We pick films. We watch films. We talk about films. We're that cool.

Tear Jerkers
As I sit here watching Brian's Song, the question hits me. What movies brought you to tears, literally a wet face. This is mine, always has, always will. Well this and Old Yeller. What's yours?
OMG, Brian's SOng tears me up when Billy Dee Williams makes that speech and asks the people to love Brian Piccolo and to ask God to love him, too. STILL gets me.
I cry like a baby at another speech, made in "Shenandoah" when James Stewart speaks to his dead wife's grave. Just tears me up.
There are prolly many specifics, but in general anything with kids having a disease or disability, animals in pain or a military widow receiving the folded flag about does me in.

At the end of "The Wedding Singer" when Adam Sadler sings "Grow Old With You" to Drew Barrymore.
The moment in “A League of Their Own” when Shirley Baker can’t read her name on the roster.
Didn't think I was such a sap, did ya?
I really hate to admit this but by the time they show the old couple in the bed in Titanic, I am a puddling mess of goo.
And sometimes when Boromir dies, it gets me.
Worst of all: when Dumbo goes to visit his imprisoned mother and she rocks him in her trunk... oh, there I go...

Omigawd I'm the only man to comment here.
Real men cry, baby...
Remember the scene in A Clockwork Orange when Alex is on stage. He wants so badly to grab those lovely tits but he JUST.CAN'T.DO.IT.
Gets me every time.
