Not tearing up but clearing my throat a couple of times:
1) Best Years of Our Lives when some guy tells the sailor (Harold Russell) that his buddies died in vain and he grabs the guy by the lapels with both hooks and says “If I only had hands!”.
2) The ending of Saving Private Ryan (from IMDB quotes):
Old James Ryan: [addressing Capt. Miller’s grave] My family is with me today. They wanted to come with me. To be honest with you, I wasn’t sure how I’d feel coming back here. Every day I think about what you said to me that day on the bridge. I tried to live my life the best that I could. I hope that was enough. I hope that, at least in your eyes, I’ve earned what all of you have done for me.
Ryan’s Wife: James?...
[looking at headstone]
Ryan’s Wife: Captain John H Miller.
Old James Ryan: Tell me I have led a good life.
Ryan’s Wife: What?
Old James Ryan: Tell me I’m a good man.
Ryan’s Wife: You are.
[walks away]
Old James Ryan: [stands back and salutes]
(clearing my throat as I read this)
3) Gallipoli, where the Aussies make a suicidal bayonet charge (nothing up the spout) against the Turkish machine guns and the film ends with a freeze frame of the guy arcing backwards from the hits. The movie house was silent as a tomb for a minute or so, except for a bunch of guys repeatedly clearing their throats.
Thankfully, there are more movies that trigger tears of laughter.
If you haven’t seen it...The Lighthorsemen might be a movie you’d enjoy.
Australian movie about the Australian Lighthorse in Palestine...
One of the best quotes in the movie “They’re under the guns...”
Have to see the movie to understand why there’s a lump in my throat right now.
