Searching for Bobby Fischer is a excellent movie. I have a couple movies: I AM SAM with Sean Penn. Another good movie is Life Is Beautiful . It is an Italian movie about a family getting sent to a concentration camp and the parents try to keep their son from knowing the horrors that are going on. Also, another one is Brian’s Song. Really great, and considered by many to be the most sad movie for guys ever.
I agree with clone on the choice of Arthur, it had some sad moments on there, especially at the hospital. As far as I can remember, the only movie that made me cry, was Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan. I know, I'm a nerd, but spock's death really affected me.
Kramer vs. Kramer. I only cried because I could related to what was going on. Another movie was Harlan County USA. A documentary but there were parts of the movie where I was so mad at the scabs and worried about the miners that I actually cried a little.
Here's another one: Curse of the Golden Flower. Kung-Fu, murder, betrayal, kings, warlords, bad ass fight scenes... and tears. If you watch the movie from start to finish without interruption, you will cry as if you'd personally had to shoot Ol' Yellar.
@BeerMan5000 I guess I can see how the movie made that list. When it first came out, Rocky was not just a highly original and inspiring boxing flick, but there was the equally inspiring backstory of Stallone's own struggle to overcome adversity and get the film made on his own terms. Thanks for watching!
a movie that made me cry but im not sure about others was Ed Wood. It's a movie about the worst director of all time Edward D. Wood. As a film maker who has spent a lot of time on youtube it inspired me to a point where I showed some tears of joy. That rarely happens for me.
@KelanDWood While it never elicited that kind of emotional response for me, I love that film. It is one of three or four Depp performances on my most recommended list, a list that also includes Benny and Joon, and What's Eating Gilbert Grape. Thanks for sharing.
@huckfinn22 your welcome. I just love it because even though Ed Wood was the worst director ever he never gave up & never let anyone get in his way because he loved filmmaking so much. Although Plan 9 From Outer Space is a hilariously bad movie(that's right i've seen it) we need more people like that directing movies today actually putting heart into what they do. It's definitely an uplifting film that makes you feel good in the end. One of my favorite movies. Depp is a phenomenal actor
@TheSonOfDumb I really do laugh so hard I cry. The first time I watched Blazing Saddles in the theater, I thought I was going to die laughing. Seriously.
brokeback mountain... Damn that scene when he smells his shirt in the closet 20 years later... I never can hold it back. I cried at hotel congo ans other war movies where you see children get hurt... can't handle that ! And I think it's ok for a man to cry in front of a movie, that's kinda cute!
@AndreyZidaneTM From time to time, South Park thinly stretches even my own sensibilities, but when they get it right, they nail it in a most hilarious fashion.
I must admit that when the Grinch's heart grows three times it's size, I get carried away with emotion. I'm referring to the original cartoon version of the movie and not so much with the Jim Carey version.
@Denb7 I am kind of pleased to see so many relatively recent animated feature movies by Pixar, Disney and others striving for more than just mindless children's entertainment, but reaching out to exercise kids' inner feelings of empathy and compassion. It seems a much-needed balance for all the line-em-up, shoot-em-down video games kids play these days. Thanks for watching.
When I saw six years ago, "Plague Dogs" caused me to cry for the first time in my adult life. I watched it again three nights ago -- nothing.
Once again I am dead inside the way I was raised. (I'm hopeful "Grave of the Fireflies", the only other movie to ever make me cry, will still manage to move me the next time I see it.)
I LOVE Ordinary People! I wish I had been alive when it came out so I could've discussed it with others. Also, I think that Philadelphia, on the eharmony list, is definitely a tearjerker, even for guys. The ending? I sobbed. Also, Forrest Gump is a movie that guys would see that would probably at least leave them emotional. Thanks for the video!
@kllyforman I am moved by extraordinary performances, and like Ordinary People and its entire cast, Philadelphia with Hanks and Denzel is one of those films. Two amazing actors at their best with a script worthy of their talents. And as for Gump, that movie has a little of everything, but the scene where Forrest discovers he has a child -- the way in which he physically, emotionally shows his immediate concern -- just an incredible moment. Thanks for your thoughts!
@dianefitzpatrick which reminds me, I miss those old McDonald's commercials with the catchy jingles written by Barry Manilow. I guess I'm just not lovin' it as much. I will have to check out that Be Kind Rewind flick. Thanks Diane!
I can't speak for men, not being one, but I have watched my share of tear-jerkers. A few that I haven't seen mentioned are: Bright Star, which illustrates the love affair between John Keats and Fanny Brawne; Lust, Caution; and Harold and Maude.
I felt gutted after watching Million Dollar Baby, which is a superb film.
The last I can think of that really affected me is the Pixar film Up, but it might stem from my circumstances when I watched it. I have Up PTSD and cannot watch it again.
@GuildOfWhores And I now feel really out-of-touch because I have seen none of these movies on your list. Maybe the only Eastwood film I haven't seen. Thanks!
I will admit that the scene in "Return of the King" when Frodo just cannot go any furthur and Sam says "C'mon Mister Frodo, maybe I cannot carry it for you but I can carry you!" and then proceeds to go up the mountain with Frodo on his back. Gets to me every single time.
