    I dont see anything wrong with a man crying at a movie if the movie was sad I cant see the problem , Men have feelings too and should be allowed to express their feeling without anyone passing comments and saying they have the ghey

    Me and the boy watched Marley and Me a few months back and the both of us were emotional crying wreaks by the end of the movie.

    The one and only time I've caught him cry.

    We're watching movies which are classically stored on film.. We're not sitting watching film.

    I watched The Road, in a very fragile state one Sunday morning. It broke me. First movie I ever cried to. I'll never watch it again.

    No, now don't be ghey either. Go drink beer & harrass women like any other beer swilling, gut belching alpha-male member of our society do.

    I've shed a few tears at the end of a good few films, a couple of books and even an episode of Buffy! I tend to watch films on Sundays when I'm very hungover so somewhat unstable to begin with. Marley and Me totally did me over, was in ribbons for like the last half an hour of that film.

    I'd rather save that kick for you actually and then you can tell me boys don't cry.

    Marley and me = Life's shít then your dog dies. Not sad just depressing.


    Cried my eyes out to The Karate Kid. It’s the story of a hopeful, young karate enthusiast whose dreams and moxie take him all the way to the All Valley Karate Championship.

    Then at the end he tragically loses to that nerdy kid who barely even knows Karate. It's so sad.



    Anyway, the only film that almost tipped me over the edge was The bridge to Terabithia. Barely held on to my man card through that one.

    A bloke can cry, but a Man (grr, football, tits, beer, spitting, rawr,) shouldn't.

    Having said that, Marley & Me had me sobbing like a little bitch with a skinned knee. I have emoticons too you know. Now someone get me some wine and one of those wingy vagina sponges, my ovary is exploding.

    i went to see Marley and Me because i thought it would cheer me up on a 'down' day. so not meant to be a happy film...i would not have gone to see it if it had been advertised the way it really is...

    bridge to Terabithia is AMAZING! kind of like my girl...

    Our teacher was lazy, she would stick on film and feck off to the staff room.

    Showing a class of 6 years old the film Bambi was not a good idea.
    The class including me were crying when his mother got shot, gulp :(:(:(

    Principal discovered an unattended class all crying, I do hope that teacher got a bollocking

    I'm not ashamed to admit that Marley and Me killled me.

    The whole "Remember when we said you were the worst dog in the world? Don't believe one word of it" speech, argh. I don't cry much anyway but that, feck me.

    If any of my mates are reading this(In particular PabD), yes, I watched Marley and Me and I cried.

    Ps. The end of Cool Runnings - I had tears in my eyes when people started to slow clap (I want to start one one day), they had tried so hard.
