Each of these movies I loved meaning they touched me in a certain way and moved me to tears. here are my top 6

Titanic
Jerry MaGuire
Savings Private Ryan

This next group are movies I really liked, but they didn't move me emotionally or in some cases just weren't as good as the top 6. .
The Sting
The Departed
Hurt Locker
Up in the Air
Gran Torino
Kramer vs Kramer
On Golden Pond
The Verdict

I could go on and on
