what makes YOU cry manly tears?

[Cenryk]

I actually cried when the girl died in Bridge to Terabithia and then again at the end of How to Train Your Dragon when it compared Hiccup and Toothless' injuries, those those were more of happiness at their everlasting friendship. Oh, and in the first Fullmetal Alchemist when the Chimera was obliterated. Fuckin hit me hard when they just showed it out of nowhere.

Anything personified. Hell, you could tell me that a pencil feels happy and i'll nearly burst into tears when you break said pencil... I have problems with that, it's pretty much forced me to be vegetarian (I love chickens =[)
Not to mention I have difficulty even seeing anything die now because I personify it in my mind.
Don't have a problem with it though, and if people want to eat meat or anything I don't really care (mostly because I don't think too hard about it)

That's what makes me cry manly tears. as I eat a tofu-quorn burger with extra celary

This song:

It pretty much reflects how I feel about my own individuality. It's the one thing that I'm very defiant about in terms of personality.

 

[Gordon_4_v1legacy]

Dancecore song entitled your my angel
"I know this pretty rainbow-rainbow-rainbow*"
then again they are gay tears

Correction, MANLY Gay Tears: if the song means that much to you

Teknoman: final episode "Conrad, dear brother. It's over" as Blade brings the horrible saga of having to kill his family, one by one to protect the Earth, to an end.

DragonBall Z: "I'm going to crush you, and throw you into the wind" as Vegeta finally gets what it means to love his family and enact possibly one of the greatest heroic sacrifices in the series.

Gladiator: The entire last ten minutes or so: freeing the slaves, declaring Rome a republic (despite it not being historically correct), seeing his family in Elysium. Most of the dialogue is wonderful but none more so than "I will see you again my friend, but not yet" and then kicks into this:


Cinema at its finest.

I cry when needed/when I want, and that is when something sad does happen. When in "The Pursuit of Happyness", I saw the trauma that he went through in his life, and the happiness that he met in the end, I shed tears of sadness and joy. Big Fish (As OP has posted) also was a beautiful movie, because you built such a connection with the main character that you were sad to see him die.

There are 3 type of men when it comes to crying. 2 that don't cry and 1 that does. 1 that doesn't cry does so because he is insecure, the one that cries is one that is secure and does not care what others think. And the 3rd man is one who doesn't cry and tells other men that it is a weakness. This 3rd man is one who is not a man, but merely a child who has not or never will grow up, this is a statement that I believe in. If you don't like this statement, than sod off.

Advice for the men who are afraid though? VV

Fear your fears, but do not be afraid; use that fear as a weapon, whether it be a tear, a pen, or a sword. Use your fear, absorb it, accept it, and soon you will overcome it.

Toy Story 3
Tales of Symphonia (does it every time, without fail)
Almost cried at the end of Code Geass and Cowboy Bebop
When my dog died
When my cat died

Those are pretty much the main ones. Tales of Symphonia is the one work of fiction that makes me tear up every time. It's one of the reasons that it's my favorite game.

Futurama: episodes Jurassic bark, Leela's home world and Luck of the Fryish.

 

[SeriousIssues]

Jaurassic Bark.

Any well-performed interaction between family on the big screen, all animal harm (Fable 2, Fallout 3, etc), and fantastic games like Red Dead's endings. Plus some other books n' shit.

 

[JUMBO PALACE]

Toy Story 3 brought me close but I didn't quite cry. The Road was another that brought me close to tears.

Things that do make me very sad include pets dying, children's toys breaking, and lost stuffed animals and the ilk. I just feel so bad when something that is special to someone breaks or is lost and you can see just how sad they are.

Straight up ninja'd by one post on the 3rd page.

 

[Quantum Star]

The endings of Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker and FF7 Crisis Core. They get me every time.

 

[open trap]

I havent cried in years, so i don't know. Sorry lads

 

[Kurokasumi]

Angel Beats and Tayutama.

 

[Gudrests]

Pixar movies.

Toy Story 3 and Wall-e are the worst for it.

Same here, except replace Wall-E with up.

I havent seen up yet, noone would go to the cinema and i've never gotten round to buying it on dvd

Im sure i'll cry when i do watch it though

I saw UP with my Xgf.....It was all happy...and we were holding each other. then the sad part happend and...It took alot for me to hold in what I could.

 

[Melon Hunter]

Second episode of MLP:FiM a few times at the end. Annnnd during a few of the stories of how the mane cast got their cutie marks.

....what? Don't judge me.

Oh and some fanfiction of MLP called circle of friends.

Have you got a link for that fanfic? Google search is not being very helpful =/

OT: First 10 minutes of Up and that scene from Toy Story 3 get me every time. Also, I can't remember which book it was, but there's a part in the Wheel of Time where Perrin is defending a town from Trollocs and expects to be killed in the fighting, so he leaves a letter to Faile which I find rather upsetting to read.

 

[thefleeger]

The end of MGS4. That speech starts it and the ending scene finishes it. I didn't bawl, but they ran down my face as I watched in awe. Watching an epic come to an end.

 

[Condor219]

Oh and some fanfiction of MLP called circle of friends.

This and "Bubbles" get me going.

The ending of The Iron Giant.

This is one of my favorite movies, but it is just so dang sad at the end I can't manage to keep it in. Absolutely.

 

[DragonChi]

Toy Story 3

Pet's passing away

when I was first dumped

DEEPLY Hurtful things my mother often says to me

Then there are some moments in movies that kinda upset me a little, but not enough to cry about it. like in Star Wars: Return of the Jedi after the battle the Ewoks have with the Storm Troopers in the Forest, and one of the Ewoks is trying to get the attention of another Ewok that is laying on the ground, only to discover that he/she is dead, and he grieves over him. DON'T JUDGE ME!!
