Scenes that almost make a grown man cry

[Deleted member 24970]

The book 'The Road', proper dad n lad stuff.

Certain songs get me every single time. Cico Buff by the Cocteau Twins and Sanvean by Lisa Gerrard to name but two.

Film, How to train your dragon 2, when Stoic the chief dies, was at the cinema with my lad who started crying because his hero's dad had died and he didn't want to feel the same.....jibbering mess then...

too much dust in this world for an old duffer to cope with...

Did they bring this out as a film ? if so then I randomly found the dvd last night in a old drawer.

...Gary McAllisters goal.

Liverpool do it to us that many times it hardly hurts anymore, its more frustration now at how many times we hand over 3 points.

Had me in tears at the first time of viewing.

Now she's gone in real life, too.

...for some reason that one felt particularly bad, pea roller from 35 yards late in the game. Typical.

Another scene I forgot to mention was the final scene at the end of Blackadder, just has a poignant yet eerily feeling at the end.

When you get home after a really terrible day in work. .. and your Mrs is there... waiting for you...

The film equally. I was emotionally drained. So underrated.

Apologies if already posted elsewhere, but after watching Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows pt. 2 last night for the second time, It was the first time I really paid attention to the 'always' scene involving Severus Snape - played by the late great Alan Rickman.

The skills behind playing such a complex, misunderstood character was a brilliant piece of art from Mr Rickman.

The question is, as someone who has been described as 'cold hearted' at times, is there any particular scenes that have made you have a lump in your throat ?

(Cue all the tough guys who are all testosterone flowing, Stella Artois guzzling, swinging brick for a heart men, pointing and laughing at this soppy soul)

Some of mine are:

Goodnight Mister Tom - generally upsetting seeing the boy a nervous wreck.
The Green Mile - John Coffy's wrongful execution.
The Deathly Hallows pt. 2 - Snape's 'always' scene.
The Boy in the striped Pyjamas - end scene.
I am legend - will smith putting his own dog to sleep (mainly because I put my childhood family pet to sleep less than 24 hours earlier).

Are there any other moments that almost make a grown man cry ?

Fire Away people

Crying is appropriate for humans. Hiding your emotions because you're afraid of backlash isn't manly.

That said, the Severus Snape scene is a bad choice. It's poor writing from Rowling there, and even Rickman's brilliance can't make the obsession much less awkward. Pull yourself together, man!

Forrest Gump, when he was talking to Jenny's headstone. "If you ever need anything". Damn Hanks is one hell of an actor.

Shawshank, the very end, "I hope", Red walking down the beach to his friend. So much awful stuff in that movie, the perfect finish.

The Last Samurai, when Katsumoto dies and looks to the blossom trees. "They're all perfect".