@lekocafe Clone strongly agrees with you ... lol. Those books by Tolkien were so amazingly good that I was always afraid no movie could duplicate its more fantastic elements to make a realistic movie. I feared it was destined to only an animated film treatment, but thanks to technology and Peter Jackson, there is finally a film version of the story worthy of the work. It suffers a few small alterations and tons of tough-choice cuts from the original work, but still its a monumental achievement.
@Vista151 Hmmmm ... well, let's just say that Clone is not my twin. I only have one brother, and he is much better looking than Clone. But there's nothing fake about Clone. What you see is what you get.
@DrTazMage I still remember watching Midnight Express many years ago in my teens and found it almost too shocking to leave any room for tears. Maybe it is all the acting experience since then that has softened me up and left me more prone to sudden emotional responses. Just a theory.
@etripzsrpuniversal One reason I did this is because many of my viewers are too young to have seen some of these. They probably don't need much help on movies during their movie-watching lifetime, but in the years prior, I figured these were some they may not know about. After all, Wizard of Oz and Gone With the Wind are still classics, even if made in 1939. But you mention a movie a lot of guys would agree with. Sports flicks always score high with men, which is why so many are on the list.
@dooovde Very interesting choices. In America flew under most folks' radar, and is worth watching for the stunning views of NYC alone, not to mention the kid actors who make this movie work. Life is Beautiful is like the other bookend of Spielberg's Empire of the Sun; both about a kid in World War II concentration camps. Spielberg sets his boy alone fending for himself in a Japanese camp, but Life Is Beautiful is far more harrowing, about a father's love, ingenuity and sacrifice. A great film!
@42317 I thought I had heard of this before but couldn't place it, so I did a google search and found this on the Wikipedia summary:
"Roger Ebert considers it to be one of the most powerful anti-war movies ever made. Animation historian Ernest Rister compares the film to Steven Spielberg's Schindler's List and says, "it is the most profoundly human animated film I've ever seen."
Guess I will have to check this one out, now. Thanks for letting us know about it!
@Petersunnergren The gasp moment are the gunshots, you're right; but the teary moment follows shortly after as all the young men behind the barricade have fallen, the music begins its slow build as the stage begins its 360 degree turn, and at the 180 degree position - the moment that the dead Gavroche is in full view and the music reaches its crescendo - it is no longer a shock but profound sadness. Both of Epinine's songs you name are indeed powerful moments, along with Fantine's death.
@jasonbails More folks named The Notebook as their choice in response to eHarmony's list than any other movie, so it seems a lot of people agree with you. I remember renting that for my mom and she really liked it, so I guess I will need to get it again and check it out myself. Thanks!
@Anglosaxon82 Wow. Talk about immersing yourself with history! I can only imagine the impact you must feel from such proximity to what happened there less than 70 years ago. I must see The Pianist, a movie also based on World War II realitiy. I guess it says something that so many of these films that touch our hearts, like all 3 on your list, feature the best of humanity pitted against the worst of humanity. Thanks!
i watched the move ordinary people and your right, i cried like a baby, i am so glad you showed us that movie because i am 15 and i would have never find that movie otherwise. Thank you huck.
@Akps7 This comment really made my day. I made this video in the hope that a few people would take a chance of seeing at least one of these films they'd never seen before. I think one of life's joys is sharing some of the things you love most. Thank you!
@MrLegalizeweed Religious beliefs / non-beliefs are polarizing issues. I do not consider myself atheist, but neither do I take the Bible literally. I believe the example Jesus set, while not proof of deity, is a model of how we should treat one another. He challenged Old Testament teachings in favor of love for all, selflessness instead of selfishness. It stuns me how folks on the religious right ignore Jesus' teachings with Republican policies favoring the wealthy while ignoring the poor.
My sister told me her class saw Schindler's List in school, f-words and all, and that boys in her class were all trying to hide their tears at the end. I didn't see it. I don't cry at movies, but I thought The Green Mile was sad.
@TheRocknrollteen I was kind of surprised to hear that many high schools across the country began showing this mature-themed movie not long after its 1993 release, despite some nudity, very tough language and somewhat graphic depiction of Nazi atrocities. Still, I can't fault school authorities for their decision given the power and message of the film. The Green Mile is high on my to-watch list. Don't know how I've avoided it this long.
Did anyone mention Stand By Me? My brother even cried when River Phoenix broke down in tears talking about how he is treated at school. After checking these trailers in your links, I am definately going to watch Ordinary People and the Bobby Fischer movie.
@wenuplay Now how did Clone miss that one? Stand By Me is a classic, and one of my favorites. I always thought its huge success in 1986 was the inspiration for the 1988 TV series The Wonder Years, though the Wonder Years is set a generation later in the 70's. Thanks for reminding us of that one.
Saw the Iron Giant on there. and I agree with that one. One of my favorites ever. I also cry (I don't actually cry, my eyes get all teared up and it feels like crying. Not trying to sound manly, just saying). I also do this in every Pixar movie. So many others, and yours were good too! =)
@BeHappyFilms When a film touches my soft spot (and most films don't get there), I tear-up exactly as you describe. It can be really annoying to feel the need to wipe your eyes before a tear starts running down your cheek in full view of whoever may be sitting beside you at the time. One reason I did this video is beacuse some of the movies here are a bit older and expecially for younger audiences, I wanted to share some of these. Thanks!
