I don't know why, but Costner seems to know how to pull at my heart strings.

Field of Dreams: when he plays catch with his father. This really hits home because my father and I do the same everytime I come home.

Dances With Wolves: When Two Socks (the wolf) is shot and killed by the Americans.

A Perfect World: When Costner's character is shot down in front of the little kid.

Three great films that got me crying more than any others.

 

[Rick Deschaine]

Neil, You're not the only one who cries at the end of The Color Purple . Don't forget just before that when Shug reconciles with her father. This movis makes me cry from happiness as well as sadness. Too bad 'Out of Africa' won best picture instead of this one.
Braveheart - When William is about to die and he sees his Love for the last time.
American Beauty - Right after Lester's death and he is looking back on his life. The images of the picture of the family and ruminations by him are very moving. And yes we do know what he is talking about!

The Natural - The part I cry at is when Roy hits the game winning homer and we see Pop looking in disbelief/awe as the lights shower sparks on the field. What a perfect sports moment.
American Beauty - Right after Lester's death and he is looking back on his life. The images of the picture of the family and ruminations by him are very moving. And yes we do know what he is talking about!

The end of T2 makes me well up a little every time.

 

[Rob Tomlin]

One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest: When Chief breaks free at the end

Schindler's List

The end of Titanic

 

[Ash Williams]

Saving Private Ryan- When Tom Hanks gives his "mission" speech and later at the end where he dies.
A.I. Artificial Intelligence - The very end when David cries. It seems kind of weird feeling for a robot, but the movie is so immersive to me that I can't help it.
Cast Away - Pretty much the entire 3rd Act.
Phenomenon - When John Travolta dies.
Goodfellas - The scene where various people are discovering dead bodies of the people involved in the robbery to the tune of the last part of "Layla".
