I read this article a few weeks ago which outlines 25 movie moments that make men cry. Some I agreed with (Rudy, Shawshank) but there were a few that must have passed me by (Major League???). Anyway, here are some of the movies they listed. What are the ones that caused you to act like there was something caught in your eye?
Rudy (when he gets in the game)
Dead Poets Society (“Oh Captain my Captain”)
Top Gun (When Goose died)
BraveHeart (The end…period)
ET (“I’ll be right here”)
Field of Dreams (“Want to have a catch?”)
Rocky (When Micky Died)
Good Will Hunting (“tell them I went to see about a girl”)
Shawshank Redemption (The End)
Boyz in the Hood (Ricky gets killed)
Rain Man (several parts)

aggreed on GWH, SR, Boyz, and Braveheart… The others were good but not really causing any choked up moments.
I don’t know of many that i’ve gotten too choked up over as an adult but here’s a list of the ones that got me as a child / teenager:
pretty much all of EWood’s early movies: The War, Radio Flyer, Paradise… oh, and A Perfect World (not E Wood)… i’m sure there are others, but i can’t remember them.
I didn’t add any to the list from the site, but I would have to say that “The Pursuit of Happyness” was moving. No matter how many times I have seen it, even though I know what’s coming there is one movie that rips me up every time…
“Brian Song” (the original AND the remake)
