    My husband turned into a blubbering fool during Marley & Me..

    "It reminds me of Dusty...**sobs** he was such a good dog"

    I felt bad giggling but it was just a bit unexpected.


    HAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!!! A previous boyfriend of mine cried during "Click" I hated the movie, but watched it because he was so into it. When he started crying, I couldn't help but start laughing and I felt sooooooooo bad. I had never seen him cry before, and it came out of nowhere! Awww. I still feel horrible!

    Yea what is up with men and Marley and Me? He definitely got 'misty' eyed and we don't even own animals, never will!!

    My Sister's Keeper is a lame movie (better book + you HAVE to read the real ending!!!) but if you want to sit and cry, cry, cry its a good one for that.

    After that book, I threw myself across the bed and cried for almost 15 minutes. haha. It's so sad, and such a good book!

    I hated the movie marley and me, yet still got teary eyed at the end. I realize this makes no sense but it's what happened. Mabey there's some subliminal thing going on, but that movie does seem to affect men in an odd way, lol. The Thin Red Line is a movie that got me at a few points. "City of God" is probably the best, saddest, most disturbing movie I've ever seen. I reccomend it highly, but it's not for the faint of heart.

  • I tend to cry or get choked up watching Miracle. I am a huge hockey fan, and the United States really had no chance against the Soviets, let alone with a bunch of college kids.

    Hachi a Dog's Tate with Richard Gere - OMG! So glad I was not out in public when I saw this. It's not about a dying dog (Marley & Me) - It's different.

    Taking Chance with Kevin Bacon - very moving.

    I am not a guy either but the topic looked intresting. Taking Chance was a boxful of tissues. I know my husband was holding back tears also. We are both retired Military and that one just makes you think.

    My father cried in the movie Beaches.
  • Philadelphia! With Tom Hanks and Denzel Washington....there was a man in the theater sitting behind my bestie and me with an entire box of tissues. We guessed he had seen it once before and wanted to be prepared this time. We turned around and asked him for some!

    Hubby cried over The Notebook.

    not the whole movie, but in Blow, the part where George prepares his final words to his dad:

    George: Hello Dad. You know I remember a lifetime ago, when I was about 3 1/2 feet tall, weighing all of 60 pounds, but every inch your son. I remember those Saturday mornings going to work with my dad, we'd climb into that big green truck. I thought that truck... was the biggest truck in the universe pop. I remember how important the job we did was, how if it wasn't for us, people would freeze to death. I thought you were the strongest man in the world. And remember those home videos when mom would dress up like Loretta Young, barbeques and football games, ice cream, playing with the Tuna. And when I left for California only to come home with the FBI chasing me, and that FBI agent Trout had to kneel down to put my boots on and you said, "That's where you belong you son of a *****, puttin on Georgie's boots." That was a good one pop, you remember that. And remember that time when you told me that money wasn't real. Well old man, I'm 42 years old, and I finally realize what you were trying to tell me, so many years ago. I finally understand. Your the best, pop, just wish I could have done more for you, wish we had more time. Anyway, may the wind always be at your back, and the sun always upon your face, and may the wings of destiny carry you aloft to dance with the stars. I love you Dad. Love George.

    always gets me, lol

    That's a good one. The very end of the movie when he's grown old and his daughter visits him in prison and he gets to reconcile with her. And then it turns out he's just imagining it and she never visited him ever. Ouch!

    Also, Saving Private Ryan and The Green Mile. Rough movies.

    See lots of mentioning Marley and Me.....hubby is this big farmer. He was delivering hay to a lobsterman one day, who also has labs and makes my husband look small. Asked my husband "Have you ever watched Marley and Me?" and Hubby said no......Then he says "Dont do it dude. I cried like a baby".........so, I may never see this movie as it has been declared banned from this house.....lol

    Ok I asked my husband he said : THE NOTEBOOK!!!!

    I have never seen the notebook..... maybe I should see it lol

    This is exactly me! He openly admitted to crying to The Notebook, but I haven't seen it yet...

    I balled my eyes out at Marley & Me, especially after the bf told me it was just diesel fuel... yeah he's good like that...and during the credits (after blowing my nose and catching my breath) I told him that I wanted a dog. He asked me if I was crazy...

    Transformers when I thought Optimus died. Crushed
  • We have never seen Marley and me. My husband ALWAYS cries when he watches field of dreams, any military/war movies get him pretty teared up too. He refuses to watch the notebook. Both times I watched that movie I sobbed! I have yet to cry so hard as I did for tug notebook
