U2- With or without you.
Ironic how that song has changed in meaning to me. Dating when it first came out, but now divorced. Being in love can be a dam difficult thing.
Which men / lads here cry when listening to music / watching films?

Barber - Adagio For Strings, OP11
Any movie with a fantastic (emotional) climax.

The Color Purple.
Particularly the scene where her sister is forced to leave and they play a game.
All of us watching were blubbing at that point.

I dont cry, I wouldnt even let myself cry at my dads funeral and that was the hardest day of my life. Must be something wrong with me. I get choked up sometimes but hold it all back.
I heard "neither one of us" by Gladys Knight not long after my dads funeral and he loved that record, that almost got me there so I'd put that song on my #1 most emotional top 10.

I'm not a man obviously, but the last movie I cried my eyes out over was "John Q" with Denzel Washington. The one where he takes a hospital hostage to give his son a heart transplant. Man that was a hard one to watch, especially since the little boy in the movie bore a striking resemblance to my Spencer.

A number of movies will do that to me. Music too, often associated with movies. The aria "Erbarme dich" from Bach's Passion according to saint Matthew, which Pasolini extensively used in the movie by the same title and others. Bach's cello solo suite in Cries and whispers, by Ingmar Bergman (when the two sisters, who were unable to communicate, unexpectedly start touching and speaking to each other). I found the combination of pathos and humour (in Mozart's Zauberflöte for instance) is especially powerful in drawing some tears.
I still remember the first time I saw Tarkovsky's Sacrifice (which incidentally uses the same aria of Bach's Passion): his last movie, but the first I saw from him. After I went out from the theater I wandered for hours in the streets of Paris, unable to do anything but cry... Like I had been met where I was so alone I didn't even know I was there. Some books (I can think of several novels by Hermann Hesse, which I read passionately when I left the JWs and some time after) had the same effect on me.
Kind of weird, isn't it?

Hey Narkissos.... being from France you reminded me of two other great tear jerkers "Jean De Florette" and the sequel "Manon of the Springs". Great foreign films, cinematically beautiful.
