Twenty Films That Make Men Cry

Postby InkMan » Wed Aug 04, 2010 10:31 pm

I'm having difficultly posting links to this topic (or to be honest I'm not sure how to post links) so apologies.

Anyhooz I was with my beautiful pet cat as she was euthanised/put to sleep last Friday evening after eleven great years and sadly a short, though thankfully brief, illness.

Then on Monday night, in my job as a support worker with children and young adults who have special needs/additional support requirements, I went to see Toy Story 3.

Had to sit in the cinema with the young guy I was with for about five minutes after the credits. Without going into detail about the plot I was holding it together, albeit less than stoically, until the final scenes between Andy and Woody.

Thank fuck I had my sunglasses although given that it was a miserable evening in Clydebank I don't think it fooled anyone - particularly when I was inside!

Now I had good reason to there but what I can't explain is why the same happened recently when I watched the end of the first Nanny McPhee DVD! Yes Nanny fucking McFuckingPhee.

Running the risk of being the only guy in here to display his emotions and thus being permanently excluded for 'letting the side down' I am compelled to ask - both Ladies and Gentlemen - of this very fine establishment what cinematic efforts makes you bubble?

So far? Erm...it's usually music that makes me bubble. Not all of it, obviously.

Hi Inkman, I tend not to cry at movies, I admit to the old lump in the throat sort of thing, Dances with Wolves made me sad. What does affect me espescially the older I become, is the sad news of the fine young men and women of this generation being killed in illegal conflicts and the Wooten Basset T.V. show. Also when the news reports some poor soul going mad and killing their family and themselves, or little children being killed, I change channel. That does make me want to weep.

Project X with Matthew Broderick and some monkeys.

I still get pelters for that.

Johnboy .. tell him nothing .. The Hungry Joe and Groover are both instrumental cogs in the machinery of my downfall.

PS. And I found the wasabi very mild remember? Extra points I think. You'll have to watch slips like that over here .. weaknesses in accuracy and poor grammar are pounced upon with an almost evolutionary callousness in this microverse .. it's a baptism of fire - not like over the road. :wink:

I've had the lump in the throat and the blinky eyes, but usually that's it. When I had depression last year, I cried at everything.

I was bawling like a girl at the end of Toy Story 3 last week, but I think that was because my wee girl aged 5 was crying her eyes out as well.

I have no ready excuses for the waterworks every time I watch The Ghost and Mrs Muir, however.

Toy Story 3 got me on the blub twice.

I am well known for blubbing at the end of a lot of Star Trek films too. The last one had me drenched ! ! ! ! :mrgreen:
