i'm not a very sensitive guy, but there is one movie scene that always gets me weepy
in smokey and the bandit when burt reynolds is being chased and he happens upon a convoy and they let him hide in a sweet spot between trucks . . .

1. I wonder what it would be like for a truck driver to go to prison
And suddenly find that phrases like "i got your back door good buddy" suddenly have a far less pleasant connotation than they did out on the open road.

"I'll breaker breaker your ASS, Fish!"

2. I'm feelin' ya, datasuspect. For me, it's that pivotal moment in
"The Big Lebowski" when Walter first says to Donny, "Shut the f*uck up, Donny." Makes me weep every damn time. :cry:

3. I'm a pretty stoic guy myself
but the part in Blazing Saddles where the cowboys are all sitting around the campfire after sharing a hearty meal. I can't help but get misty-eyed at the male bonding.

4. This scene from "Blue Velvet"
Frank Booth: What kind of beer do you like to drink, neighbor?

Jeffrey Beaumont: Heineken.

Frank Booth: Heineken? Fuck that shit! Pabst Blue Ribbon!

6. I agree. He's just trying to help Jeffrey make the right choices in life.
Always gets me weepy.

8. The scene at the end of "Breakfast at Tiffany's"
When Holly Golightly (Audrey Hepburn) and Paul (George Peppard) find the cat in the alley as "Moon River" is heard. That scene gets me every time I see it.
