Out of the original list, only Gladiator. The ending is quite powerful. Aside from that, the only one that has made my eyes water would be Deep Impact.

I'll fess up and admit there are a few that get to me.

In Rudy where he finally gets into to Notre Dame and especially the end where he sacks the QB tear me up.

The final half time speech part in Friday Night Lights where the Head Coach points out Boobie Miles and tells the team how much he wishes he could play in the game gets to me too.

I remember seeing Schindler's List when it first came out. I'll never forget the mood of the theatre audience by the time the thing was over. There was sniffling everywhere during the movie, especially near the end when Oscar Schindler wonders out loud how many more lives he could have "bought" with a ring or any other possessions. When I got up to leave, you could hear a pin drop in the theatre. That was the most amount of teary eyed and sniffling, red-eyed men I've ever seen.

Only two ever:

I teared up at Armageddon when Bruce Willis sacrificed himself and I full out cried when I saw United 93. Couldn't even finish watching.

“Dead Poets Society” (1989)

No way, no how.

“Gladiator” (2000)

Why would you cry at the end of this one? He got his revenge and his reward, being reunited with his family. Seems like a pretty awesome moment to me.

“Legends of the Fall” (1994)

A great movie but again nothing to cry over. Life is tough, they dealt with it through action rather than reading poetry.

“The Notebook” (2005)

Never saw it but I would be surprised if I cried.

“Rudy” (1993)

See answer above.

“Saving Private Ryan” (1998)

I could see crying if you had someone close to you in the war but while the end was touching in a way it was also seven shades of awesome!

“Titanic” (1997)

WTF? I question the manhood of any man who cries at this movie. A rich chick wants to slum it with the poor. The poor guy saves her when the ship goes down and as far as I am concerned commits suicide. Then the old lady screws over Bill Paxton and throws away jewlery worth who knows how much. Bah!

When the music plays at the end of "Working Girl," as Tess sits in her new office, my "allergies" really start acting up. Guys (sniff) don't cry over movies.

I have a friend that gets emotional at the end of "Rudy." Really. It's a friend. It's not me. Why are you looking at me like that?

"Old Yeller" still bowls me over even after 35 years.

The only ones I remember seeing my ex cry over were The Wild Geese and Schindler's List.
