Top 10 Movies That Bring Real Men To Tears

[Alnamvet68]

OK, much has been said about these so called chick flicks, which when my daughters watch one, they all become a hot mess. Well, real men cry too, and any man who says he doesn't cry, is FOS. With that introduction, I have my top 10 list which, every time I watch them, will jerk a tear or more out of my head every time.

What are yours? It doesn't have to be 10, I just happen to have 10 faves.

1. Invincible - The Vince Papale Story
2. The Pianist
3. Remember the Titans
4. Men of Honor
5. Antwone Fisher
6. The Shawshank Redemption
7. Friday Night Lights
8. Rudy
9. Midnight Cowboy
10. One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest
11. Flame and Citron

OK real men, post yours. My top 10, well 11, are by no means limited to just those, but I do have a preference for movies that are based on reality, and especially when the down and out good guy comes out on top.

The final scene in Saving Private Ryan at the Normandy Cemetery, where he asks his wife to please tell him that he has been a good man. Gets me every time.

Same for me and I don't care what anyone thinks either. That's a tough one. Million dollar baby, Marley and me, and Men of Honor are all good too.
