MANLY TEARS

First time watching this with my dad, we both shed manly tears. Me because the way Shugart goes makes it look so realistic. My father because he went in with the 20,000 Marines during April of '93, and firmly believes the Operation Gothic Serpent was one of the biggest fuck ups in US Military history.

Randy and Gary did not have to go in, they went in anyways knowing full well they may not have back up to save a single Pilot from Somali Militia. They deserved the Medal of Honor.

There are a few series and movies out there that make me cry, but only a few made me cry Manly tears.

I reserve my Manly tears for when no word's can describe the emotions I am feeling accurately enough. Kamina's death was one and one of the few cases of fanfiction when Nyx's innoccence was taken and forced to become a monster and "My Little Dashie".

When Heath Ledger died, I cried. He was a brilliant actor, with a lifetime of potential Star roles.

Meh, he was a fantastic actor in Batman but other than that... meh.
I genuinely have never cried at a film (apart from when I was an iddle kiddie), though I have yet to see Toy Story 3 and apparently that pulls at the heart strings.
The only thing that has brought me close to tears is when they kill John Coffey in The Green Mile (the book).

Where the Wild Things Are. I'm 19, my uncle is 27. We cried manly tears that movie. Holy shit it was one of the best movies I've ever seen.

NO REGRETS

Seconded. I saw it when I was 21. Actually had to wipe my face three times. It was awesome.

Other manly shedding tears movies include Titanic, Green Mile, Shawshank Redemption and Edge of Darkness. Mel Gibson may not be a great guy in real life...but he in movies is fucking celestial.

Toy Story 3.

Many manly tears were cried that day.

Even a sob or two.

oh gods, yes. this.

also, the end of scrubs on nbc. that little montage at the very end of the series finale had me all choked up.

 

[keideki]

I always choke up when I watch Its a Wonderful Life. I used to cry when Bruce Willis dies in Armageddon too. Sometimes I cry after a really good book, but mainly cuz its over and I don't want it to be.

 

[Kevimaster]

I've basically never cried to anything in real life (besides the death of my Grandfather), and I never cry at movies. But christ, every 3rd or 4th anime/manga I watch/read will have tears streaming down my face at least once.

Why can't Western live action be that good at telling stories and getting you to actually care about the characters in the shows. >.>

EDIT: Particularly

Elfen Lied
Phantom ~Requiem for the Phantom~
Fulllmetal Alchemist (Hughes)
Gungslinger Girl (manga)

 

[Chezza]

Terminator 2... One of the best movies around. But the tears were based at the end where the final piece of machinery had to go...

 

[Edward Heffner]

there are quite a few episodes in FMA that brings manly tears to my eyes

 

[jackpackage200]

For me, it was David Tennant leaving Doctor Who. His last line gets me everytime

Pretty much whenever there's a part in a film or game or series when something great happens or something emotional happens to characters you have actually begun caring for. It doesn't have to be near the ending or anything, but it has to be something great. A decent example is the Lighting of the Beacons sequence of LOTR. When Theoden says 'And Rohan will answer.' and with the awesome music that plays, I'm always like 'Aww, Hell yeahh!' And just the epic-ness of the line, knowing that it will have a huge effect on the world and the characters, and that it's such a cool moment for men, because they have a chance of victory - that brings tears of mighty joy to my eyes as chills run down my spine. I know it's kinda stupid, but whatever.

I had tears in my eyes during my highschool graduation. I didnt cry though.

 

[Death God]

The death scene in the Lion King. I always cry at that, or the part in the first pokemon movie when Ash is turned to stone.

Or the part where Pikachu is slapping his clone and all the pokemon are fainti-....fuck it that whole movie was sad.

This. SO much of this!

I shed manly tears twice while watching the last of the Digimon Adventure 02. And I burst into tears when it finished. My childhood complete :')

The last time I cried was a month ago when I saw my Grandfather in his casket. There's nothing like seeing the strongest, most bad-ass, tell you the hard truth because he loves you, conqueror in a casket. The damn guy kicked lung cancer's ass at 74, and went on to live several years after because he wanted to. So yeah, I don't feel bad about letting some water slip. The world lost a man who could build a house with his hands, shoot a crow on the wing in mid-air with a .22, or kill a buck at 150 yards in one shot with a .22 rifle. Work his ass off herding cattle and bailing hay, shrug off a broken arm, burn his callouses in a wood stove at night to harden them and cut them off with a knife, and still take his grandkids fishing. Still miss my Grandpa.

I know what you mean..I always got that feeling when my shepard is made human spectre in Mass effect,

or at the end of both games

I cried when Thor doesn't ever get to see Natalie Portman ever again, because the Rainbow Bridge was destroyed! He doesn't ever get to see her naked!

I cry for those reasons all the time!

 

[tobi the good boy]

Deadman Wonderland when Nagi Kengamine (AKA: Owl) Died. was one of the saddest moments of my life. He's a man trapped in a twisted world where they're forced to fight gladiatorial matches in which the loser has an organ harvested. He was forced to face the woman he loved and threw the match and had his voice box taken out. But when the director found out he threw the match they killed his wife, he couldn't call out her name as he held her in his arms.

Few years later he works as a rebel leader who want to bring the horrible games to an end, However, he's not out for vengeance he just wants to be free and see his son on the outside so he can hold him in his arms. Turns out that his hope was a complete lie and that his child was harvested from his love when she died and that his memories of that child aren't real. He goes insane and starts killing friend and foe alike but quickly returns to his sense and discovers that the woman who's been helping the whole time (Who happens to love him but obviously he doesn't feel the same way) snaps him back into reality. As soon as that happens he gets shot in the stomach and collapses. As one of the primary antagonist (the one who killed his wife) is being shot Nagi in his dying breath stops him from getting away and gets caught up in the attack.

Any time a dog dies in a movie.

I've avoided a certain movie with Will Smith because of a scene I've heard about.
