For Manly Men....

scout1222, sounds good to me! Although, as I’m not much of a manly man, I’ll have to find some straps for my sunglasses so they don’t fall off while running. Maybe we should pack some snacks, so, you know, we can make better time. And they’re so expensive at the gas stations, you know? I mean, a little four-pack of fig newtons for what, two bucks? Do you like fig newtons? I’m a fritos man but, boy, are they greasy!

Uh.

pushes glasses back up nose

Sorry.

To further cement my wuss status, I cried at:
Meet Joe Black
Braveheart
Iron Giant
Ol Yeller
Grave of the Fireflies
Deer Hunter
Schindlers List
Yeah, the Johnny Cash video for Hurt
That song in Toy Story 2

I’ve said it in another post, and I’ll say it again. My lowest moment was when I cried at, get ready for it, Lethal Weapon 3. Long story.

42

How about The Shootist? Surely manly men can cry whenever John Wayne dies.

43

You’re so crazy!

:smiley:

44

Gladiator: when the slaves, soldiers and senators step forward to carry Maximus.

45

I’ll add my name to list of those that get choked up at the end of Field of Dreams. And Rudy, too.

46

The manliest man I know cried like a little girl at The Lion King. It’s always okay for guys to cry at father-son movies.

And anybody can cry at Grave of the Fireflies. It’s mandantory.

47

I too get all misty-eyed at Babe, and it took all my willpower not to start openly bawling like a little girly-man at The Iron Giant. Yet strangely enough, Grave of the Fireflies didn’t seem to move me at all.

48

I have to chime in and third (or fourth) this.
**Titanic?!?:eek: :dubious: **

49

I think I have a problem.

um…

The end of Planes, Trains, and Automoblies just about rips my damn heart out.

50

I have to agree with Field of Dreams, and Where the Red Fern Grows. Kind of funny we were talking about Where the Red Fern Grows earlier today at work.

Also if they ever make a movie from it Podkayne of Mars I just finished reading it, and was misty eyed at the end.

51

I’m apparently not very manly at all, ‘cuz I get chocked up in movies all the time. The one that gets me every friggin’ time, though, is Jerry Maguire. Not the big finale, mind you, but the football game.

I must also add, however, TITANIC?!?:dubious: :eek: :rolleyes: I almost stood up and cheered when Leo finally died.

Perhaps I’m not such a big softie after all…

52

Choked. I get choked up.

D’oh.

53

(Don’t let him fool you. He’s a huge softie. He cries at long-distance commercials - not that there’s anything wrong with that.)

54

I cried at Titanic, but at the part where the musicians start to go for the boats and then come back. The “love story” was dorky.

55

“Crying at Titanic” is one of the criteria they use to determine if men qualify for a sex-change operation.

Just thought you should know.

56

The Shootist
And, once more: Titanic?!? :eek: :dubious:

57

Ya I’ll second the end of Gladiator.

58

I’m surprised no one’s mentioned Phenomenon yet.

Of course, that’s not really a manly-man’s movie so much as a people-who-are-gullible-enough-to-believe-that-Uri-Geller-is-for-real movie.

59

Oh – and, does My Life count as manly?

60

Add me to the list; TITANIC?!?:dubious: :eek: :rolleyes:

And Lethal Weapon 3: That better be one hell of a good long story.

I’ll chime in with;

Grave Of The Fireflies - Have to ensure no other men within 100 yards before I watch it)
Scandal - Poor, poor John Hurt
The Elephant Man - As above
Gone In 60 Seconds - What they did to that Mustang ought to be a felony
A.I. - I can’t stand kids but that still gets me
**Friends, Series 7, The One With Chandler And Monica’s Wedding Part I & II and Friends, Series ** - :sirtonyh wander off to garage to play with powertools
