There are any number of film which have made me tear up. I'm a 6' 5½" 235lb nigga. I don't have to
act hard. Sometimes it's not merely tragically sad movies that get to me. If a character sacrifices himself on a point of honor and in the interest of someone else, that will often choke me up, particularly if the beneficiary of the sacrifice is a child or a woman. Or, when a character stares death in the face. For example, in Sin City when Bruce Willis says "A young girl lives. An old man dies. Fair Trade."
- Deep Impact (When Beeterman goes back for his girlfriend, and Andrea says "Look on the bright side. We'll all have high schools named after us."
- Romeo + Juliet (1996)
- A Midsummer Night's Dream (When Bottom says "I have had a most rare vision. I have had a dream; past the wit of man to say what dream it was.")
- Camp (When Michael goes to his prom in drag and gets jumps by a bunch of homophobic closet cases)
- Pretty Woman (When Richard Gere takes Julia Roberts back to the Rodeo Drive store where she had gotten snubbed for being poor, and makes the personal shoppers attend to her like she was Queen Elizabeth.)
- E.T. (When ET tells Gertie to "Be good.")
and on and on...
