8. Braveheart
7. Field of Dreams
6. E.T. The Extra Terrestrial
5. The Shawshank Redemption
4. Friday Night Lights
3. Terminator 2: Judgement Day
2. Good Will Hunting
1. Star Trek II: The Wrath of Kahn

[Hammerhead]

‘We Were Soldiers’ got to me a little.

[autumnraine]

A little??? I took my 8 year old daughter and she walked out saying “I never cried so much during a cartoon Mama”

I bawled! But that “Doug” dog was hilarious!

[Lockbar]

They left out “Priscilla, Queen of the Desert”?

[Joe 6-pack]

That was just a run of the mill 928; a girl in my high school had one of those. The Ferrari in FBDO was a vintage classic.

Sorry, gotta agree with the rest: only one, at the end, “Good Will Hunting” - “It’s not your fault”, draws a tear.

You wanna talk tear city? How about end of “It’s a Wonderful Life”, when George realizes how ‘rich’ he really is because he’s very simply a good, caring guy.

Any male who cries overs these movies is not a man.

[februus]

I cried at the end of Old Yeller on the TV when I was about 9 years old.

[ought-six]

I’ve seen a few of those, and didn’t cry at any of them. Sorry.

[fwdude]

Bah!!! Give me Gladiator though, and you'll see this man bawl. Absolutely moving at the end scene.

[anglian]

Oops. So very sad that the film was so short.

1. Braveheart- Made me cry hard.

2. Blow- watched ending one time, cannot watch it again, very sad.

3. Shawshank- Yes, I cried at the end.

4. Powder- very touching movie. I do not see how any person with a heart couldn’t shed a tear.

[buccaneer81]

I cried...twice...at “Titanic”.

Only time I cried was when Kate Winslet put her clothes back on.

[jimfree]

Ah, Der Himmel über Berlin is the German title. Sounds interesting and the plot has tear potential.

[Spike Knotts]

I’ve only shed a tear over two movies. And now I don’t watch movies, because I don’t enjoy being manipulated by faceless leftists with an agenda.

But, in the interest of full disclosure they are...

The entire opening sequence of “The Outlaw Josey Wales,” up to and including the massacre of his fellow irregulars by the feds. Yankee scum!

And “Where the Red Fern Grows,” the 1974 version. The book makes me cry too. I don’t care. I can fight with tears in my eyes. Just the words Ole Dan and Little Anne is enough to set me off. I’m literally tearing up now.

[WhistlingPastTheGraveyard]

Ditto. United 93 shook me like nothing I’d ever seen.

[HospiceNurse]

One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest
To Kill a Mocking Bird

The day after tomorrow(crying for the loss of common sense.)

[gusty]

None of these, but if you were a ball player, Field of Dreams will get you every time.

[combat_boots]

He dies in the new one, too?

[za_claws]

TV movie but Brian’s Song...
and Old Yeller did it for me, but I saw Old Yeller as a kid.

[meowmeow]

What?? I'm a woman and I didn't cry watching any of those movies.

Wait...Star Trek II made me cry. It probably still would.

So one out of ten got me.

KAAAAHHHHHNNNNN!!!!
