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.

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.0 -

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.0 -

Those commercials are vicious. Especially with Angel by Sarah McClaughlin playing in the background.0 -
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.0 -
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 this0

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.0

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.0
