what makes YOU cry manly tears?

[rutger5000]

I don't. What if I get teleported to a desert.
I'd just feel like a jackass, wasting precious body fluids.

But tears are salty, so wouldn't it be good to lose some salt?

 

[Wuggy]

The whole of Heavy Rain. Admittedly I didn't exactly cry per se, but I was in a MANLY depression for a week.

 

[rutger5000]

Man tears I don't need to call them that. I love to cry because of a good story, be it in books or in movies. When I was a kid I had this book about a soldier of Napolions army. There was a chapter where they searched for said soldiers best friend, and after a while they found his foot, the rest had been eaten by wolves. I loved to cry during that chapter, read the book several times just to get into that chapter. (Though it was a great book regardless.)

The last time I cried was at the ending of the Green Mile a few weeks ago, when:

John Coffey's closing his eyes and singing "Heaven" in the moments before he's executed...he didn't deserve to die dammit...

Aside from that there aren't many things that can make me cry any number of times. Possibly Jurassic Bark...maybe Gran Torino, I cry every damn time.

there's no such thing as manly tears!

 

[rutger5000]

I've seen two good comments, with I completly agree with.
"A Story is measured by the laughs and tears it brings."
"A man doesn't cry for himself, he cries for his comrades."
Exchanging comrade for fellow man, then as a man you should have cried at several occations.

You just brought something to light, my father introduced me to Calvin and Hobbes, it'd been his favourite comic book as a child.

 

[icypain]

Jurassic bark. *sniff* *sniff*

 

[Taldeer]

when they killed Henry Blake during MASH

Broke my heart...

 

[Jonluw]

Nothing.
This comes awfully close though:

Spoiler: Possible Clannad spoilers

 

[Sarkule]

The first pokemon movie.

 

[Redworld13]

Numorous moments in the novel War and Peace, possibly the greatest novel ever...
Plus the last 3 years of my life, so many bad choices

 

[blacon]

Toy Story 3!

 

[Oisin XD]

Pixar. Toy Story 3, WALL-E, and Finding Nemo especially.

Not actually crying, just a lump in my throat.

Haven't cried for years... It's just pointless.

 

[ItsAChiaotzu]

Everything recently. It's really weird, I just cry very, very easily. The Spirit Carries On by Dream Theater is a *****.

 

[General_Potatoes]

I laugh a manly laugh when im slaughtering zombies in L4D > Oh wait. Wrong topic.

 

[Monkfish Acc.]

I don't. What if I get teleported to a desert.

Salts are pretty vital, too. You also lose those in the desert, need to keep them up.

Just wasting all sorts of things with this crying bullshit.

Cutting onions. Seriously always strip that plastic looking layer inside the onion before you go at it or your in for a world of hurt.

Dude, blender. Trust me. Or maybe not a blender, I have something that's just great for chopping up that stuff into little pieces, sort of a mini blender thingy or something. Works like a charm.

OT: Skyrim. Like - any fucking news about it. The preview article on Escapist, solely a reviewer describing his playing experience, a few details, I'm bloody welling up.

 

[similar.squirrel]

You called it, OP. Calvin and Hobbes and Big Fish are both tear-jerkers of the highest order, although I've never actually cried because of either. I also tend to get really emotional during scenes where the bad guys get what they had coming, an example being the power-armour scene from District 9. I usually end up laughing to myself, but I feel kind of weepy.

Also, getting dumped. Yep.

 

[cryogeist]

Well....alot of things do...this is the most recent though

Spoiler: Call me silly....but this

no really....listen to the whole thing...the way they sing the song...
