Catherine Ballou (Jane Fonda) is a schoolteacher until a hired thug kills her daddy. To protect what she loves, she collects two petty criminals, a wisecracking hired hand, and a hired killer, Kid Shelleen (Lee Marvin). Unfortunately, Shelleen is a raging drunk who is so inebriated and unsteady with a gun he literally misses the broad side of a barn.
Watching Cat Ballou has become a solitary vice, accompanied by a few tissues.

Not the same film but my grandad , who died six months ago aged 85 used to sing to me " I was born under a wandering star" from Paint Your Wagon when i was 5 years old . That was sung by lee Marvin. if i heard it now god knows how i would react.
Can't comment on this being of the controlled by hormones gender but will watch Silent Running. Never heard of it before. How anyone can not cry at the Champ I'll never know.

I remember watching Jane Fonda in Barbarella, used nearly a full box of tissues that day...
Its a true story of the 1970 plane crash which killed nearly the whole football team including the coaches and players, only about 3 people from the team survived as they not on the plane.
The film tells the story of how the town tries to overcome the disaster and the building of a new team including coaches. Marshall university had to get special dispensation from the NCAA to field college freshman to play on their team (freshman were not allowed to play in their 1st yr of college). They basically win 2 games all season, but most importantly their 1st home game.
Its gets me everytime they win their 1st home game.
It stars matthew mcconaughey and the bloke jack from lost.
I have to confess to being a bit of a cry baby at films. As well as many already listed (including Toy Story 3) I still can't watch ET without needing to wipe my eyes.
I am as soft as shite when it comes to weepy movies, I cry at all of them. Goodbye Mr. Chips and Silent Running two absolute classics, and for me the one that stands out is The Railway Children, Jenny Aggutter at the end... "Daddy... my Daddy..." . I'm bloody welling up now just thinking about it. Wuss.
The Metro had a piece on this yesterday. They had a list too.
1. Lord of the Rings: Return of the King
2. Shawshank Redemption
3. Up
4. One flew over the cuckoo's nest
5. Marley and me
6. The Champ
7. The notebook
8. Babe
9. Field of dreams
10. Chariots of fire
11. The railway children
12. Steam of life
13. The night before christmas (Tom and Jerry)
14. Man on fire
15. Life is beautiful
16. Bridge to Terabithia
17. The Italian job
18. Rocky
19. My life as a dog
20. Truly, madly, deeply
Of those, I've only seen Shawshank Redemption and Life is Beautiful. I didn't cry for either, but I want to watch Life is Beautiful again - don't think it went in the first time.
They also mention Dumbo, Watership down, Star Trek II, Old Yeller, and Little Women. I haven't seen any of these films so can't comment.

And the reunion in The Colour Purple leaves a lump in my throat the size of Oprah Winfrey's arse...
Not possible unless you have a throat the size of Dartford tunnel
That one certainly made my eyes water!
Jane Fonda, Lee Marvin
