I've not seen any of them so none of them have made me cry :wah:
Now if you'd mentioned "The day they gave babies away" or "They shoot horses, don't they?" then I'd agree like a shot.

Million Dollar Baby turned me into a weeping pile of mush. The others get a tear from me. Braveheart makes me tear up. I'm a softy though.
Bryan if you haven't seen any of those I'm astonished.
Oh, Rudy, I hate the movie.

Not one of those in the first post made me want to do anything other than leave the cinema with the single exception of To Kill a Mockingbird on the grounds that I liked Gregory Peck's acting. Just. Marginally.
It's not that I never react to a film. I even reacted to the same one three times which must show something. In 1937 the exact same plot was made into two films, Pepe le Moko (with Jean Gabin, Mireille Balin, Lucas Gridoux) and Algiers (with Charles Boyer, Hedy Lamarr and Joseph Calleia in the same parts) and stolen a few years later as the basis for Casablanca (as Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman and Claude Rains). I think I preferred Charles Boyer over Bogart, and Joseph Calleia was amazing, so perhaps Algiers wins.
You want an entire 20 which all work emotionally? Okay...
The Ox-Bow Incident
Freaks
Citizen Kane
The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp
King Kong
The Shooting Party
Ivan Grozny
La Regle du jeu
The Hunchback of Notre Dame
Queen Christina
Captains Courageous
Wuthering Heights
The Four Feathers
La Grande illusion
Aleksandr Nevskiy
Huis clos
A Matter of Life and Death
The Entertainer
I'd hate to have to single out a single one of those, they're all perfect.

Attention span of a gnat - I couldn't go to the cinema and watch a film and don't rent videos so it's only those I see on the box which is rarely.

That involves having the lights very low, you know. And possibly popcorn.

The Hunchback of Notre Dame has Felix Aylmer and Charles Laughton and doesn't involve cartoons or Disney. I just thought I'd make quite sure about that one, it makes a big difference. Oh, and the King Kong has to have Fay Wray and Wuthering Heights has to have David Niven and Olivier.

When I first saw this film about 25 years ago, I welled up when the British executed Mel Gibson.
Now, watching Mel taking a volley of lead would give me a sadistic thrill. (Mel, that is...not the character. Not sure if the film would have the same effect on me now that Mel has spouted off a few years ago.)
