That one certainly made my eyes water!0 -
no mention of Sophie's Choice yet? Always gets to me.0

'The Champ' for me as well. 'The Passion of the Christ' which I saw at the cinema, was incredibly moving.0

Cat Ballou
Jane Fonda, Lee Marvin
Catherine Ballou (Jane Fonda) is a schoolteacher until a hired thug kills her daddy. To protect what she loves, she collects two petty criminals, a wisecracking hired hand, and a hired killer, Kid Shelleen (Lee Marvin). Unfortunately, Shelleen is a raging drunk who is so inebriated and unsteady with a gun he literally misses the broad side of a barn.
Watching Cat Ballou has become a solitary vice, accompanied by a few tissues.0 -

Why ever would they ha ha ha0 -
Can't comment on this being of the controlled by hormones gender but will watch Silent Running. Never heard of it before. How anyone can not cry at the Champ I'll never know.0

Champ and Song of Bernardette.0

For me its a film called 'We are marshall'
Its a true story of the 1970 plane crash which killed nearly the whole football team including the coaches and players, only about 3 people from the team survived as they not on the plane.
The film tells the story of how the town tries to overcome the disaster and the building of a new team including coaches. Marshall university had to get special dispensation from the NCAA to field college freshman to play on their team (freshman were not allowed to play in their 1st yr of college). They basically win 2 games all season, but most importantly their 1st home game.
Its gets me everytime they win their 1st home game.
It stars matthew mcconaughey and the bloke jack from lost.1 -

I have to confess to being a bit of a cry baby at films. As well as many already listed (including Toy Story 3) I still can't watch ET without needing to wipe my eyes.0

I am as soft as shite when it comes to weepy movies, I cry at all of them. Goodbye Mr. Chips and Silent Running two absolute classics, and for me the one that stands out is The Railway Children, Jenny Aggutter at the end... "Daddy... my Daddy..." . I'm bloody welling up now just thinking about it. Wuss.0

The bits at the end of Pay it Forward and Big Fish.0

Big Fish, Ewan Mcgregor, Helena Bonham Carter, Albert Finney etc0

Forgot Million Dollar Baby, that had me going.0

Christmas films always do me, Home Alone bought a little tear at the end0

any grown man who cries watching a film should take a look at themself..unless they are watching watership down :-)0

Definitely Marley & Me, had to take a few deep breaths with that one. Oh and the Sixth Sense when the kid makes his revelation to Bruce Willis.0

The only film that has ever got to me is....The Green Mile
Although I deep wept a little at the age of 11 when they said goodbye to ET0 -
I'm a little ashamed to add Nanny McPhee to the list, all be it it was only an excess of water in my eye, but I suspect it still qualifies.

Of those, I've only seen Shawshank Redemption and Life is Beautiful. I didn't cry for either, but I want to watch Life is Beautiful again - don't think it went in the first time.
They also mention Dumbo, Watership down, Star Trek II, Old Yeller, and Little Women. I haven't seen any of these films so can't comment.0 -
Shawshank Redemption is very moving especially when Morgan Freeman is narrating near the end just before he meets Andy on the beach, not sure there were tears but very emotive. And a great film.
Not a film but worth a mention, again not tears but exceptionally moving when they showed Gazza's reaction to Sir Bobby asking about his performance in the 1990 documentary on ITV a few weeks back.0 -
I used to work with a bloke, real tough man. Hard as nails but told me one day (we'd been watching a health & safety video about a young lad who'd been got a job on site by his older brother and ended up choking to death down a shaft because it wasn't gas tested) that he cries at loads of films and that video almost got him.
He could never control himself when Bambi's mum gets shot, at the lion king, all the cartoons he took his kids to see turned him into a blubbering wreck!
His daughter took him to see shrek to see if he would cry when the donkey got locked out of Waynes Shreks house.
He's left the company now so I can tell this to the other lads, no way was I gonna tell that when I worked with the nutbar0 -

Life Is Beatiful is a great film and the most recent that got to me. Seen it about five times now on DVD in English and Italian (with subtitles).
It's worth watching it in both languages, although I enjoyed the film the first time I watched it, I seemed to get more from the film from watching it in both languages. I do that for all foreign films anyway - watch it in both languages!0
