The Art of Driving in the Rain (such a good movie)
Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father (A Doc but so powerful)
Marley and Me (yeah an obvious one)

The Ghost and Mrs. Muir (1947)
No, not the '70's TV series, which was played strictly for laughs. Although this movie has some comedic elements, it's no "rom-com."

Lucy Muir: I wish you wouldn't swear. It's so ugly.
Captain Gregg: If you think that's ugly, it's a good thing you can't read me thoughts!

Fred Derry: You gotta hand it to the Navy; they sure trained that kid how to use those hooks.
Al Stephenson: They couldn't train him to put his arms around his girl, or to stroke her hair.
Excellent choices. October Sky,The Art of Driving in the Rain, Dances With Wolves (Aguidneck you nailed the scene- I totally lose it every time I see it). I would add Second Hand Lions and Field of Dreams.
2nd one was obvious...couldnt sleep for days, wasn't right for weeks..
1st one... when Sanka ruins Yul's dream by informing him that the postcard he has dreamed about making his home one day is Buckingham Palace and there is no chance it will ever happen... it just crushes me every time since I was 9 years old and saw the movie the first time
I can’t sit through the whole movie, but the last ten minutes are a sure-fire cry for dads, or anyone who ever had a dad, or anyone who missed having a dad.
The Cider House Rules is another mediocre film with some powerful moments.
The last scene of Schindler’s List gets me too. A big branch of my family tree stops suddenly at 1942, and another was saved - somewhat randomly - by an uncle’s employment on the Soviet railroad; so there’s a special resonance in those final images.
Here’s an embarrassing one: Love Actually. Yeah, it’s a chick flick, but Liam Neeson and Thomas Brodie-Sangster nail the father-son stuff.
that last scene in Furious 7 when Paul Walker (Brian) is driving away and Wiz Khalifa singing "See you Again". Love those movies no matter how ridiculous they get.
Field of Dreams when the doctor leaves the field
The Color Purple - you know the scene
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid ending
Terms of Endearment when kids are at side of dying mother’s bed
I can see that. Other good Pixar cries include the opening sequence of “Up” and the next-to-last scene of “Toy Story 3”, which is their “Schindler’s List”.
I dare any of you tough guys to watch Phenomenon without getting choked up.
Interestingly, it's a really great movie that will rivet you to the screen from start to finish and John Travolta is at his best (great cast with Forest Whitaker, Robert Duvall, Kyra Sedgwick, etc.)
the only movie I ever cried at. Broke down at the theater at the end with my wife. Triggered PTSD. Brought back too much shit. Thought I was ready to watch a modern war movie, but wasn't.
first thing that came to mind is the end scene montage in Big Daddy. Probably because I watched it at an impressionable age but that one always made me feel a bit of eye strain.
The Road Home - A Chinese movie about the romance between
when the kids are outgrowing their toys in one of those Toy Story movies. Funny how when you have children certain things get you that never would have prior to that.
it was the HBO documentary for Miracle on Ice called "Do you Believe in Miracles: The Story of the 1980 US Hockey Team"
it was narrated by Liv Schreiber and better even than the movie Miracle. Many of the players were in it including Russian goalie Vladislav Tretiak, Herb Brooks was in it, and others were too. There was some scenes where they were talking about how depressed people were around that time. the hostages, gas prices, cold war, people just didn't feel great about themselves as a country.
And seeing the tears of joy from average citizens - not to mention the team members, made me feel proud. not really misty eyed but proud. Can you name a sporting event that lifted the spirits of an entire country like this one did?
I can't.
There is also a 30 min ESPN Documentary that can get people choked up. link - ( New Window )
When Booby Miles breaks down in the car with his uncle after cleaning his locker, horrified by a future without football. About as well-acted a scene as you'll ever see in a sports movie.
- Day of the Dolphin - This movie absolutely ruined me as a kid
- King Kong - The end of the 1976 version ruined me as a kid
- The Fault in our Stars
- Beautiful boy - Reminded me of my youngest brother who we lost
Ditto that. My old man took me to see it in the theatres when it first came out. I must've been like 12. The depiction of Omaha beach gutted me. The ending always gets me too.
and not because of Jack and Rose.. but for the sheer tragedy...
Same. Seeing all the people in steerage with no where to run is hewrtbreaking. Especially the scene with the mother tucking her children into bed knowing their going to die.
When Mel Gibson is about to return to war. Little Susan (who previously wouldn't speak to him) runs toward him crying and begging him not to go.
I cry like a bitch every time I see this.

Oh, that's a good one. He may be nuts, but Gibson is a great actor for scenes like those.
because I saw that movie in a theater in NJ the night it opened. There were at least a dozen elderly veterans in the theater, wearing their VFW hats or other service gear and there were many of them openly weeping during the The D-Day sequence. I think about it every time I see the movie.
But a few scenes that stand out (will try not to spoil anything):
1. When the housekeeper drives the kids to school.
2. When Robin Williams’ character is about to enter “hell” with Cuba Gooding Jr’s character and he has a revelation.
3. When he realizes who the Asian woman is. And why.
4. At the end when the two little kids meet and the girl gives the boy half her sandwich.

Many scenes in Local Hero, as well. But the biggest for me ... when Mac makes the phone call after returning to his apartment in Houston. Gets me every time.
Family and i watched the Art of Racing in the Rain
Excellent choice!
How about how much you want to punch the Father-in-law the day of (you know what)
Another good one!
Vanilla Sky
Remember the Titans(pretty much any damn sports film)
La La Land
Saving Private Ryan (fuckin war movies, amiright?)

Also for some reason I lose it at the end of working girl.
There's something wrong with me.

Nobody cried when Old Yeller got shot? I'm sure.
I cried my eyes out.

LOL - yeah, that one and Tombstone....or maybe Pulp Fiction

All I have to do is hum the theme from Brian's Song and my sister will start to cry.

Million Dollar Baby, my God, I felt like I needed to take a couple of anti-depressants after that one.
The Mayor of Casterbridge . An excellent adaptation of the Hardy novel. Ciaran Hinds. Wow.

I finally found the only other person to see Let Him Have It. Saw it with some of the cast at a screening way back when. Great movie. Gut punch.
Also good call on Interstellar. Soundtrack is great too.

Hey! I know that was a Michael Bay movie, but that was a really well-done scene!

His portrayal of Del Griffith in Planes, Trains & Automobiles is one of my favorite movie characters of all time.
