that follows the lives of a Japanese brother and sister struggling to survive in the final months of World War II. By the end I was a mess. Probably the saddest movie I’ve ever seen, but excellently done.

The ending of “The Lives of Others” when Wiesler is in the book store, when he’s asked “Is this a gift for someone”, and he replies, “No, it’s for me.”

A perfect ending, and it got me, especially knowing the actor had died soon after filming made it all the more poignant.

The old 1950s partially black and white Christmas film The Littlest Angel which was shown in public elementary schools in the Deep South in the 1960s

First movie to make me misty eyed

When the little angel goes back to earth to get a present for baby Jesus in heaven cause he has nothing like grown Angels

And he hears his mom in the kitchen crying.....Still sad over him

Damn....still emo today even pushing Six Oh

I probably cried 50 years ago when Mrs. Peel drove away with her long-lost husband leaving Steed to deal with that dimwit, Tara King.