I'm not really one that likes sad movies - personally, I think some of them tend to try a bit too hard and you see the train coming a mile away, so to speak. Not to say there hasn't been a few I've seen that have brought a few tears, but I've never broken down in a full waterfall over some that are known for doing so.
That being said, a few moments from memory popped up from obscure places; Puff the Magic Dragon, and Free to be You and Me bring tears every time for some reason.
@Tholc501 Like you, I lose interest fast in any movie that seems to try too hard or is blatantly predictable. That said, there are a few that despits such flaws manage to deliver an impact, if only in one or two significant scenes. The song (which I believe was made into an animated movie years ago) is one of my all-time favorites and always touches a nerve. The Marlo Thomas feature, sadly, is one I have yet to see. Thanks for sharing!
@huckfinn22 I agree. When a movie becomes known for "that one scene", I can't help but see it as the focus, and the rest of the story becomes filler for it. Not all do this of course, but it almost gives me an eyetwitch when such moments are inserted with the expectation of doing so much like flashing an "applause" sign.
The only one that ever caught me off-guard was Puff (aforementioned animated movie) and I can't for the life of me explain why. Nicely done though, Huck. Thanks for the vid!
can i suggest a game? halo reach yeah sounds lame but the cut scenes with the Spartans dieing (such as long night of solace with george) and the final cut scene with it showing noble 6's helmet (your character) and dr. hallsey (an important character) telling about how reach is better thanks to your sacrifice is just amazing. I LOVE BUNGIE!!! no company can make a series with a better story line.
@qwertyuiopasdfgh1111 Interesting. I am not familiar with that company's line of games though of course I know how popular the Halo games are with so many. I pretty much stick to Lord of the Rings Online when I have a little time to play, but most of my interest stems from just the goal of completion of the task and the conversation and interaction with other players around the world. Thanks for a different perspective.
@LadyRene100 Thanks, that's so kind of you to say. I hope to do my best to maintain a weekly schedule of videos from here on out, with Monday uploads as the goal, but as you can see with this post, two failed attempts at a greenscreen video newscast required me to come up with something more doable for now, causing a two-day delay. Hope to work these things out as I go along here. Thanks!
@Crabb90 I am glad you brought up this title. Excellent film, with stunning performances all around. If there is a criticism of this film it is that its length and occasional obsession with dialogue will test the patience of those who like their entertainment in 90 minute or less, but like the film Gettysburg, those criticisms cannot lessen the sheer impact of the film. Great addition to the list.
@GreatEighthSin One of the most hauntingly powerful, brilliantly constructed films ever made. At times, its illumination of man's darkest side is almost too much to comprehend. Watching Schindler's transformation from self-indulgent dispassion to selfless compassion and benevolence may be one of the most profound illustrations of both what's worst and best in each of us that has ever captured on film. I'm thinking now, I should get around to finally seeing Up. Thanks for your thoughts.
@aspenglo6 Interesting. I just don't see many animated movies, Pixar or Disney, so I have'nt seen Anastasia. Your second choice left me horrified at how revolutions spare not even the innocent (the kids), though history teaches that ending all royal lines of succession is a harsh historical truth. Oh God was an amazingly clever, thoughtful film. Denver and Burns were brilliantly cast! "I don't (belong to any organized religion) either" and "Be a bit nicer to each other" still resonate with me.
@goog2k In the hands of a lesser director, this film could never have pulled off what it sets out to do .. force the viewer to examine his own soul while taking an unvarnished look at man's inhumanity to man. And yet, David Lynch manages to leave us in the end with a glimmer of hope for man's inner spirit and a renewed spirit of empathy for others. Great choice!
@goog2k Total Eclipse, especially when Rimbaud was getting poop shooted from behind by Verlaine
Arthur Rimbaud (Leonardo DiCaprio): The only unbearable thing is that nothing is ... Paul Verlaine: Do you think poets can learn from one another? .... Kid: This here is the eagle-butt peacemaker. .. LOL
there are lots but parts of the movie memento make me tear up every time. moon had quite an effect on me as well.. good topic, like i said before i will def stay tuned.. you do facebook??
@mssamnt Nice community, Bay Village! I'm not in Cleveland, but it's a reasonably short distance to get there. Thanks so much for watching and I really appreciate the support!
The ending made me cry, the American team came so close to winning but Tommy (the main character) held back, instead of going all the way and more then likely killing his opponent who had killed his brother in a tournament a while ago.
They start giving out all the medals to the other team, and the guy who killed his brother limps over to him and tells him about how much he respected his brother and him for sparing his life and showing mercy, and then gives him his medal.
@drewstarr71 Very polarizing and troubling topic. I have strong opinions, but fear this is not the place to examine my thoughts. Folks are largely in two wildly opposite camps while the rest can't understand why the two sides just don't get things hashed out. The truth is, the two positions are so divisively opposed there's not a lot of wiggle room for middle ground. Either one side has the answers or the other does. I am tempted to launch a vlog channel for political debate. Should I?
Cool. I didn't know even old guys have youtube channels. Good going guys.

