Sensitive topic (pun intended): Movies that make men cry

Christine. In the end where she gets run over by the bulldozer and cones out the size of a bale of hay.

A BIG +1 to that! I love those cars! I personally don't know how anyone can look at a Chevrolet from '57 or '58 and NOT think those year Plymouth two door hardtops DON'T look better.

Field of Dreams "playing catch with his dad"
Saving Private Ryan "Several Scenes"
The video of my twin daughters being born.

Anything with dogs.

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

 

[reddogge]

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

Gallipoli

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,

[Old 44 Guy]

Movie was "The Cowboys". Yeah, was a tear jerker. Espesically when they couldn't find his grave site on their return trip.

She wore a yellow ribbon, John Wayne sitting beside his wife's grave and telling her about his day gets to me.

WHERE THE RED FURN GROWS?

 

[semperfi71]

I had "Taking Chance" in my possesion [a loan from a friend] for over two weeks before I could watch it. I finally did and it was painful. Especially learning about the real "Chance" and seeing his pictures and his family.

I am tired of the government waisting good people's lives while they let scum continue to live.

"Saving Private Ryan" and "Forrest Gump". About half a box of Kleenex each.

Old Yeller, Where the Red Fern Grows,[/url]

I remember crying over Old Yeller when I saw it when I was a kid.
I didn't even know Where The Red Fern Grows was made into a movie, but that was the only time I ever remember crying over a book (in 3rd grade, probably around same age as when I watched Old Yeller) Don't know what it was about dogs dying that tugged at my heartstrings....Im still a dog lover today
Now that I know it exists, I'm buying a copy of the Where The Red Fern Grows movie.....still one of my favorite books ever

 

[The Last Standing Knight]

The ONLY movie men are allowed to cry in is Old Yeller. Any others-turn in your man card. (exception-Shenandoah when Jimmie Stewart's son gets killed by the Yankee )

George C. Scott in the TV movie "The Last Days Of Patton" The final scene did it for me and I will say no more.

 

[Texas Star]

"We Were Soldiers", every time.
Others have mentioned, "Saving Private Ryan."

T-Star

The scene in "Gone with the Wind" where Scarlett runs from the building being used as a hospital into the railyard where there are hundreds of wounded men lying out in the open-then the camera eases back, and the Stars and Bars flag is defiantly flapping in the foreground.

I had ancestors in the Army of Tennessee, one of which died in hospital before they were pushed back to Atlanta.

 

[Krull]

A few war movies,yea,but one I actually can't watch more then the one time I did....was an animated film from Japan (Anime) called "Grave of the Fireflies" which is about two kids in WWII Japan and you follow them through the war and basically...watch them starve to death.

That movie SUCKED and gawd I dunna want to watch it ever again

 

[reddogge]

Not a movie but a book, "The Black Flower", about a young Confederate soldier wounded in the battle of Franklin, TN and was recuperating in a field hospital, meets a young nurse, falls in love and.............
