Top 20 movies that can make men cry like a baby | Male-bonding, paternity, pets and even cars can get even the most macho men sobbing like a baby in a movie theatre—that’s what a survey for the most heart-wrenching movies for men has revealed. They are
the common themes among the 20 films most likely to leave even the most macho
of viewers in floods of tears, according to a poll. The survey comes after the
recent release of Toy Story 3, which has become as known for leaving men sobbing
uncontrollably as it has for its box office success. Top of the list is ‘Lord
of the Rings: The Return of the King’, as the adventurers look back on what has
happened in the long film while a stirring score plays over the top. Second is
the scene on the beach at the end of ‘The Shawshank Redemption’ in which the two
prisoners are reunited after one has escaped and the other freed on parole. At
the third spot is the heart-rending relationship between an elderly man and a
boy in animated film ‘Up’. Fourth in the list is the distinctly unromantic ending
to One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest starring Jack Nicholson as an inmate of a mental
asylum. Animals feature strongly in the list— Owen Wilson saying goodbye to his
dying dog in ‘Marley and Me’ is placed fifth in the list. And the pig who thinks
he's a sheepdog in ‘Babe’ also features in the list. And a scene that would probably
never feature on a similar list for women also makes it, thanks to the emotional
attachment men have with beautiful cars—it is the scene early on in ‘The Italian
Job’, when the Mafia destroy two E-Types and an Aston Martin to warn off Michael
Caine. The list was compiled from the feedback to the BBC Magazine website and
ranges from boxing classics ‘Rocky’ and ‘The Champ’ to the Finnish documentary
‘Steam of Life’. "In response to the discussion about why Toy Story 3 makes men
cry male readers have been getting in touch with their emotional side and opening
up about their own private tear-jerkers,” the Scotsman quoted a BBC spokesman
as saying. The top ten 1. ‘The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King’ — The
Grey Havens scene as the film — and the trilogy — climaxes, to the sound of a
stirring score 2. ‘The Shawshank Redemption’ — The reunion between the two former
prisoners on the beach in Mexico 3. ‘Up’ — The heart-rending relationship between
an elderly man and a boy 4. ‘One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest’ — The Indian chief
kills Jack Nicholson and escapes from the psychiatric institution to freedom 5.
‘Marley and Me’ — Man played by Owen Wilson says goodbye to his dying dog 6. ‘The
Champ’ — A retired boxer has one last fight for the sake of his son 7. ‘The Notebook’
— The final scene in the rest home where the old lovers die together 8. ‘Babe’
— Where the farmer ends the movie by saying: 'That'll do, pig' 9. ‘Field of Dreams’
— Kevin Costner plays catch with his father 10. ‘Chariots of Fire’ — When the
British atheletes win their Olympic races against the odds. |
