I cried during Good Will Hunting, and would like to know if this meets manly men standards or not. ---

I always cry when George is in the cemetery looking at his brother’s headstone in **It’s A Wonderful Life**. I have a feeling that makes me unmanly but so be it. Other than that, I’d have to agree with **Old Yeller**. ---

**Iron Giant** Superman! Also, I was going to make fun of crying at **Finding Nemo** but I just realized I did get a bit choked up and hugged my son extra hard before we got back to the car after that one. ---

Dear God!!! I cried at the “That’ll do, pig. That’ll do.” I _love_ that line. Of course, I’m a chick. **Ich Bin’s** , I say we should run off into the sunset together and cry over the little pig. Whaddya say??? ---

I cried when Christopher Walken blew his own brains out and Deniro starts sobbing while he holds him screaming his name. I figure if DeNiro can cry, then it is ok for me too. ---
