Men, You know what I'm talking about. This has happened to you:
You're watching a movie with your family, and suddenly you, and any other guy in the room, shed that single man-tear, but you do not make a single sound. Meanwhile, any woman in the room seeing this has no idea why "You Men" have all gotten so emotional suddenly. She does not understand; She can never understand. To her it's just a movie, but to a man, it is a movie that has such meaning, such impact, it is well worth that man-tear. We may not know why we shed the man-tear, but we know, deep down, that if we do not, we are not men, but the hollow shell of what should have been a man.
And It's not just American men, but men all across the globe know this feeling. The feeling we get when the iron stake, that has burrowed through our chests through the course of the movie, hits the chink in the armor that we use to guard our emotions so vigilantly, and forms a crack just big enough for that single man-tear.
Men, it is here where we impart on each other our favorite man-tear movies: For the betterment of Men-kind.
I submit to you, the classic Man-tear movie, "Field of Dreams" starring Kevin Costner. I will not post a trailer because no minute-and-a-half long clip can do justice to the epic-ness of this film.

It is already dawg time.
Oh no!
Big Fish - Man-tear.
The Hurt Locker - Welling (but not fall) of a man-tear when (spoilers) Sanford cries and says he just wants a son and that he has nothing.
Dudebro Zero: Bildudesroman - When Dudebro has to mercy-kill his best friend Dawg McBraski with nothing but a Jeep Wrangler powerwinch and a set of Ernie Ball Super Slinkies because he got a C6 Fracture while windsurfhangwake-skimboarddirtbiking, so that he doesn't have to live an unrad life...Man-tear.
Way to miss the point of the thread!
My submission however is Armageddon.
Big Fish makes me cry very girly tears, and I am not ashamed to admit that.
