Many of the other films mentioned choked me up a little but didn't result in tears.

As an aside, I always figured as men got older, they became more emotionally hardened and less prone to this sort of thing. For some reason, I feel like I'm getting more sensitive and emotional as I age. My kids must be sucking away my powers of super manliness.
I caught Pay It Forward during some Helen Hunt marathon on TBS and was completed shocked by the ending. I was so messed up when they began playing that song "Calling All Angels"

Also, I think being sensitive and emotional is super manly.

TAPS - haven't watched it in years but watched it last night and I cried as i usually cry on 2 scenes. The mister started tearing up really bad at the end when Sean Penn is carrying Timothy Hutton out after he tried to save Tom Cruise. The mister hadn't seen it in years and had forgotten about that part

My Life with Michael Keaton always gets me the one where he knows he is dying and is recording stuff for his unborn son to learn.
