If you make them cry, they will come. To the video stores, that is. The harrowing and uplifting true tale of Navy diver Carl Brashear (Cuba Gooding Jr., right, with Robert De Niro), Men of Honor blazed with just enough chutzpah and gumption to surface at No. 1. On the other hand, Hollywood's hottest on-again, off-again pair, Gwyneth Paltrow and Ben Affleck (a.k.a. Benneth), may have plenty of marquee value, but their romantic Bounce only bounced high enough to settle at No. 5.
