Manly Men can cry at Movies

[ACamp1900]

I get a little misty-eyed at the end of Major League, partly because a championship is something I've never seen before and partly because a championship is something I may never see in the future.

Not gonna lie... for as goofy as Angels in the Outfield is... the prayer scene where he prays for the Angels to win 'just a little' so his dad will love him... geez...

and of course the life long Halo fan in me loves watching them win at the end.

Of course, as a baseball fan, Major Leauge is just classic.

This thread has produced a great dichotomy of relating to real tearjerkers as well as mock "getting in touch with your feminine side." This reminds me of the scene in Sleepless in Seattle, where Tom Hanks real wife Rita Wilson is discussing how An Affair to Remember is the tearjerker of them all! and Tom Hanks and his brother in law go into a mock tear fest over how Jim Brown, I think his character is named Jefferson gets killed toward the end of The Dirty Dozen.
A great war movie in my opinion.

When my wife and I were still newly dating, we sat down to watch My Dog Skip. That freakin' movie made us both cry so damn hard. Not gonna lie. If you had a dog that you left behind when you went away to college, it will hit you hard.

I saw 12 Years a Slave about a month ago, and I hadn't cried so much from a movie in years. Really touching ending.

Longshot here: but does anyone remember the PBS movie called "The Cap?" It had Michael Ironsides as an asshole father who sells his kid's Expos hat that Andre Dawson gave him. Remember seeing it when I was really young and it made me so sad.

Another one was "Emmett Otter's Jugband Christmas."

 

[ACamp1900]

Honestly, I cry at a hell of a lot of movies... if it is a sports movie, or a guy flick with 'that moment' (like Braveheart or Saving Private Ryan) the odds are i cried at it.

 

[ickythump1225]

Rudy and Remember the Titans for sure. Also Braveheart and "Turner and Hooch."

Homeward Bound, the scene at the end when the old dog limps up the hill. Probably a really stupid scene since it's a movie with talking animals, but I remember my father shedding some tears when he took us to see that movie when we were little. I think it hit closer to home for me years later as I had a dog just like that and the boy that was his owner was a lot like me at a younger age.

Forgot about Homeward Bound. When Shadow limped home I lost it.

This is the most emo thread in IE history.

I can't think of the name of the movie but the only time I ever remember seeing my father crying was the movie with Denzel Washington and his son needs a heart transplant in order to survive. His son has some rare blood type or something and they are frantically searching for a donor but in the end Denzel Washington's character ends up giving his son his heart.

No offense to your dad, but I hate that movie lol.

 

[NDALA]

Four Brothers-When Jack gets killed
Man On Fire-Denzel tells Pita he loves her with all his heart

Those are pretty tough for me.

Yeah it is a pretty terrible movie but I guess it just struck a nerve with him haha. He gets shit for it every time we have a family get together.

I don't think Denzel ends up giving his son his heart. He is about to and the movie keeps cutting back and forth to create suspense, but in the end an individual gets in a car accident that has a blood type that matches his sons. That is what I remember anyway.

I don't really cry during movies, but there are some movies that get me choked up. Mostly movies that are about some type of combat. Being a veteran myself those hit close to home. Luckily I have a buddy that I served with that I have been friends with since childhood, and we go see those types of movies together for a different reason than most do.

Man, thats a song that can occasionally squeeze a tear out of me. For the first 6 years of my life my old man worked two jobs or more, then he switched to a sales job that kept him on the road Mon-Fri each and every week, or sometimes he'd be gone for a few weeks straight. He did what he knew to pay the bills, and he rarely got to enjoy the fruits of that labor since he was always on the road. When he was home he was pretty stressed, so us kids tried to stay out of his hair.

These days he's still in sales, but he works mostly from home and is rarely on the road, and yet now I have my own kids which keep me busy. Still, I'm 32 now, and my father and I finally have some kind of relationship and I'm thankful for that. We bring the grand kids once a month or so to visit when we can, but it makes me hope I'm never put in the position my father was with my own kids. My daughter is already 3 1/2 and it's hard to believe she wasn't just born.

Not only is Cinderella Man my favorite movie it honest to god changed my life, the one scene that gets me every time is when Braddock ( russel crowe ) is begging for money at the boxing commission office. If you want to understand how good of an actor Crowe is simply watch that scene

Yeah, the scene gets me pretty good.

 

[rikkitikki08]

The end of Black Hawk Down can do a pretty good number on me as well

 

[phork]

Having two daughters, Father of the Bride makes me lose it when Steve Martin shoots baskets with his daughter the night before she gets married, and Rudy when he opens his acceptance letter.

+1 for Father of the Bride. Even before I had kids, no clue why back then. The part where it gets me is he thinks he has missed her going on her honeymoon and then she calls just to talk to him.

Waiting to Exhale… when Angela Bassett finally exhales……

Great movie. Tragically unappreciated.

 

[Irish2155]

Old Yeller and Private Ryan for sure.

Kind of surprised nobody has listed Titanic yet unless I overlooked it.

The part where Leo drowns? I was cheering.

Ha, LOL.

I was too upset when that happened...Rose talking about, "I'll never let go..." and in the next moment she's dropping Jack to the bottom of the ocean...I think my feelings of that scene can be described by a quote from Ice Cube, "These hoes ain't got no manners!"

Proof That Jack And Rose Could Have Fitted On That 'Titanic' Plank Of Wood Pretty Easily (PICTURE)

Could have fitted??? lol...

Also, I love your quote on the day of my new avatar unveiling....

 

[Pops Freshenmeyer]

Whoa. Mind blown. That scene is always so tough to watch.

Paths of Glory (1957 Stanley Kubrick) is the most recent movie I've cried during. The last scene, holy mackerel...

Oh man, great call. And great movie.

Excepting the above (which hadn't crossed my mind until reading it now), I never cried at movies. Since my daughter was born I've totally turned soft

The other day I was getting misty-eyed at a father & daughter scene in The Croods. That's rock bottom, folks.

My List of Cry Movies (that I can remember at this time:

The Green Mile: For obvious reasons
Homeward Bound
The Sixth Man: When Marlon Wayans finds out his brother died and is trying to leave the locker room
Fruitvale Station: Obviously when Oscar Grant got shot
End of Watch: Yup, no brainer
Best Man Holiday: Funeral scene got to me

Definitely am going to have to check out the lone survivor. Tried to get a few of my friends to roll with me when it first came out but they didn't want to.
