Sure, I know it's just the work of some screenwriters jerking around my emotions, but there are movies where you just can't help but get teary-eyed. Without blaming it on "allergies", Top of my List:
"My Dog Skip". Saw it once. Can't watch it again.

Not a movie, but I always cried during "The Dukes of Hazard" when the General Lee went heading towards another ramp knowing what was going to happen when the front end hit the ground.

I always cry in the middle of Bullitt, when the Mustang tears off a control arm in the ditch at the end of the chase, and that hot '68 Charger R/T veers into the gas station. Another notable tear jerker for me is when Joe Don Baker as Buford Pusser hits the guy in the back with his big stick like a Louisville slugger in the 1973 classic, Walking Tall.

the fast and the furious when that beautiful black charger rolls, oh I am tearing up now, or any movie where a beautiful 1911 hits the floor!

Not that I would admit crying over a movie, but the part in Dirty Harry when Scorpio has Harry toss his 29 on the concrete kinda brings a lump in my throat.

Any movie that costs over 9 bucks.

I watched "The Notebook" with my wife on a date night while the kids were with grandma. In the final moments of the film, when it is revealed that James Garner's character is actually telling his Alzheimer's stricken wife the story of their love for one another, that was pretty tough. Seeing ol' "Maverick" cry after she slips back into dimentia, after having only a brief moment of clarity with her, broke me.

EDIT: Sorry Ma'am! My sincerest apologies!

I'm with Sip. I've only gone to one movie in the last 20 years. That was Dances with Wolves.
Near the end of the movie, Two Socks and Lt Dunbar literally and figuratively trapped between the old ways (Indians) and the new ways (White soldiers). Watching Two Socks trying to choose an escape route and being shot, tore me up.

As a member of a pioneer family in Wyoming and a "Buckskinner" and knowing we took the land from the Indians, and now watching modern civilization encroaching and taking my way of life, I can strongly relate to what the movie was saying.

Can't say as I cried, but it gave me a deep sense of sadness to know that time after time, "ways of life" have been destroyed by what we call progress.

I guess I kind of expressed some of my feelings in this story I wrote on my web page

Iggy's story. http://home.bresnan.net/~buflerchip/iggystory.html

Good Morning:
1. Bambi- when His Mother is killed
2. Old Yellow- when Old Yellow has to be "Put Down"
3. My Dog Skip- when Skip is dying and wants up on His Master's bed.
4. The Yearling- when Flag has to be killed
5. Sands of Iwo Jima- when "John" is killed and the American Flag is raised.

When Alan Ladd kept on riding even after Joey shouted "Shane! Come back!"

The Steve McQueen movie "LeMans" when the Ferrari 512 crashed and burned, and then later when Steve McQueen's "Porsche 917" (actually a Lola T70 fitted with a 917 body) also crashed. I happen to like the Lola T70 series.

The Ferrari 512 has been restored to its original condition. What happened to the Lola? Who knows? I've heard that the real Porsche 917 that Steve drove in the movie is now owned by Jerry Seinfeld.

.....But a waste of a fine automobile, nonetheless.

"The Natural", when Roy Hobbs (Robert Redford) is considering throwing the game but upon learning the son he didn't know he had was in the stands, goes for the win instead. OK, not so much.

It was Old Yeller for me, but I was still in knickers.

Old Yeller for sure.

I didn't cry, but I couldn't enjoy the rest of the movie when in the opening scenes of Raiders, Indiana Jones uses his bull whip to snatch the Colt SAA out of his conniving guide's hand and it landed in the creek. I don't believe anyone picked that gun up! Am I the only one disturbed by this? Is that gun still laying in that creek?

A big +1 on what FrankD 45 said

There was an HBO movie about bringing home an Iraq casualty called "Taking Chance" that had me reaching for my man card to turn in, but I have to also agree with FRANKD45 said.

At the end of Saving Private Ryan, when the elder Ryan asks if he has been a good man, get's me every @#$% time. AND, the interviews with the real men from E company in Band of Brothers when they talk about each other as friends.

"Taking Chance", the story of a KIA Marine's journey home, with Kevin Bacon as the Marine Lt. Col. escorting his body, got me throughout the movie. If you haven't seen it, you must.

Also, the opening of "Saving Private Ryan" where the old veteran went to visit the graves of his D-Day buddies, was heart-wrenching.

"Marley and me" and "My Dog Skip" also had some moments for anyone who has ever loved a loyal dog.

Shoot the CPU, not the monitor

Almost any recent movie where a singer usually female thinks that she can act. Gives me the willies.

Taking Chance is a good one especially when they show pictures of the real Chance Phelps. Old Yeller, Where the Red Fern Grows, I also agree with Saving Private Ryan. Not a movie, but Ken Burns' Civil War miniseries when you see and read or hear some of the comments and letters. Sullivan Ballou's letter to his wife before going into battle and being killed in action set to the tune of Ashokan Farewell is another one that is emotional.

Anything with dogs.

Nat Geo's series "Dogtown" has been known to affect my allergies.

"Taking Chance" and "Saving Private Ryan" do it for me. No matter how many times I watch them.

An early Mel Gibson movie about two runners with the ANZAC of WWI at Galipolli in Turkey.

Watching those young courages men "go over the top" in such a wasteful and dreadful manner, while the strings of Tomaso Albinoni's Adagio in G Minor plays in the background does it for me every time I watch it.

There are others, some mentioned above by others, but I thought I'd add one that many of you may not have seen (it is available here in the States though) and one that stands out a bit for me.

Peace,

Field of Dreams when Burt Lancaster knowingly leaves a place he cannot return to.
