Movie scenes that make grown men cry

Now I'm a double hard bastard but this past week I have caught scenes from two classics that always choke me - Field of Dreams and just last night Armageddon. There are only a handful that do so this has probably been the gayest week of my life

So here they are along with a few others where I think its ok for guys to shed a tear - anyone else got any, am sure you have.

in no particular order....

1) Field of Dreams : Costner plays catch with his old man

2) Armageddon : the Brucemeister makes his sacrifice speech, but its afterwards when flying back with the world saved that Michael Clarke Duncan's character looks out window and says " yo Harry, you da man" that gets me

3) Rocky : Round 14 , need I say more "what is keeping him up Bill ?" , "down down stay down". Rocky disobeys Mick's orders and scrambles back up as Adrian comes out of dressing room. He waves a disbelieveing Creed back in

4) Rudy : the end scene where he finally takes the field for the last 10 seconds, then makes that tackle and is carried off by his team mates

5) Backdraft : "look at him - thats my brother goddamnit "

Bambi, and ET. ;D

fucking hell, thats the corniest thing I've heard. Makes me cringe.

I am too hard to cry in any movie accept Toy Story 3. :eek:

Old Yeller as a kid.

As adult, Waterworld. Fucking $11 down the drain. What a piece of shit movie.

I Am Sam (his effort despite of his illness)

Killing Fields (when they both got reunited)

Pursuit Of Happiness is a good one too (the spiderman doll scene with his kid)

Short Circuit (I don't know which part). When they destroyed and took him apart.

LOL yeah coz you still a bit weakened by the guy giving up his life for the other guy, so this one gets ya too...

Number 2 and number 4 on your list are the ones I was going to mention...

I just find in general the girly stuff that girls cry over does nothing for me.... When blokes really give up something or risk it all to save others, that hits you a bit harder coz as a guy you kinda know what it means to do that for someone type thing...

This will probably receive several more cringes, but the Notebook when they both die together in the bed at the end is a bit, you know...

I'm sure there is a few more but I can't think of any right now...

This is a bit off topic of movie but end of Season 5 of Supernatural for me because that has been my favorite show of all time and I have an incredible affinity with the characters and associate myself a lot with the stuff that goes on, and it has a pretty awesome ending... and at the time I thought that was it and i'd never see supernatural again so that got me too....

GAYYYYYYY

Oh got another one....

Saving Private Ryan at the end...

I think also Good Will Hunting, but maybe that is just the character cries... :-\ I know it's an emotional scene though.. when Robin Williams gets through to him..

E.T. always gets me. That's a real heart tugger.

One that is always talked about in this respect but I have never personally seen myself is Brian's Song..? anyone seen that?

Final one I can think of is Jerry Mcguire,,, when the guy gets the touchdown near the end and you think he's hurt but he's all good and they win.... Not all that "you complete me" garbage...

Ok, its not a movie, and I've mentioned it on an old thread, but the Fresh Prince when Will's real dad comes back but then goes again. The scene when Will realises he has gone makes me produce a little wail, like a whale dying.

ahh man, i just watched it again and it made me cry, just a manly tear or two. I must have abandonment issues.

after i wrote this i googled the topic and found that Brian's Song seems to come up top a lot. I tend to think I am quite up on movies but this is one I had never heard of.

May have to check it out when I fancy another gay week ......

yep - teach me for editing a quote !

The last movie that made me cry was Schindlers List. I saw it about ten years ago and the final scene has me all choked up.

Anyone who cries from Armageddon is a fucking pussy.

Oh, I also got a bit teary-eyed watching a documentary about a social worker who councils terminally ill patients and their families at a hospice. Listening to people talk about watching their children die etc.... That was some heavy shit.

Yeah this scene always gets me too. I always well up a bit at the final episode too, it hasn't made me cry, but I've come pretty close.

I remember I felt a twang of old metal then too!

Strange I dont get upset over most of the scenes you guys have mentioned.

I get very emotional listening to Scotland the brave and any movies to do with any kind of Scottish heroism. (strange being born in England). But the Maclannen genes in my family and Templar links from long ago have got me.
Im just about taken back to a time when I was drumming in battle and had all my brothers cut down around me with no hope left, its very vivid I can still play the snare to this song too.

This kills me and lifts me like it happened yesterday... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2hZUZCoMKxA

Old Yeller
The Dirty Dozen
Field of Dreams
Saving Private Ryan

But I haven't cried in a while, I'll just say those are very emotional movies.

Rocky Balboa's speech after he won. I couldn't even understand what he was saying. Something like "wahh-wee-wee-wah-woaohh...!!!" But it was emotional moment.

Speaking of...remember the final scene of Gallipoli ?? Remember that kicked me in the ass when I saw it

'Glory' too. When you think of the battle scenes etc. Both cases they knew they would not come back.

I always get something in my eye at the end of Braveheart when he yells out freedom. ;)

You should read 'Born in Blood' (its about how the Templars became the Freemasons) and it explains what happens to Longshanks' gay son the one whose lover was literally thrown out of the castle. Long story short he wasn't well liked and when things came crashing down around him he ended up with a red hot fire poker up the shitter.

....Well that was a bit off topic but just some side info that I thought you should be privy to.

The end of Deerhunter, where DeNiro says "To Nick" and they all toast him and then Cavatina plays whilst showing all the flashbacks :eek:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Iqe1eYd7ds



And the end of Philadelphia the bit where they show video of him as a kid - Neil Young's voice is haunting!

One of my fav. movies all time...
For those who have struggled in life but no matter the circumstances and no matter how hard life got you lived past it and you got yourself to a better place by working hard and no giving up.

The words that get me bawling like a fool is when the old man tells him he got the job and then he says "Was it as easy as it looked?" awwww fuck! I just about lose it.
Because no one knows the struggles no one knows how hard it was for you to accomplish what you did.

No fucken way surely I thought I was the only one who remembered this episode.
I used to watch Fresh Prince religiously all the time...

Really strong scene and one of the more serious episodes that was done.

I guess you're a big Will Smith fan

:)

I think everybody is. He's great.

forgot to add that all blokes are allowed to cry at around the 61 minute mark of The Crying Game

That is a different type of crying. :)

When Jim Carey realised Eihorn was Finkle :)

I was gonna say The Persuit of Happiness too.

I CANNOT believe that on a boxing foum nobody mentioned the only movie scene that can reduce every single man on this planet to tears, even Chuck Norris....

I give you...The Champ!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FAhrqKqK_cA

Men of Honor: Robert De NIro commands Cuba to walk with that 300lbs Diving suite during the court hearing...

Best of the Best: When the Korean fighter offers himself to replace his fallen brother (Gets me everytime)

Blood of Heroes: The final scene all together...(Hidden Gem)

Willem Dafoe - Platoon

It didn't make me cry. It was just sad part of the movie.

Really lads? We're taking Armageddon seriously now? :confused: :p

If it's any consilation... historically at least, that film is full of shit! ;)

Enough holes to sink the Titanic all over again.
