eHarmony seems to think it knows the 20 movies that make guys cry. The list includes some obvious ones, like Saving Private Ryan, but I have to admit I was surprised to see Terms of Endearment on the list, which is my all-time make-me-cry movie but not one I ever expected a dude to say he's seen.
Modern guys, please weigh in on the accuracy of this list. I'll go ahead and throw out there that Field of Dreams was omitted. Several of my guy friends have mentioned it as a tear-enducing film. Ladies, maybe you have an idea about the movies that make your beaus water at the eyes.

Apparently the stopping of the clocks scene in "Four Weddings and a Funeral" made my BF tear up. So did "The Ice Storm." And the drowning scene in "The Abyss." But the final scene in "It's A Wonderful Life" did nothing. I'm reconsidering our relationship.
I teared up — but did not cry — in My Girl. For Love of the Game also was pretty moving in parts.
I also cried during Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle, but for different reasons.
Ohhhh ... My Girl was a tearjerker. I'd somehow forgotten about that movie.
Harold & Kumar: tears of joy, right?
Rudy should be number one, no question.
On the Old Yeller topic, I noted at the grocery store this morning that they now sell "Disney's Old Yeller Dog Food."
Tell me if I'm off here, but that struck me as seriously weird.
