10 titles
- DirectorRobert StevensonStarsDorothy McGuireFess ParkerTommy KirkA teenage boy grows to love a stray yellow dog while helping his mother and younger brother run their Texas homestead while their father is away on a cattle drive. First thought to be good-for-nothing mutt, Old Yeller is soon beloved by all.This offical, this is one of 3 movies that guys are allowed, (and should) cry at. The coming of age story is about as heart breaking as they come.
- DirectorGeorge StevensStarsAlan LaddJean ArthurVan HeflinAn ex-gunfighter defends homesteaders in 1889 Wyoming.If you like old westerns then you already know what a great movie this is, if you don't like old westerns don't bother with Shane
- DirectorAllen ReisnerStarsGlynis JohnsCameron MitchellRex ThompsonAn immigrant family in 1850's Wisconsin prospers until tragedy strikes.Most of you have probably never heard of this movie, but trust me when the oldest boy goes from house to house begging the neighbors to take his brothers/sisters is riduculously heart rending
- DirectorBuzz KulikStarsJames CaanBilly Dee WilliamsJack WardenBased on the real-life relationship between teammates Brian Piccolo and Gale Sayers and the bond established when Piccolo discovers that he is dying.The true story of Gale Sayers and Brian Piccolo and here we have movie number 2 that all men are allowed to cry in.
- DirectorArthur HillerStarsAli MacGrawRyan O'NealJohn MarleyA boy and a girl from different backgrounds fall in love regardless of their upbringing - and then tragedy strikes.There have been a 1000 copies but this is the original "Love means never having to say your sorry". I was 8 years old when I saw this movie and didn't understand 1/2 of what was going on, but I still cried
- DirectorDavid AnspaughStarsSean AstinJon FavreauNed BeattyRudy has always been told that he was too small to play college football. But he is determined to overcome the odds and fulfill his dream of playing for Notre Dame.This comes close to beating out Brian's Song for the sports movie guys are allowed to cry at, but Rudy didn't die at the end.
- DirectorFrank CapraStarsJames StewartDonna ReedLionel BarrymoreAn angel is sent from Heaven to help a desperately frustrated businessman by showing him what life would have been like if he had never existed.If Jimmy Stewart starring in a Frank Capra movie DOESN'T make you cry there is something seriously wrong with you, seriously!!! and by the way this is #3 of movies dudes can cry in.
- DirectorBoaz YakinStarsDenzel WashingtonWill PattonWood HarrisIn 1971 Virginia high school football was everything to the people of Alexandria. But when the school board was forced to integrate an all-black school with an all-white one, the very foundation of football's tradition was put to the test.Another sports movie I know, Denzel pretty much carries this movie from an acting standpoint, and while not on the official 3 list, when Wood Harris (Julius Campbell) goes into Ryan Hurst's (Gary Bertier)room after the paralyzing accident, it may be time to get up and go to bathroom so your chick won't see you misting up.
- DirectorFranco ZeffirelliStarsJon VoightFaye DunawayRicky SchroderBilly Flynn is an ex-champion boxer who was KO'd by booze and gambling. When the wealthy, estranged mother of his young son begins trying to lure the boy away from him, Flynn must return to the ring to provide for his child.This may be the only movie you ever need to see with Rick Schroder in it. This one will a tear out of most people but it doesn't make the list of movies guys are allowed to cry in.
- DirectorPhil Alden RobinsonStarsKevin CostnerJames Earl JonesRay LiottaIowa farmer Ray Kinsella is inspired by a voice he can't ignore to pursue a dream he can hardly believe. Supported by his wife, Ray begins the quest by turning his ordinary cornfield into a place where dreams can come true.Another sports movie that's not really about sports at all. In the final scene when Kevin Costner says "Hey Dad, you have a catch" I get all misty just typing it
