Forgot all about that. That scene made me wish he died a slow horrible death. He got off easy with a simple shotgun blast to the face.
And the ending of Rambo: First Blood was quite tragic.
For me, the teary parts of FOTR: ROTK are:
-
just before the Rohirrim charge down Pelannor Fields. It’s such a deliberate step into a fight. They’re not being attacked at home; they’ve ridden for days to fight for the greater good of the continent, and are making a considered decision to ride into an army that greatly outnumbers them.
-
The very brief shot of Aaragorn’s army fighting in a circle outside the Black Gate. The edges of its circle are beginning to bleed into the attacking troops as the fighting starts. It’s such a strong decision to take on this outnumbered fight in the small hope that it can be the final throw of the whole war.
I, too, cried my eyes out at the end of Matrix Revolutions – out of bitter disappointment. 
You’ve obviously never seen the ending of the Futurama episode “Luck of the Fryrish”.
“Saddest” is spelled with two d’s.
“Sadest” looks more like it’d be pronounced “Sadist.” And heaven knows, Man-movies have a lot of sadist moments.
Conan is filled with sad moments - Valeria’s death. The destruction of Conan’s village and his mom getting her head cut off by Thulsa Doom. And Conan deals with his feelings in the only appropriate way - REVENGE!
Rawhide’s death in Buckaroo Banzai.
“What are y’all standin’ around for? You’re on the clock - saddle up!”
Animated movies, no matter the subject, are not Man movies. And sorry, neither are science fiction/fantasy. Apollo 11 is a man’s movie, but Star Wars/Trek will never be. Man movies are not make-believe.
Man movies are about war, sports, dogs, horses, and buddies. No others need apply.
Galipoli is a good one. Running, war, and buddies. Not a lot of horses or dogs, though.
Lamar Mundane,
So…Blade Runner not a man movie?
Total Recall not a man movie?
Xmen and X2 not man movies? (boy movies maybe?)
Vampire Hunter D:Bloodlust (double strike make believe and animated) not a man movie?
Crying Freeman the most manly man movie I’ve ever seen (animated) not a man moive?
Conan? not a man movie.
The Beast Master (fantasy) not a man movie?
Spawn the animated series has a priest fragging people with grenades Not a man movie?
Predator (sci fi) not a man movie?
Aliens? (sci fi) not a man movie?
Terminator 1,2,3 (sci fi) not a man movie?
If you say so.
Yeah, pretty much. Its the make-believe part that disqualifies them. Hey, I loved the Alien series, but the hero (heroine) was a girl! Not a man movie!
Or the end of Jurassic Bark sob
Spartacus
When he’s being crucified and Varinia walks toward him:
“This is your son. He’s free!”
Sorry, but I gotta call B.S. on the sci-fi/fantasy exception. Sci-fi is the nerdiest of all art forms, and nearly all nerds are guys. (And how can you say Alien is not a guy movie because the lead is a female? Are you gay or something??)
What about comedies? I’d nominate Mrs. Doubtfire, when Robin Williams is told he can no longer see his kids without a social worker present: “Whenever I hug them, she wonders WHY. Do you have any idea what that feels like??”
Or Empire of the Sun (war movie, so it counts) when the Japanese invade Shanghai and Jamie loses his parents in the crowd, and again when WWII ends and he no longer recognizes them.
Or Terms of Endearment, when…oh wait, that is so not a guy movie. Never mind. 
sigh … another naive soul who has never seen Akira.
Which movie, pray tell, is Apollo 11 ?
(Or did you mean Apollo 13, mister know-it-all?)
tracer
Darned you typed faster than I did.
Apollo 11 was a TV movie made in 1996 - are they referring to that ciematic epic??
Really you could not be more wrong. All movies are Make believe.
What about Crying Freeman? He’s an assassin that kills 1,000 people. Has tons of hot sex. The people who are trying to kill him? A hot girl and a police chief. They have tons of sex. Mobsters, guns, death and sex.
But it’s animated. rolls eyes
Total Recall? Death, sex, and Sharon Stone.
The Crow? Death, Death, rape, Death and death. With swords thrown in for fun.
Terminator…oh wait the first two had a female lead. I guess they dont’ count at ALL.
Predator? Army men, Death, camp assault, death death death, Big monster, death death death. Big explosion. It’s far more of an action movie then Sci/Fi. It’s not like they got into political talks with the Predator and asked him his feelings.
If something is getting killed and/or blown up, it’s a man-movie.
Excellent. The very list doesn’t say jacksquat about the setting (past, future, imaginary world, urban, rural) in which those wars/sports/animal/buddies happen, nor the stylistic idiom (SF, fantasy, comedy, thriller, action) with which the screenwriter tells their story.
And anyway, if you do make a (“real world”) war movie but do so in a totally mythical manner or bringing in a heavy load of surrealism, does it become emasculated?
Oh, OP response: The end of In Her Majesty’s Secret Service.
Damn, Lamar, it must suck to live in your little world
Boy, you guys are easily offended. No wonder you don’t get what man movies are all about. 
Are you 12 or something?
