I dare anyone to watch Life is Beautiful and not come to the end balling their head off.
On that same note, The Pianist always gets me, especially after having read Polanski's autobiography. A lot of the atmosphere of that film is from personal experience.
The documentary Dear Zachary is utterly heartbreaking. There's a moment in the film where my blood froze.
David Lynch, mostly known for his out there surreal work (and Dune) did a couple of a very touching films: the black and white The Elephant Man with John Hurt and Anthony Hopkins, and the Disney produced The Straight Story with Richard Farnsworth, Sissy Spacek and Harry Dean Stanton. Both are phenomenal. Both probably made my eyes wet.
Special mention to my mom's favorites which include Mr. Holland's Opus, and Dead Poet Society.

Originally posted by mossrose View PostMy Dad used to weep at the drop of a hat. He would tear up when somebody won big on Price is Right.
I loved that about him.
When my kids were little and Mom and Dad came for a visit near Dad's birthday, the kids urged me to make a Care Bear birthday cake for him. You could rent the shaped pans from the local craft store, so I got one and baked it, then asked them which Care Bear I should do.
The answer was Tenderheart Bear.
When we presented the cake to Dad, he looked a bit bewildered, but then the kids explained to him.
Dad wept a little. And then enjoyed cake.
My whole point is, never be afraid of emotion over movies and stuff. It's a good thing.
Oh, and, Braveheart.

"Her" with Joaquin Phoenix, when Samantha bails.
"Creation" with Paul Bettany, when Annie insists on hearing the Jenny death story then dies.
It really freaks me out that movies can elicit such a powerful emotion.
Confession time....
