6. BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN (2005)
Ang Lee's awe-inspiring Western masterpiece follows Ennis Del Mar (Heath Ledger), a tight-mouthed tough guy who falls in love with his fellow cowpoke Jack Twist (Jake Gyllenhaal) but is unable — or, rather, unwilling — to take the relationship past the occasional tryst. Two years since its release, there's no denying that the whole hoopla over Brokeback and its frank sexuality overshadowed a poignant part of its narrative being: proof that cowboys most certainly do cry.

Well, I was well into Kleenex country by this point in the movie! I think this part just kicked it up a notch! :'(

Strangely enough, I was in such denial at the end of the movie. I had not shed a tear. Then when Willie Nelson came on the credits singing "He Was a Friend of Mine." I then opened up the flood gates.. It dawned on me that the end had come, and he was dead. I still tear up when i just talk about it.
dot-matrix:
They had me, the first time, at the tenderness of the second tent scene and then I balled like a baby when they had the last big fight at the lake..that was so painful to watch....and I stayed weepy clean through to the end. I still tear up while Ennis is on the phone with Lureen and the tears are running down my face by the end and I've seen it dozens of times now :'( Kudos to EW for having the insight to put it on the list.
