Brad Pitt sometimes "tears up" when he watches films.

The 48-year-old actor normally keeps his composure at the movies, but one film in particular hits his soft spot.

Life as a House, a 2001 drama starring Kevin Kline, never fails to leave Brad touched.

"[I'm] not much of a crier at films, but I'll tear up every now and then," Brad told W magazine. "Kevin Kline is an architect and learns he has terminal cancer. He's estranged from his teenage son and decides they're going to finish this house together. I don't know if it would still hit me the same way, but on my 27th hour of pure wretchedness, this movie just crushed me."

Although Brad was shaken by this narrative, the actor is unruffled when he views his own work. He remains poised while watching himself perish in movies.

"I die really well. It's one of my strong points. I just take a bullet well," Brad explained. "[I don't have trouble watching myself die], I'm just checking the boxes. Hit that. Missed that. Hit that moment. Missed that one. God, I'd like to do that one again."

Brad has been nominated for a Best Actor Golden Globe Award for his work in Moneyball.

The 69th Golden Globe Awards will air this Sunday.
