‘We Were Soldiers’ got to me a little.
My vote. ‘We Were Soldiers’
That one and 'Blackhawk Down' when the two snipers ran out of ammunition after jumping in to try and save the pilots of the downed chopper. Man, talk about two guys who deserved the CMH's they received posthumously.
“We Were Soldiers” when, at the end of the battle, Col. Moore told Joe Galloway that he was sorry his boys died and he didn’t.
And the scenes of the telegram deliveries back home were apparently poorly photographed as they got very blurry — especially the black trooper’s wife. Wow.
We Were Soldiers - Black Hawk Down - Tears of the Sun - and, especially The Passion of the Christ.
Yes - “We Were Soldiers” got to me a LOT. I kept trying to explain to my son that those tears weren’t for the movie so much as the bravery and honor and death of the actual men that the movie portrayed.
I also now cry every time at the end of “It’s a Wonderful Life”. Again, based more on my real-life experiences than the movie.
