    I don't ever want to see Marley & Me; I went through that experience.


    But... Toy Story 3... holding hands... won't spoil... little fcuker leaves for College... now that was sad.

    Ah Ffs, Fart, could you not spoiler tag that. I've waited ages on TS3.

    I cried when I watched The Room.










    We are talking about tears of laughter right?

    Life is Beautiful - yep.
    Green Mile - yep.
    Marley and me - almost. - Though my son nearly had a breakdown.
    Too many others to mention.

    Excuse me, I'm lactating. :D

    Really i gotta admit that Marley and Me had me going near the end cos that Dog reminded me of mine but other than that i've never really felt the inclination to cry at a film. Got me thinking though is it okay for blokes to cry at films? I'd personally think it was a bit odd if i was in the pictures and some bloke was crying his eyes out near me (especially if i was at the terminator or summit).

    Ha! Ha! You went to see Marley and Me!


    Up. Now there's one. F*ck me that life-time montage is something else. :(

    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 have to admit I think I am the anti christ, I laughed at that part when I was a kid. Also at the end of Shrek 2 when he jumps off the stage and crushes the little doggy, all the little kids gasped and I was skitting my hole laughing.
    I am Legend with the dog though that gets to me. I won't watch marley and me cause I'll sob like a little girl.
    Oh if the last episode of Lost, I'm nearly getting a tear in my eye thinking of it.

    Anyway back to manly man time. Grrr BEERRR, FIGHTTING and SPHHHUUUDS

    The only movie any man is allowed to cry in is T2:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZ6uLFsLR2Y

    Still brings a tear to my eye when he gives the thumb up! It's also somewhat ironic that it takes the death of a machine rather than a human to make me well up!

    I've cried watching a few films but only ever when i'm watching them by myself. I think the last one was at the end of "Everybody's Fine". Also i read the lovely bones..brilliant book but it dehydrated me :)

    See the spoiler tags???? Is that so fucking hard you inconsiderate Fart. I avoid reviews and trailers so you can go in open minded and then someone does that. It may only be a small spoiler or is it? I don't know cos I haven't seen the film yet, but I could have done without it. Have some consideration next time.

    Have to say, had a tear in my eye at the end of Song for a Raggy Boy. And the Passion had me a bit emotional as well. The book is better. :p

    I cried when Paolo Ghislimberti was killed during the Italian GP in 2000.

    I know its not quite the same thing, but I was watching something, and then something happened, and that made me cry. So close enough!

    The Green Mile makes me sad too. As does Song for A Raggy Boy

    Of course it is BUT only if you are crying at a selfless noble death of another man, machine or dog. Even then when your bird is going awww etc you're obliged to grab her tit.

    This 6 minute documentary got me, big time.

    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.



    Referencing Barney Stinson High Five!

    I'm not sure about that but I think he deserves to be made shed tears after that cock up!