@42317 I thought I had heard of this before but couldn't place it, so I did a google search and found this on the Wikipedia summary:
"Roger Ebert considers it to be one of the most powerful anti-war movies ever made. Animation historian Ernest Rister compares the film to Steven Spielberg's Schindler's List and says, "it is the most profoundly human animated film I've ever seen."
Guess I will have to check this one out, now. Thanks for letting us know about it!

The scene in Les Mis isn't a teary moment.. more a *gasp! OMG!* moment.. the teary moments are On My Own and A Little Fall of Rain
Petersunnergren 10 months ago
@Petersunnergren The gasp moment are the gunshots, you're right; but the teary moment follows shortly after as all the young men behind the barricade have fallen, the music begins its slow build as the stage begins its 360 degree turn, and at the 180 degree position - the moment that the dead Gavroche is in full view and the music reaches its crescendo - it is no longer a shock but profound sadness. Both of Epinine's songs you name are indeed powerful moments, along with Fantine's death.

My number one movie would be The Notebook. I don't even want to talk about it anymore.
jasonbails 10 months ago
@jasonbails More folks named The Notebook as their choice in response to eHarmony's list than any other movie, so it seems a lot of people agree with you. I remember renting that for my mom and she really liked it, so I guess I will need to get it again and check it out myself. Thanks!

