(And) I am not ashamed to admit it.
At the end of "Saving Private Ryan," at the graveyard scene, with the family.
Tears me up, every single time.

If I get caught, I blame it on my allergies.
Hell Smitty! As long as I can watch my reruns of Tim Allen and Tool Time, I don't need or worry about no stink'n testosterone! Hooo Hoo
I looked at the price tag on the bottle and told her.....nooooooo!
I still have about 2 more months worth and hopefully will regress from my feminine ways when they are gone.
I kind of like these "man boobs" though! Pretty soft and squishy!
Breaks me up every single time.
I have been to the beaches and cemetery in Normandy. The scene reminds of what I saw which is row after row of crosses and I think of the men, who never got the opportunity to live their lives.
In my opinion if you don?t get choked up or end up crying when you see the cemetery then you have lost some of your humanity.
REAL men cry.
When we cry, that's the EXTRA testosterone leaving our bodies.

agree with you 100%.......wish I could bring myself to do it also
It just came to me, Field of Dreams.
Fast forward and I'm getting the same way, and it gets worse as I get older.
The Wall and also Gettysburg cemetery both got to me back when I was in my late 20's. I don't think I could go to either one now.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
Thinking 4th grade when a kid and my cousin decided to beat on me on the bus. Came home crying. Dad made it very clear what to do. Next night I told the bus driver they had better leave me alone. He laughed. He also didn't stop the bus when I went off on both of them. My cousin got my lunch box up side his head. His buddy was in the aisle with my foot on his face. Cousin never spoke to me again.
If you have honestly never seen "Saving Private Ryan," that is your loss.
One of the top ten movies ever made, in my humble opinion.
Those who have seen it would agree with me, I would wager.
One of those movies I can/will watch every single time it comes on.
I'd agree with that. That is a very disturbing scene. Especially given the fact, they had let that guy go earlier in the movie, after most were in favor of shooting him. That is really the only scene where I honestly get upset at Opehn. (Sp?) He should have shot his *, coming down the stairs. He redeems himself at the end when he shoots the turd.
Those who have not seen this movie, are missing one of the top ten movies ever made, in my humble opinion.
I would agree with that, as well.
The part that got me, (as you.) Was the miles upon miles of ordinary civilian's showing respect, and the Flag.

Google it or not. (I do not care either way.)
If you are completely ignorant as to what "Saving Private Ryan," is about, I can not help you.
I believe you are being facetious, by the way. (You are a pretty intelligent guy [in general] Mr. Perfect.)

It's about Saving this Private, named Ryan.
You should see it. It is really good. One of the top ten movies ever produced, in my humble opinion.
Do yourself a favor and watch it.
Thank me later.
Imagine what it took to be a Ranger during WW2 (heck, imagine what it takes to be a Ranger today). Then imagine battle hardened Rangers whining and crying about going on a mission (of any kind. And yes, I've heard the adage about if the troops are kvetching, 'things' are AOK). Then stretch your imagination to see those same Rangers disobey a direct order from their commanding officer to the point that the Senior NCO had to pull his side arm and threaten to shoot them!
IMO it doesn't get much better.
In the end, there's a final scene between a WW2 Vet (no spoiler) and his wife. Oddly enough, the wife offers absolutely NO support for her husband when he needs it. (but what does one expect to come out of hollywierd?)
Oh, yeah, it's a real tear jerker.
Thank you for your observations Sir.
(I thought the same thing during the insubordination/refusing to follow an order, scene.)
That movie, is an absolute "Must See." for those who have not.
But they do seem to do very well in politics, especially in Congress.
No Thank You.
A Very Sobering account of what it must have been like. Absolutely Terrifying.
If you can watch that, and not come away moved, there is something wrong with you. (The same can be said for the final scene at the Graveyard, with the Family.
Heart wrenching. Tears me up.
"The Fighting Sullivan's" about 5 brothers all killed together on the same ship during the war. The impact of this tragedy changed the rules about family members serving together in combat situations.

Spoiler...
To really understand that ending, you have to go back to when Tom Hanks is dying and he whispers some thing in the ear of Ryan.
Which we don't hear.
Tom tells Ryan to "be a good man", as Tom dies.
That's why the older Ryan asks his wife, tell me I'm a good man".
