Everytime, I watch the movie "A Time to Kill", I cry. That movie gives me chill bumps! That's one of the reasons why I love *************(Dang! Its hard to get this program not to break the man's name apart! Verboten!) Samuel L. Jackson so much. That man can act his arse off! Matthew McConahey (sp?) as the lawyer was brilliant! His summation in the movie gets me everytime!
Samuel L. Jackson (My man!) 
Matthew McConaughey (correct spelling)
Gosh! I can believe that I got an AD click-on thingy for Keanu Reeves on this post! Wow! Now, that's what I'm talking 'bout!
"Dances with Wolves", "The Green Mile", "Forest Gump" to name a few...
Notice a theme here?
It's terrible. I have to have the kleenex box beside me when I watch these things.
Zeroday, "Forrest Gump" made me cry, too. I can't believe that woman had the nerve to die! How could she?!
You know that I have never seen "Dances with Wolves"?

Get the Directors Cut DVD and a large box of Kleenex.
The first time I saw Forest Gump I cried. I just watched it again recently, without tears. I can't think of anything I've cried at lately. But some typical triggers: when children are born or are hurt or when they leave home. Sometimes I cry at depictions of the elderly.
Steel Magnolias
I still can't watch the first part of "Private Ryan" with out loosing it completely...
Scent of a Woman:
Scene
After Colonel Frank Slade is leaving the Thanksgiving dinner of his brother and family. Having made a spectacle and being derided by one of his nephews. His statement to his brother upon leaving;
" I'm no fucking good, and I never have been "
Scene
During his seeking out of final pleasures, his partner and guide suggest that they go for a ride. Colonel Slade is blind but has a love for not only women, but fine motor cars as well. He's taken for a ride in a Ferrari, driven by Chris O'Donnell, who plays his guide. Frank Slade, who Al Pacino plays, convinces his guide to allow him to drive the Ferrari.
Although being blind, he takes him down back streets of New York City, that are free of traffic or people. To see him get a feel for something he so desires is hilarious as well as touchingly brutal in the same space. I laugh and cry all at the same time like clockwork.
Chris O'Donnell does everything in his power to prevent him from wanting to execute his plans of committing suicide.
An excellent movie for guys and dolls, and particularly good for father and son sharing.
