Movies that make me cry.

Normally, I don’t get all sappy when I watch movies.  I’m not all that into chick flicks or dramas, I tend to prefer comedies and hokey fare such as The Barbarians (btw, if anyone knows where I can get that one, please let me know), Ice Pirates, Pluto Nash, etc.  But there are a few movies that make me tear up no matter how many times I watch them.  The ones that come to mind immediately are Saving Private Ryan, Gardens of Stone, and Bicentennial Man.  I’m a sucker for war dramas.  I watched Saving Private Ryan again today.  When Private Ryan is standing at Captain Miller’s grave at the end of the movie, talking about how he hopes he lived his life in a way that would make Captain Miller believe he earned the sacrifices made on his behalf, man, that tugs at my heart something fierce.  If each of us lived our lives remembering and honoring those that sacrificed for us, I can’t help but think the world would be a better place than it is right now.
