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.

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.

Sadness stirs my heart when I reflect that Jack's "S'all right, s'all right" may well have been the most loving words anyone had ever said to Ennis up to that point.

I think I started tearing up at the lasso scene. But when Jack said "I might be back" and gave Ennis that hopeful look and Ennis shot him down thats when it realy started. The Jack driving away and looking at Ennis in the mirror and Ennis collapsing in the alley. Well, it didn't much stop after that.
