The end of Field of Dreams. When the little girl chokes on the hotdog and the doc crosses the line to help her gets me everytime. It's just such a waste to give up an eternity of playing baseball just to save a stupid little girl that doesn't even know how to chew food properly.
OMG, I was going to say this one ... my favorite tearjerker moment. Also, from the same movie ... "Dad? Would you like to have a catch?" I'm tearing up like a little girl with a skinned knee as I write this.
Also ...
Life is Beautiful ... when Guido is being marched off to be executed but knows his son is watching, so he starts marching silly so the boy won't know his father is about to die.
Big Fish ... all sorts of moments.
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade ... when Henry Jones hugs Indy and says, "I thought I'd lost you, boy," and then later when he says, "Indiana ... let it go."
Frequency ... When Dennis Quaid walks in and blows the serial killer away and then says to Jim Caviezel "I'm still here, Chief."
Clearly I have father issues.
Casablanca ... when Rick lets the Czech boy win at roulette so the boy's young wife won't have to have sex with Louis to obtain an exit visa. When she thanks Rick, and he says, "You're husband's just a lucky man, that's all," I choke up, as I do when he says goodbye to Ilsa and lies to Victor Laslo to spare Ilsa's honor, and she tearfully says, "Goodbye Rick ... God bless you." Man, I'm tearing up again.
The K-State-Nebraska game of 2000 when we score the go-ahead TD just as the snow starts falling. I watch that tape and weep like a child.
The final shot of
Wanted: Dead or Alive after Rutger Hauer blows up Gene Simmons head with a grenade and then walks to the edge of the river, remembers the loss of his best friend and his girlfriend, and just collapses, broken.
The end of
Phantom of the Opera when Christine comes back to give the Phantom her ring before leaving forever. I also get chills at the midway point when he's on the roof of the opera singing, "You will curse the day you did not do / All that the Phantom asked of you."
That's a starter. I'm a big weeper in movies. That doesn't make me gay, but if you think it does, get this ... the sensitive man shtick scored me more trim in college than most of you macho boys will ever sniff in your life. When I die, my woody is going into the Hall of Fame for all the action it saw because I laid the groundwork by crying at movies. Any of you lay claim to that?
