With Honors starring Brendan Fraser and Joe Pesci. The scene after Pesci dies and they read his will is a tear jerker.

Without a doubt though, one of the most emotional experiences I've ever had is watching Ray Charles singing God Bless America at the BOB during the 2001 World Series..absolute electric moment in time.

The end of Schindler's List and many of the scenes in the camps was pretty harrowing.

It was pretty sad in The Patriot when his little girl finally talked to him as he was leaving. "Daddy don't go, Ill say anything just don't go." That got me a little bit.

Most of the episodes of "Band of Brothers" have brought me to the limits.... Hell, most serious war movies get me to well up. Also for some reason I lost it during, "Pay it Forward" :shrug: I must have been close to starting my period or something

Movies that no man should be caught dead seeing, let alone crying:
1) Beaches
2) Terms of Endearment
3) Steel Magnolias
4) My Girl

You know Jon, it's really not cool to quote me and then purposely change words to make it seem like I don't spell too good :nono:

Schindler's List
Saving Private Ryan
ET

I first saw Schindler's List in a class at ASU and I've never seen so many football players cry. The part where the Nazis take away the kids in the truck is gut wrenching. When ET says to Elliot "I'll be right here" I lose it. I'm not really sure why, but that movie gets me, literally every time.

No one else cries like a baby during "My Life"? Actually, a more accurate description for how I cry in that movie is like a cartoon--tears fly out of my face.

And in fairness, I haven't seen it in probably 7 nyears or so. I'm a lot less caring about other people's plight nowadays.

I'm a baby, I cried at all those movies. I always play it off like something got in my eye, I don't think my wife buys it.

Pariah - are you talking about the movie in which Michael Keaton discovers he's dying so he makes a film of his life for his child?

I just remember that being a depressing film, not one to cry during. :shrug:

Maybe I'll have to see it again...

I am with ya Pariah! That movie made me cry like a girl who just lost a wedding ring down a garbage disposal.

Men crying at movies makes any movie worth the money IMO. It's a good thing this thread wasn't including movies that made women cry. It'd be 20 pages long in about 10 minutes. We're sensitive wussies! :(

That's the one. I guess it just struck a chord with me...same with Life as a House.

The end of Courage Under Fire when Denzel Washington's character has to tell his friend's family that he was responsible for killing their son with his tank (friendly fire).

I fight getting choked up it but it is too damn sad. :(

I don't actually remember crying, but I do remember getting choked up during a movie in 1993 that now seems kinda stupid.

I had just gotten into the movie thing, and I was blown away by a lot of the technology of the time. "WOW! They can do THAT??"

So when you first see the Brachiasaurus's in Jurassic Park, I was literally floored. It looked SO realistic, I loved that and couldn't believe human beings could achieve such a thing.
