Varsity blues was a interesting choice, I identified more with Friday Nights Lights ( the TV version) I grew up in city that had 1 HS for years and Football was everything. And I was 1 of maybe 7 blacks on the whole team and most of us played major roles. I too went through the same feelings, of being cheered on the field and left on the outside after the games.
Varsity Blues is interesting. I felt elated, not when the won the game, but when they kicked coach Kilmer's ass in the locker room. I don't know how any kid/person grows up and survives Texas High School Football without needing serious therapy and drugs. That kind of warped pressure kills grown men and these kids start playing at 5 and 6?!!!?
As for "need you on Friday, ignore you on Saturday", yeah, It does suck to know you can lead some folks kids to victory on the field but you not good enough to eat at their house. Sigh...

I've never seen the movie but I can tell you this: High School football down here is very serious business, and yes, sometimes deadly. There was a high school football coach in the D/FW area who was shot by an angry and deranged parent because of something the coach did on the field (I think it was because he benched the shooter's son). The coach almost died; the parent was charged with attempted murder, but you can see what I'm talking about.
And I'm not even going to mention how much of my property taxes go to the HS sports programs.

My guilty pleasure of a tear-jerker is Armageddon. Yes, I know that my "sympathetic response" was one that was carefully orchestrated by all involved with the movie, but, dammit, it worked. When the colonel says to Harry's daughter; "I would like to shake the hand of the daughter of the bravest man I ever met" it's definitely choke-up time. The scene where he flashes back to raising his daughter (right before pushing the button), the one where he says goodbye to his daughter from the meteor's surface, and when he takes his future son-in-law's place on the suicide detail all awaken my inner little girl.
Bruce Willis may not be the best actor in the world, but he's got the stoic hero thing down pat.

Wait a minute PS, you might be going little bit too fast!
The first half of movie was shown thru the eyes of a person that was schizophrenia. It showed how a paranoid person see his or her world. Although scientifically it might have not been accurate, but it was a glance at world of hallucinations.
Then as movie progressed to reality, the audience felt what main character was going thru and how he dealt with imagination and reality. And I thought Ron did a good job connecting both worlds.
Oh I get it. I got the film. I understand what the angle was, but my problem is: don't make me care for a character for nearly the entire film, then switch the entire thing around as if the entire thing was a big dream, and then use sweeping orchestral music to try and heighten the mood to a sappy ending that comes outta nowhere. Boooo.

That reminds me, I find the scene in Deep Impact when the members of the space mission are saying goodbye to their families quite moving. Especially when the guy that got blinded's family comes rushing in at the last minute.

Tears
Bridge to Terabithia - When the little girl walked across the bridge at the end of the movie.

Movies that made me tear with laughter, I suppose that could be called tears of Joy.
Me, Myself and Irene- The part where he says kick me, and she kicks him in the jaw. And he goes flying over the hand rail and does a couple of flips going down the hill.
Hear No Evil, See No Evil.- First time seeing this I was rolling on the floor with laughter.
As for tears of Joy I can only think of Walking Tall, the first movie. Where he goes and cleans out the casino after having been pushed to the limit. The remake followed pretty much the same story line only this time he used a 4x4" post.
Oh and Rambo II when he makes it back to camp with p.o.w.'s.

Okay, I can align with this.
AIRPLANE! You pick a scene... I was on the floor laughing, with tears gushing!

Thanks guys for movie suggestions and showing your soft spot http://forums.torrentspy.com/images/...2308364851.gif
As it evident from your posts, that there is a thin line between having tears from sadness, joy or laughter.
