Movies that make grown men cry

[FBSDeMorgan]

Guaranteed to get me going every time:

The Iron Giant (both unimaginable sorrow and then unbridled joy)
ET
Up
Pan's Labyrinth
Being There

There are more, but I can't think of any more immediately!

Marley & Me

Everytime

Neverending Story...

32 years old and still can't bear the Artax swamp scene

As I've got older I've become more of a wimp, not quite crying but loads of films have had me watery eyed but not to the point of tears.

Transformers:The Movie (Prime's death).

The Iron Giant ("I am Superman").

They are the ones that I would have said straight off the bat, but (and no pun intended) The Dark Knight Rises also had me weepy eyed and even How To Train Your Dragon!!! I mean, even the KIDS didn't' cry watching that .

I'd go so far as saying that even some episodes of Hawaii Five 0 had me wiping my eyes

Being a parent is probably what kicked that little problem off as before I would watch all sorts of films and not be bothered with them but even watching King Kong the other night on the telly had the kids asking why daddy was sad lol.

The endings for The Fall and Ink get me every time.

It's a bloody shame those films are not better known.

Really Pan's Labyrinth? I kinda understand but I was still hiding under the sofa from the crazy hand eyes man..

'Crash' every time, everything just fits together so emotionally into one pinnacle. too much for me!

I agree on The Dark Knight Rises. I think it's because I grew up obsessed with Batman.

The ending of Man on Fire is quite an emotional scene as well.

Just to add another one, Treasure Planet, the bit where the GooGooDolls sing that song. Gets me every time

Although most of you won't admit it - it has happened to me. Yep, I don't know what causes this phenomenon, but it occurred during the ending of The Green Mile and the end of The Perfect Storm.

What jerked your tears?
