Films where it's ok for a bloke to cry ?
Was at work talking about the scene in Rocky 1 where Mick tells Rocky to stay down after Creed has felled him in 14th round and is celebrating what he thinks is a stoppage. The way Rocky gets up , Adrienne looking away as she sees him trying to get up, Creed's reaction when Rock is back up and gestures for him to 'come on'......well that scene always gets me and puts tears in my eyes - I'm not afraid to admit !
Are there any other moments in movies where its ok for a bloke to cry ? (apart from 54 minutes into The Crying Game )
Any suggestions ?

The end of Terminator 2 with Arnie going down into the lava with his thumb up and John Connor balling his eyes out... :'(
Gamo will back me up on this one... the anime film 'Grave of the Fireflies' is one of the most emotional films I have ever seen, guaranteed to get you misty eyed too!
You can also throw the Korean movie 'Failan' into the list... the ending to that one was pretty gut wrenching.

Re: Films where it's ok for a bloke to cry ?
Armageddon

Re: Films where it's ok for a bloke to cry ?

Another one that gets me - Rudy
Anyone seen that one, true story about a guy who gets to play for Notre Dame football team for last 10 seconds of one match (cos he isn't very good!)

Re: Films where it's ok for a bloke to cry ?
Rocky 3 when Mick dies in easily the saddest moment in movie history apart for My Girl of course ;D
I also remember secreting liquid when Denise Richards got he babs out in wildthings but that felt different :-\

Re: Films where it's ok for a bloke to cry ?
Theres a film with Denzel, where he tries to get an transplant op for his son who is headed for death but Denzel doesnt have the right insurance for medical cover and cant get a better job for the money outright and so with things almost totally yet agonisingly out of his control, ends up loosing the plot and hi-jacks a hospital at gun-point and demands the treatment for his boy, with a few spanners in the works and the S.W.A.T team stalking his azz, in desperation he then has the idea of offering himself for the body part he's son needs.
Theres a moment i that film that is very, very sad. :'(

Re: Films where it's ok for a bloke to cry ?
I cried during Titanic.
Unfortunately they were tears of rage and frustration at shelling out to watch such mindless formulaic derivative drivel. I knew I wasn't going to get a shag out of it, so I told her I was going to the toliet and fucked right off to the pub.
Never went back and never saw her again.
:P

Re: Films where it's ok for a bloke to cry ?
I cried at the end of T2 (come on... who didn't) when I first saw it...
I cried in a cinema full of people when I was 8-9 when Captain Kirk died in Star Trek: Generations... when Picard buried him it was all a bit too much... :'(
As with the 'man rules' it's OK to cry at any film where a particularly courageous dog dies saving his master/some children from a burning house etc...
My brother cried when Han Solo got frozen (well... actually at the end of the film... we were sure Lando (The Blackest man in the Galaxy.. TM) was going to catch Boba Fett... as soon as the credits rolled he dived behinds the sopha at my gran's house... :D
(I held them back :P)
Last year Mickey dieing actually got me nearly crying... :D honest... 19 fecking years old... :P
A lad from my old school burst out crying at 'order 66' in episode 3... or was that me... I was a bit choked... sentimental... seeing all the Jedis and heroes in star wars I loved getting the fuck kicked out of them... nah... he cried because Anakin killed the 'Younglings' and Obi Wan finds out and is upset... :(
The end of the lord of the rings is a bit of a 'bite your fist' moment... but that's probably just because the end of the last film is so exhaustingly long... :D

Nobody else thought king kong was sad?

When Optimus Prime was killed by Megatron in Transformers - The Movie.

Re: Films where it's ok for a bloke to cry ?
didn't cry but found the end of Blakes 7 quite upsetting as a kid. Watched series for years and then one by one they all get killed at end.
Couldn't believe it !

Re: Films where it's ok for a bloke to cry ?

Re: Films where it's ok for a bloke to cry ?
I don't usually break down that often but Ladder 49's ending was just too much. I still fully maintain that it is not ok to breakdown in a movie theater but if you're in the viewing of your own house who's gonna be the wiser?

Re: Films where it's ok for a bloke to cry ?
I don't cry and I don't get embarassed. Basically, I'm emotionless (except for anger). Medically speaking, one might suggest that I'm psychotic. (no joke) I'll fucking kill you.
