    Philadelphia whenever that came out first, it's a long time ago now and I was a child that didn't know any better. I haven't cried once since then.

    Die Hard - when he get's the machine gun.

    When the Wind Blows (1986)

    no joking, male or female, if youre not welling up by the end of that movie, you're not human.

    I get teary during Transformers :p its just so beautiful. No other reason just that the buildup for the first half is just cool.

    Also - the Broken Arrow Scene from We Were Soldiers: im sorry if you dont get teary when you see one little 4-eyed geek radio in that much Air Support: you just dont love your military enough.

    Not a film but the Christmas episode of 'Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip'. The song at the end is about the only thing I can think of that makes me well up...

    There's a film in which some guys decide to commit suicide by gluttony. Can't remember the title. Locked themselves in with the best food and drink available and attentive ladies of a certain profession.

    Brought tears of joy to my eyes.

    McQuade : Lone wolf

    Chuck Norris although a legend is the worst actor I have ever seen. THis was on last night and I was actually in tears laughing.

    Ah yes, a teary moment for anyone to watch that infamous scene.

    Grave of the Fireflies is one that could break even the toughest of men.
