Films You Always Get A Dashed Bit Of Grit In Your Manly Eyes When Viewing

Patriots Day.

Had some grit when the ambulance drove off with the boy inside and everyone saluting it. And at the end, with the real footage of the victims crossing the line.
 
The Road, that film always leaves me feeling extremely deflated even though it's a happy enough ending.

The book is far better than the film though, and more brutal.

Into the Wild would be another, sort of a similar theme to the above without the apocalyptic aspect.

Basically any film where people are on a journey to survive or to try and figure themselves out will set me off.
 
12 Years a Slave always gets me, that scene at the end when he's reunited with his family. It's absolutely brutal thinking that black people went through what he did in that film and that humans are capable of treating it each other so terribly simply because they are a different skin colour.
 
John Wick dog scene...
Up
oddly the sigourney weaver moment in Avatar
Good will hunting, his wife farting in her sleep. magical scene.
Band of brothers camp scenes....OMG everytime ive watched it and everytime it gets me.
dead Poets society
 
This subject has been done to death on these forums so for the 17th time, I'm going to say... Grave of the fireflies.

It all started with 'Room'. I simply can't stop crying once that movies started. It's just so wonderfully pure as a story.

Just the one bit got me....

when they were re-united after he escaped. Damn leaky eyes... :p
 
Practically any film can get me going. I cry at everything.

First film I specifically remember it happening in was Forrest Gump at the cinema, so I would have been 12. I remember crying pretty early on, when he started running and broke his leg braces, and one of the people I was at the cinema with asked why I was crying. Makes me well up just thinking about it.

But yeah, I’ll cry at almost anything.
 
Braveheart - the music does a great job of stirring the emotions, however the scene near the end when he sees his missus in the crowd has been known to cause eye grit situations.
 
The end of Dragonheart. The music and everything gets me tearing up. :(
Good Will Hunting
A Beautiful Mind
Saving Private Ryan where he asks his wife at the end if he's a good man
 
I cried in the cinema for the 2nd time I think ever watching CoCo last week.

I did not expect myself to cry, I wasn’t even that hooked in the story but something clicked and then I couldn’t stop it!
