im a man.....with a *****. so ive never cried during a movie. But I did feel like crying during an episode of the sopranos
can anyone guess which episode

Long Term Parking?

I'd guess the scene when Adriana is daydreaming that she's getting away, leaving the whole thing behind, and then you realize she's in the car with Silvio and he's taking her to kill her.

That part always had the opposite effect on me. I always thought she dropped the ball on purpose to let her little sister finally "win". I didn't like her little sister, so that just made me angry.

The ASPCA commercial makes me sad. The Saving Private Ryan moment also gets me a bit.

Band of Brothers

When the real Dick Winters is talking about when his grandson asks him if he was a hero in the war. He says no but I served with many.

Ugh. I forgot about that. Always get a lump in my throat.

Saving Private Ryan - The opening D-Day beach invasion scene(s). The horror of war and death. The realization of what mankind has done to one another through time. It makes me sob.

Anything to do with the 1980 U.S. Olympic hockey team gets me all choked up every time.

The Final Countdown - When the two F14's first fly over the senator's yacht, and then when the two F14's get to "toy" with the 2 Japanese Zero's. (If you haven't seen this movie I highly recommend it. It was made in 1979, but it's still holds up today.) I've got a real soft spot for high performance machines and engineering.

I diddnt cry, but after the first time I saw Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, I sat down and seriously reconsidered my life and the way I act towards others.

+1

E.T. was the first movie I remember getting emotional from, and I still do to this day. Basically the whole last 30 minutes.

And the first time I saw The Green Mile. The ending caught me totally off guard, and I was balling like a baby. When MCD tells Tom Hanks not to put the black bag over his head cause he's scared of the dark... sheesh.

BTW. All of the "I'm a man, I don't cry" jokes... go You Tube Jimmy V's speech from the Espys.

Very powerful scene in FOD.

TBOMC - Wow... when she is thinking about getting out of truck at end(reaching for the doorhandle). My goodness that was gutwrenching.

Rocky I (Adrian!)
Armageddon (when Bruce says goodbye to his daughter)
Brian's Song
Wrath of Khan (Spock dies)

Rocky and Rocky 2 - when he is with Adrian when she is in a coma. That whole scene gets to you.

Armageddon - "take care of my little girl" - I have a daughter... WOW

Brians Song - so good and powerful on many levels. The end is truly sad.

Wrath - "needs of the many outweigh the needs of the one"

The Pursuit of Happyness, when they tell him he got the job.

Crash, the scene when you think the crazy guy shoots the little girl in her father's arms.

TPOH - conquer all of his obstacles... based on true story.

Crash - that scene and then the not so much a tearjerker scene as is it about "what is right and what should be" when Matt Dillon saves the woman from the car that was about to expode... while earlier he frisked and fondled her and he was a racist... well he wasnt when he thought about saving her and she wasnt and accepted his help - do the right thing people.

Rudy....freaking wow movie.

When he is running onto the field at the end, crowd chanting his name, and he makes the sack. Gah. No matter how many times I watch it.

Just WOW... that was awesome.

The Notebook got me too. But the wife was on one site sobbing and some gal I never saw before was just boo-hooing. Needed a life preserver on my row.

oh yea, Field of Dreams when Kevin Costner got to play ball with his dad at the end of the movie. My dad had just died and was just about balling at the end....

Salute to your father!!!

She did.
Her future was not baseball... for her sister it was.
Great movie. I liked every performance.... Geena, Madonna... yes even Rosie LOL

Never cried during a movie. But one scene that always gets the lump in the throat is in Season 5 of The Sopranos.

It's the episode where Junior is continually making disparaging remarks about Tony, to the point where Tony breaks off relations. Later in the episode, it becomes apparent that Junior's alzheimers/dementia is kicking in, explaining somewhat his behaviour towards Tony.

Anyways, in the last scene, after Tony has finally agreed to visit Junior, they are sitting on the couch watching TV, and Tony asks why Junior always has to say something mean, followed by a pause, and then "I mean, don't you love me?" This is followed by about five seconds of silence between the two (Junior looking like he might cry) and then it cuts to the credits.

Jesus that gets to me! And I can't really say why. But it's a sterling example of the show at its most brilliant. Rarely one to indulge in melodrama, David Chase perfectly times this moment of vulnerability and pain. It's fleeting and you know the next episode will be business as usual, but for that second....

Anyways, that's my near tear-jerking moment.

This is from a bunch of scenes from Gladiator that equal POWERFUL.


Maximus - see's that his wife and son have been murdered

Juba - save's him and tells him "you will see your family again... but not yet" and helps him heal up.

Maximus and Juba - the bond the make throughout the movie.



Maximus - Husband to a murdered wife, father to a murdered son. I will have my revenge in this life or the next.

Commodus - telling Maximus that his wife and child were tortured and raped

Maximus - The time for honoring yourself will soon be over



Lucilla - go with them(as he dies and see's his wife and kid)

Juba - "I will see you again.... but not yet"

The Yearling - Very much of a predictable, Old Yeller-type ending, but a visually stunning movie, especially considering it was filmed in 1946.
