Any Given Sunday (1999), it's one of my favourite films and I watched it again recently. It's not the kind of film that would really be associated with being a weepie or really making anyone cry but there is one moment in particular that has me welling up slightly, but I'll get to that in a moment. Just to paint the picture for those who aren't familiar with the film it's a movie about an American football team coached by Al Pacino. The beauty is that you don't have to be familiar or a fan of the sport to enjoy it. Pacino is this washed up old-school coach who finds his team on a losing streak, he has to deal with so many factors right through the film. For a start he kind of lives on past glories, finds himself having to deal with team owner Cameron Diaz and her constant meddling as to why the team can't win.
Then he also has to deal with his star player succumbing to injury and being replaced by a young star in the making who quickly lets all his success and fame go to his head. Then there are the players who party hard and enjoy the girls, drugs and alcohol that come with it. Basically, Pacino has a lot on his plate which brings me to the scene in question, Pacino delivers his team talk just before they go out into the biggest game of their lives. Simply put it's such an incredibly powerful scene as Pacino pulls all of his players together and attempts to get them working not for themselves, but for each other.

It just gets me every time, moving but incredibly inspirational.

watership down gets me very teary indeed.
there are just to many sad parts to it.
one being bright eyes being killed.
and also the part where the fields are covered in blood.
also in lord rings fellowship of the ring where boromir is killed by lurtz and then the other fellowship members aragormgimli and legolas send his body out in the boat.

another tear jerker for me is dying young which stars julia roberts as hilary o neill.
Victor Geddes Campbell Scott is a well-educated, rich, and shy 28 year-old. As the film progresses, Victor's health worsens progressively, due to leukemia. Despite his father's protests, Victor hires Hilary to be his live-in caretaker while he undergoes a traumatic course of chemotherapy.
Hillary becomes insecure of her ability to care for Victor after her first exposure to the side effects of his chemotherapy treatment. She studies about leukemia and stocks healthier food in the kitchen.
