what makes YOU cry manly tears?

[V1C3M4N]

I've cried at the end of Armageddon and Saving Private Ryan, nothing like some well acted male self sacrifice!

Also Toy Story 3, nothing like ending the Saga of my childhood.

 

[Sethzard]

At the end of a couple of Raymond E. Feist's books, at some pixar films, and at the most recent episode of fairy tail. I don't exactly cry, but I get a lump and can feel that if it gets more emotive I might.

 

[EinTheCorgi]

A lot of stupid crap makes me cry...though I cant think of any at the moment. Though I did have a dream where my 9 year old daughter was killed by a drunk driver...I sobbed for hours.

 

[Purplecoyote]

The movie Black Swan, and not just when I'm watching it, but for weeks after, in dark corners, telling myself it'll be ok...

 

[Quite_Insane]

What made everyone cry in Toy Story 3? I understand the furnace scene was kind of sad, but my eyes remained dry the whole movie.

OT: Whenever I see those animal abuse commercials I cry a few tears and have a sudden urge to hug my dog.

 

[YouBecame]

Schindlers List reduced me to manly waterfeatures. Seriously, I broke at the end so hard it was unreal.

BTW Onions don't work on me: contact lenses are AWESOME for cutting onions (note: small issue of having poor vision required)

 

[SL33TBL1ND]

The end of Cities in Flight. That was so sad.

 

[Flamezdudes]

Well, I just finished Clannad After Story.

That and the first series of Clannad made me get extremely watery eyes, but I haven't cried in a while. Seriously though, Clannad is frickin emotional man!

 

[Harbinger_]

The ending to "Where the Red Fern grows." It gets me literally every time. Being manly though I only cry one single tear just like in the movies.

 

[Valkraye]

Actually, ironically, most recently it was the scene that is in most "Manly Tears" demotivational posters.

Spoiler

Poor Maes.

 

[TheXRatedDodo]

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

Spoiler

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.

The Green Mile reduced me to a quivering, snivelling, snotty wreck for the last hour or so of it. Probably the hardest I cried since I was a little kid. Haven't cried anywhere near as hard since then.
Painfully sad movie.

 

[DTWolfwood]

Clannad.
Anyone who saw Clannad and didn't cry like a baby is a robot.
I finished watching Clannad over two weeks ago and I still can't go 5 minutes without something reminding me of something that happened in that show and blubbering like an infant for hours at a time.

Bawled like a newborn once per episode, at least for After Story. Hell, the intro theme still makes me tear up, and I watched it over a year ago. Definitely in the top 5 saddest (not depressing, mind, but you're guaranteed to cry) stories of all time.

ditto! after story is the single saddest thing i've ever watched. Seriously if they didn't play the "it was all a dream" Cliche, i would have completely lost it in that last episodes, i was damn near sobbing when his kid died on the street. (dear god im tearing up thinking about it as im typing this.)

 

[DoctorPhil]

The Chopper & Doctor Hiluluk flashback in One Piece's Drum Island arc. damn..... It's the only time I've cried as an adult. Even on the second watch I cried many manly tears, even while I tried my hardest not to.

Not a particularly recent one, but I re-watched Prison Break recently and when

Spoiler

Bellick

dies I always cry a bit. His character undergoes such a huge change and he does something you'd never expect him to have done in season one.

Oh yeah that was pretty sad too, and then when you think about what his mom must go through.... nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!

Also Envy's death in FMA:brotherhood had me at the verge of tears, though I managed to hold them back using all my willpower. Kind of weird, he was supposed to be the most hatable character, but he was my favorite and I hoped he could be redeemed. Alas.

Actually, ironically, most recently it was the scene that is in most "Manly Tears" demotivational posters.

Spoiler

Poor Maes.

the first series did the scene more justice than Brotherhood. I too shed manly tears when his daughter asked y they were putting him in the ground, cliche but effective.

that and the death of the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen. The entire memorial episode after his death was the saddest to watch in the ENTIRETY of the naruto series.

 

[Helios_(DEL)]

The first pokemon movie.

I didnt cry but it was a very, very deep film for a pokemon movie.
My moment where i shed a tear was when Naruto had just beaten pain and his way of handleing things with pain motivated pain to bring all narutos villagers back to life, but the moment that got me was when kakashi had braught naruto back to konohah, to naruto's surprise that all the villagers were waiting for there hero and flash backs to narutos sucesses events prior to pain and naruto notices that hes finally been accepted.
The moral of the story, talking ends wars not weapons.
Good work kishi!keep it up.

 

[rvdm88]

The ending of Professor Layton and the Unwound future:


Not many games have moved me as much as this one, even though those games have fancy things like polygons

 

[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.

Yeah, here it is! join the hugging and crying afterwards.

Yep, that definitely left a lump in the throat. Thanks for the link!

 

[Sarcastic_Applause]

The first pokemon movie.

oh god yeah, i forgot about that. i still can't mentally process that thought.
Odd as it may seem, i cried during Ghost Town with Ricky Gervais; if youve seen it, its near the end where he starts helping them (you know what i mean), and it just really got to me how the living reacted to all these things.

Jesus im getting choked up thinking about it. Feel free to call me an idiot, thats just me

 

[Karhukonna]

*SPOLER WARNING*

I'm kinda hesitant to admit it, but when I was watching the ending to Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, and when the president grants Naked Snake the award and afterwards he's visiting the unmarked grave of his mentor, and you totally understand how the goverment fucked him over and that all that terrorist crap was justified, a single, manly tear was shed.

Goddamnd that was manly. I polished my NCO cross with that teardrop.

 

[Griffolion]

My fiancee had to put her cat down a few weeks ago and I was there. It was sad in itself, but it reminded me of when I had to put the cat I had been with my entire childhood down a few years ago. I have a huge soft spot for cats.

I'm the same as you. I don't think I could love a human child more than I love my cat. I need help, probably.

Oh and I watched the I Heart Revolution: We're All In This Together film and couldn't hold tears back. I challenge you to go through that without feeling moved.

Here's the trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4NlyZqJhwk
