I'm lazy.

The Green Mile ... in several scenes.
Rudy was good, too. How about “Leap of Faith,” when con-man Steve Martin, confronted with a genuine miracle, skips out on his evangelist show and as the truck heads out of town, the rain starts coming down. “Thank you, JESUS!” he shouts, and, for the first time in his life, you think he means it.
This is a dumb list.
“Only time I cried was when Kate Winslet put her clothes back on.”
Thanks...I needed that.
Hell, I’ve got tears of laughter at the moment.
Try “The Gospel,” where the wayward soul singer walks down the aisle as the narrator speaks the “Prodigal Son” verses.
10. The Wrestler - Never saw it so I won't comment.
9. Saving Private Ryan - Huh? Good movie...not a tearjerker, except for maybe the scene at the very end.
8. Braveheart - Saw it 3 times I think. Inspiring. Motivational. Not a cry-inducing thing, though.
7. Field of Dreams - The only one they got right. Absolutely.
6. E.T. The Extra Terrestrial - My wife actually did cry at this one. At the scene where he was laying near death. Not me, though. I thought he looked like a butchered chicken.
5. The Shawshank Redemption - Didn't this have the quintesstial Hollywood happy ending? What's to cry about?
4. Friday Night Lights - See #5 above. BY THE WAY, this may be the only movie in history with a TV show of incomparably superior quality. If you haven't seen the TV version of FNL, please do. It's the only tv show I've ever watched, where I have this thought every single time: "How did something this good get on network TV." Truly remarkable. The movie? Not so much.
3. Terminator 2: Judgement Day - I assume this is a joke?
2. Good Will Hunting - No movie in which the lead character quotes Howard Zinn approvingly is going to induce any emotion from me other than anger.
1. Star Trek II: The Wrath of Kahn - Right. I don't know which made me cry harder, Start Trek II or Smokie and the Bandits II.
And HOW did they miss the NUMBER ONE "guy-cry" movie?
Brian's Song
Hank
Winner!
Mask.
Other great Ed Harris performances are “Gone Baby Gone” and “State of Grace”. Great movies, especially if from the East Coast.
When Tommy Kirk had to shoot Old Yeller.

The Clown Author of this story has no idea...
1) Titanic
2) On the Beach-(Original 1959 with Gregory Peck)
3) Old Yeller
4) Cold Mountain
5) Yamato-Otoko-tachi no Yamato, literally “The Men of the Yamato”
6)The Japanese Ending of the anime “Yamato”, called “Star Blazers” in America. It was considered “too shocking” for Amrican Audiences.
7) How Green Was My Valley
8) Bambi
9) Homeward Bound
I second the vote for “We Were Soldiers”.
Pretty darned emotional in a number of scenes.
Nope, Stargate. Decent movie, awesome TV series (for the first 8 seasons).
I remember Nancy Reagan said she cried when she watched ET. Also saw where so many people loved it. Finally saw it and was amazed how bad it really was. Not even remotely did it make me want to cry.
None on that list were particularly sentimental. only a couple of them were any good.
The sad ending in Wayne’s World really chocked me up.
The movie was based on a novel by author Fred Gipson, who also wrote Hound Dog Man and Savage Sam--dog books for young people that are fast-moving thrillers--and which the "politically correct" crowd would likely find offensive.
Yes! All of the Dennis Lehane movies are spectacular (Gone, Baby, Gone,...Mystic River...The Departed.)
