CALLING ALL MEN......

And women can participate too :-)

Recently i've been reminded about films and/or songs which tend to make people emotional. I know that ladies, in general, are not ashamed to say "Oh I cried to *insert film here* so badly...." yet men are a bit more reserved.

But now, I ask you. Which films or songs have made you lose some man-points? (or gain, depending on your perspective)

For me, it would have to be Marley & Me. Seen the film twice, cried twice. Read the book once, had to stop reading it as I was getting too damn attached and, again, was bawling me eyes out. o.O

As for music/animations. There are two of them. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBk3ynRbtsw That's one of them. Thought of you by Ryan Woodward, and the second being http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ZJDNSp1QJA .... No tears for both of them, but felt really emotional afterwards.

    Yes, Fantastic cover, and a lot more feeling in it than the original too.
    (in regards to Johnny Cash - Hurt) *edit*

    Without a doubt.

    I'm not ashamed to admit I bawl my eyes out every time I watch 8 Seconds, Flywheel, Facing the Giants, Fireproof, Courageous, Where the Red Fern Grows, Ol Yeller, and *sigh*, even The Notebook got a tear out of me.

    I normally don't cry during songs or movies... but I might have possibly teared up during Letters from Iwo Jima.

    Edit: Almost forgot Schindler's List. That one got me as well.

    Completely agree with this. I weep during this scene every time.

    Those commercials are vicious. Especially with Angel by Sarah McClaughlin playing in the background.

    I sob like an idiot when I watch The Notebook. I also cried during Transformers 2 and 3. And Lord of the Rings: Return of the King.

    One song that makes me cry no mater what is "Old City Bar" by Trans Siberian Orchestra.

    Wow, a Where the Red Fern Grows mention. I haven't read that book since middle school, but oh how I loved it. And yes, I cried like a baby. Yeah, I'm a girl, but I was told girls could participate in this :)

    The last episode of Six Feet Under. It brought up a lot of personal stuff for me. I cried like a teenage girl who lost her cellphone.

    Oh man, I've balled at so many movies and tv shows.

    Doctor Who gets me the most... the poor doctor is so lonely. :sad:

    The opening of "UP" had me crying like a baby.

    Band of Brothers... yep tears every time.

    The Fountain... I actually cried at that one because it was so romantic... how's that for losing man-points??? :noway:

    Goodwill Hunting, Mr Holland's Opus, Dead Poet's Society, Braveheart, Gladiator, where Will Smith had to kill his dog in I Am Legend... yep I am also a massive wuss.

    Songs don't usually get me... but this one did, the other day, at WORK. Bad too... like full on sobs. It's quite embarrassing to bump into a co worker when your eyes are bright red and swollen. :ohwell:
    (bloody great song by the way!)

    Definitely Marley and Me. Screw films that kill the dog!

    That movie was depressing.

    I also cried during Jack & Jill, but for different reasons.

    The first time I saw this scene in Toy Story II. OK, every time.
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GPBqrkXviRw&feature=related :sad:

    The road trip scene from the movie "Elizabethtown."
    That movie should be required viewing for men.

    A couple of songs by Patty Griffin carve holes in my heart.
