The Sporting News has a list of movies that make men cry.  Of course, we all know that real men don't cry, but I'm a beta male, and therefore not a real man.  A lot of the movies seem to be sports-oriented, which isn't surprising given the source.  Of the three movies* that have made me tear up some, only one made the list:

13. Big Fish

Again, fathers and sons. For me, it's the ending, seeing all of the fantastic characters of this one man's life come to see him off as he goes into the next life. At least, that's the story his son tells. I love the funeral scene, though, where all of the obvious inspirations of his life's stories come to pay their respects. Also, the scene where Alison Lohman's young wife gets the letter that he died and breaks down into hysterical sobs always gets me a bit because of the power of her performance. By the way, Alison Lohman, totally underrated both as an actress and for her hotness. She's sneaky good and sneaky hot.

It's one of my favorite movies, and I always forget about it. 

*In case you were wondering, the other two are Juno and AI: Artificial Intelligence.