Anglosaxon82 10 months ago
@Anglosaxon82 Wow. Talk about immersing yourself with history! I can only imagine the impact you must feel from such proximity to what happened there less than 70 years ago. I must see The Pianist, a movie also based on World War II realitiy. I guess it says something that so many of these films that touch our hearts, like all 3 on your list, feature the best of humanity pitted against the worst of humanity. Thanks!

Huck, are you an atheist?
MrLegalizeweed 10 months ago
@MrLegalizeweed Religious beliefs / non-beliefs are polarizing issues. I do not consider myself atheist, but neither do I take the Bible literally. I believe the example Jesus set, while not proof of deity, is a model of how we should treat one another. He challenged Old Testament teachings in favor of love for all, selflessness instead of selfishness. It stuns me how folks on the religious right ignore Jesus' teachings with Republican policies favoring the wealthy while ignoring the poor.

My sister told me her class saw Schindler's List in school, f-words and all, and that boys in her class were all trying to hide their tears at the end. I didn't see it. I don't cry at movies, but I thought The Green Mile was sad.
TheRocknrollteen 10 months ago
@TheRocknrollteen I was kind of surprised to hear that many high schools across the country began showing this mature-themed movie not long after its 1993 release, despite some nudity, very tough language and somewhat graphic depiction of Nazi atrocities. Still, I can't fault school authorities for their decision given the power and message of the film. The Green Mile is high on my to-watch list. Don't know how I've avoided it this long.
huckfinn22 10 months ago
Did anyone mention Stand By Me? My brother even cried when River Phoenix broke down in tears talking about how he is treated at school. After checking these trailers in your links, I am definately going to watch Ordinary People and the Bobby Fischer movie.
wenuplay 10 months ago
@wenuplay Now how did Clone miss that one? Stand By Me is a classic, and one of my favorites. I always thought its huge success in 1986 was the inspiration for the 1988 TV series The Wonder Years, though the Wonder Years is set a generation later in the 70's. Thanks for reminding us of that one.
huckfinn22 10 months ago
Saw the Iron Giant on there. and I agree with that one. One of my favorites ever. I also cry (I don't actually cry, my eyes get all teared up and it feels like crying. Not trying to sound manly, just saying). I also do this in every Pixar movie. So many others, and yours were good too! =)
BeHappyFilms 10 months ago
@BeHappyFilms When a film touches my soft spot (and most films don't get there), I tear-up exactly as you describe. It can be really annoying to feel the need to wipe your eyes before a tear starts running down your cheek in full view of whoever may be sitting beside you at the time. One reason I did this video is beacuse some of the movies here are a bit older and expecially for younger audiences, I wanted to share some of these. Thanks!
huckfinn22 10 months ago
I'm not really one that likes sad movies - personally, I think some of them tend to try a bit too hard and you see the train coming a mile away, so to speak. Not to say there hasn't been a few I've seen that have brought a few tears, but I've never broken down in a full waterfall over some that are known for doing so.
That being said, a few moments from memory popped up from obscure places; Puff the Magic Dragon, and Free to be You and Me bring tears every time for some reason.
Tholc501 10 months ago
@Tholc501 Like you, I lose interest fast in any movie that seems to try too hard or is blatantly predictable. That said, there are a few that despits such flaws manage to deliver an impact, if only in one or two significant scenes. The song (which I believe was made into an animated movie years ago) is one of my all-time favorites and always touches a nerve. The Marlo Thomas feature, sadly, is one I have yet to see. Thanks for sharing!
huckfinn22 10 months ago
@huckfinn22 I agree. When a movie becomes known for "that one scene", I can't help but see it as the focus, and the rest of the story becomes filler for it. Not all do this of course, but it almost gives me an eyetwitch when such moments are inserted with the expectation of doing so much like flashing an "applause" sign.
The only one that ever caught me off-guard was Puff (aforementioned animated movie) and I can't for the life of me explain why. Nicely done though, Huck. Thanks for the vid!

