what a weird list category. saving private ryan is a good one though. as i think about it, my own list may be just as embarrassing, although i really hope not. in fact, what the hell.. off the top of my head, here goes:
1. rudy - not the end part that you may be thinking about, but the very instant when he's on a park bench outside reading the letter that finally admits him into notre dame. the music picks up at just the right time, and rudy starts crying himself. yeah, i know.. cheese. but watch it again. alone.
2. michael jordan winning the nba championship the june after his father was killed - understandable, i hope.
3. and the band played on - it's a movie about the beginning of the hiv/aids virus here in america. i guess it's more of a "crying on the inside" thing because the film forces me to realize how many people have died and will die because of the disease.
4. meet joe black - i have no fucking idea why. the end, i suppose? this is my most embarrassing one. i'm a weirdo.
5. the footage of walter cronkite announcing to the american public that jfk had been shot - the news anchor must've taken his glasses off and put them back on a total of 20 times in the span of a few minutes. he could hardly gather the breath to read the trembling paper in front of him. it's not so much the actual assassination, considering i wasn't alive for the kennedy presidency, but the way the poor man attempted to hold in his own emotions for the good of society and his job.
6. hbo's special on suicide - among others, there's a mere 10 or 11 year old boy explaining his depression on camera days before his suicide, as his parents watch the tape and break down helplessly. he hung himself with his own belt while he was supposed to be doing homework. horrible, i tell you. parents outliving children, marc, is no contest.
7. shindler's list - the end, of course, during the dialogue in between the characters as the names are being read off.
8. jay and silent bob strike back - i cry every time jay is "the clit commander" and demonstrates his sweet moves. right when he says "oooh, you little fucker.." and rubs it on his nose. god i love that part.
i think there's more, but i'll stop there. marc, for once you've made me think. once. that's all you get. i now nominate songs as the next category. take it or leave it.
