ASIDE: I wonder what Burt Munro and his neighbors would have thought if they knew the dramatization of his life would be spoken of with awe right next to "Passion of the Christ"? [^))
I loved "World's Fastest Indian." I come from a long line of Burt Munros. Grew up around them. What made you cry in that movie?

I have had Katyn for a while and havent had a chance to open it. Should I prioritize it? Absolutely!

Jimmy in “We Were Soldiers” is indeed an eye misting moment, almost as much as when Col. Moore finds the soldier with his daughter’s wrist band on his wrist. Or, at the end when the journalist was being confronted by the idiotic press.

Well if you guys don’t mind a woman joining in there is an old Jimmy Stewart civil war movie called Shenendoah and I have never been able to get through the end of that without crying. It’s the final scene where everyone is in church and his presumed dead son shows up. There’s one earlier in the film where he finds out his other son and daughter-in- law have been murdered that’s very emotional as well.

Indeed, real men cry. I know MY favorite ones do.

Does crying from laughter count?
To: Lancey Howard
Yes.
To: jimfree
I have that as well, and have never watched it. Every 9/11 my husband asks if I am going to watch it. Just haven’t been able to watch it yet.

Can’t believe no one has mentioned “The Patriot”, especially the scene where the Brits burned down the church with all the people inside.

Ill second that... I hear about how Platoon did it to men. I was shocked at the theatre when I saw it. I heard sniffles at the end and it was only me and about ten older men...

Shenandoah was based on a true story. Probably not really accurate but at least about a real person and events.

Does crying from laughter count?We would have to include Blazing Saddles in that one, I think.

Same here.
My Dog Skip, Black Orpheus, Old Yeller. That scene from Dumbo. Porgy And Bess. I guess there's a few that worked with me that way.

At United 93 I sneaked a 1/4 pint of scotch into the theater to drink with the diet cola from the concession. I knew it would be painful. Aye, painful it must have been, if it was even half decent scotch. Diet Cola? The heart aches for ye, laddie...

I agree again. The end when Barbers Adagio for Strings is playing.. And he finally gets to sleep like a regular teenager.. OH the huge manatees.
To: smokingfrog
Did I miss it? How could y’all leave out The Right Stuff, with young Chuck Yeager (Sam Shephard) out above Mach 1 for the first time, casually reporting that the Machmeter must have broken? When I run the DVD, my keds want to know: “Daddy, are you going to cry again?

The new "King Kong" I think rewatches VERY well. I liked the original well enough, but the new one has really stuck with me and I often have the urge to see it again. It gets better every time -- I've probably seen it four or five times over the years. I highly recommend it. I bawled, of course, but I'm a female. I'll cry at nearly anything. I wept in "Galaxy Quest" when Alan Rickman made the deathbed promise to Quiddick (I think that was his name) -- "By Grabthar's hammer ... I will avenge thee!" *sniff*
But the new King Kong was very well done and I think deserves a place as great movie -- I think it will wear very well and get better with time.