can i suggest a game? halo reach yeah sounds lame but the cut scenes with the Spartans dieing (such as long night of solace with george) and the final cut scene with it showing noble 6's helmet (your character) and dr. hallsey (an important character) telling about how reach is better thanks to your sacrifice is just amazing. I LOVE BUNGIE!!! no company can make a series with a better story line.
qwertyuiopasdfgh1111 10 months ago
@qwertyuiopasdfgh1111 Interesting. I am not familiar with that company's line of games though of course I know how popular the Halo games are with so many. I pretty much stick to Lord of the Rings Online when I have a little time to play, but most of my interest stems from just the goal of completion of the task and the conversation and interaction with other players around the world. Thanks for a different perspective.

@LadyRene100 Thanks, that's so kind of you to say.

Hope to work these things out as I go along here. Thanks!

huckfinn22 10 months ago
@Crabb90 I am glad you brought up this title. Excellent film, with stunning performances all around. If there is a criticism of this film it is that its length and occasional obsession with dialogue will test the patience of those who like their entertainment in 90 minute or less, but like the film Gettysburg, those criticisms cannot lessen the sheer impact of the film. Great addition to the list.

Ya, Schindler's List is a big definite. One of the most powerful movies out there.
For me, Pixar's Up.. But, I'm a romantic so I do get teary eyed with movies like that, lol.
GreatEighthSin 10 months ago
@GreatEighthSin One of the most hauntingly powerful, brilliantly constructed films ever made. At times, its illumination of man's darkest side is almost too much to comprehend. Watching Schindler's transformation from self-indulgent dispassion to selfless compassion and benevolence may be one of the most profound illustrations of both what's worst and best in each of us that has ever captured on film. I'm thinking now, I should get around to finally seeing Up. Thanks for your thoughts.

@aspenglo6 Interesting. I just don't see many animated movies, Pixar or Disney, so I have'nt seen Anastasia. Your second choice left me horrified at how revolutions spare not even the innocent (the kids), though history teaches that ending all royal lines of succession is a harsh historical truth. Oh God was an amazingly clever, thoughtful film. Denver and Burns were brilliantly cast! "I don't (belong to any organized religion) either" and "Be a bit nicer to each other" still resonate with me.

Based on a true story. There's a line near the end that tore my heart out. .Can't even think about it without bursting into tears.

goog2k 10 months ago
@goog2k In the hands of a lesser director, this film could never have pulled off what it sets out to do .. force the viewer to examine his own soul while taking an unvarnished look at man's inhumanity to man. And yet, David Lynch manages to leave us in the end with a glimmer of hope for man's inner spirit and a renewed spirit of empathy for others. Great choice!

"Best of the Best"
The ending made me cry, the American team came so close to winning but Tommy (the main character) held back, instead of going all the way and more then likely killing his opponent who had killed his brother in a tournament a while ago.
They start giving out all the medals to the other team, and the guy who killed his brother limps over to him and tells him about how much he respected his brother and him for sparing his life and showing mercy, and then gives him his medal.

drewstarr71 10 months ago
@drewstarr71 Very polarizing and troubling topic. I have strong opinions, but fear this is not the place to examine my thoughts. Folks are largely in two wildly opposite camps while the rest can't understand why the two sides just don't get things hashed out. The truth is, the two positions are so divisively opposed there's not a lot of wiggle room for middle ground. Either one side has the answers or the other does. I am tempted to launch a vlog channel for political debate. Should I?
