Rudy and Old Yeller must be on this list of top 20 "guy cry" movies, right? Talk about movies that make everyone ugly cry uncontrollably.
Personally, I've never met a man who says he didn't cry while watching, either. I mean, who doesn't cry when a once loveable family pet, Old Yeller, has to be shot to death because he's contracted rabies?
I am literally tearing up right now thinking about Old Yeller, so let's move on to one of the greatest sports films of all time, Rudy. Talk about a tear-jerker and the fact that it's based on a true story from Notre Dame football.
But guess what? Neither of those movies made the top 20. WTF?!
Now, since I'm not a guy, maybe I don't understand what movies make a guy cry because this list, for the most part, confuses me, but hey, I'm all for anyone crying over a movie if it's releasing that much-needed emotion with all the feels.
According to The Ringer website, the following movies often bring grown men to tears and no, Titanic, The Notebook, and Marley & Me didn't even make the list.
So what does Hollywood have to do to reduce a man to tears?
The Guy Cry Movie is a slightly different beast. These are films that touch on certain masculine-coded topics or themes -- sports, war, father-son relationships -- and are so emotionally affecting in their execution that the dudes in your life will need to reach for a box of tissues.
The only ones I get are Good Will Hunting, The Shawshank Redemption, Field of Dreams, Saving Private Ryan, and E.T.. But that's probably because I cried during those films as well.
