The really amazing thing is that the director basically hasn't done shit else in his career.

I have a few very odd movies.
Only movie I cried a bit during it as a kid was Ernest Scared Stupid when Rimshot his dog is turned to wood and he has him on his dashboard trying to drive back and save him and he is balling his eyes out. I misted up quite a bit.
More recently the following movies have made me tear up a bit and all for odd reasons.
Spider-Man 2 when Spidey loses his mask on the Subway and he is just beat down and the people hand him his mask back. It got to me.
Which brings me to Batman: The Dark Knight at the end when he is taking the brunt of the peoples rage and running because he can take it.
Lastly was Battle: Los Angeles, this one has a bit of story to it. The main character was a Marine at Camp Pendleton and a SSgt and was getting out of the Marines. At the same time I was a Marine at Camp Pendleton and a SSgt and was getting out of the Marines. He goes through all that hell and puts in everything he has and then at the end he tells the officer that he already had breakfast as he's loading up to go back out again and all his Marines follow suit. Man oh man, I had to hide in the theater and make sure everyone else was gone before I left with my sunglasses on. The motorcycle was in the shop so the wife picked me up at the theater and was shocked to see actual tear tracks down my cheeks.
I haven't cried at any other occasion other than the death of my daughter (very little there just was too much shock) and the death of my dad a year ago and that was for a few days.
Like I said, some odd things to cry during.

I am an easy target and cry at movies too often to make a list (though I should try and be scientific about it, because some things make me all teary eyed when barely intended to be sad and some obvious tear-pulling moments have little to no effect... meh). I'll list the latest time I got really gripped almost instantly and turned into a fountain: I was at a film festival where one of the screen was devoted every day from early morning to late in the night to Mark Cousins' 15 hours long documentary on film history called The Story of Film: An Odyssey. I had a gap between two movies so I hopped in at about the start of Episode 10 (1969-1979: Radical Directors in the 70s - Make State of the Nation Movies). Basically the guy reads his book over clips from different movies and he showed clips from a 1971 japanese documentary titled 'Minamata: The Victims and Their World'. No more explanation needed, the clip from Cousins' documentary is on youTube (and I cried again):
We Were Soldiers Once, dudes leaving their families in the early morning for formation to deploy, and the whole "Sgt MacKenzie " song scene.
Gods and Generals, scene at Fredericksburg with the Irish killing the Irish.
Ken Burn's Civil War, Sullivan Ballou's letter.

Laugh at me all you want, but the only time I ever cried in a theatre was when Spock died in Wrath of Khan. I think my old man cried like a bitch when no one was looking during that, too. That whole drawn out scene in the engineering was a gut wrencher for any die hard star trek fan. Big Fish did it to me later in life.

How fortuitous we bring up nerd shit. I straight up sob like a bitch when Aragorn says, "My friends, you bow to no one." and the ENTIRETY of Minas fucking Tirith goes to their knees before these little hobbits. I'm a grown-ass man (theoretically) and that scene always gets me.
It was a long ass time ago, but I remember feeling kind of weepy in Stir of Echoes when the two dudes assault the Samantha.

cinderella man (out of joy) when he won against all odds (after buildup).
somewhere in pianist when german officer tells MC to remember him or something. The whole movie was raw.
