Ummm...I like lists like this. And I don't mean to knock the person who did it...but no.

10. The Wrestler - Never saw it so I won't comment.

9. Saving Private Ryan - Huh? Good movie...not a tearjerker, except for maybe the scene at the very end.

8. Braveheart - Saw it 3 times I think. Inspiring. Motivational. Not a cry-inducing thing, though.

7. Field of Dreams - The only one they got right. Absolutely.

6. E.T. The Extra Terrestrial - My wife actually did cry at this one. At the scene where he was laying near death. Not me, though. I thought he looked like a butchered chicken.

5. The Shawshank Redemption - Didn't this have the quintesstial Hollywood happy ending? What's to cry about?

4. Friday Night Lights - See #5 above. BY THE WAY, this may be the only movie in history with a TV show of incomparably superior quality. If you haven't seen the TV version of FNL, please do. It's the only tv show I've ever watched, where I have this thought every single time: "How did something this good get on network TV." Truly remarkable. The movie? Not so much.

3. Terminator 2: Judgement Day - I assume this is a joke?

2. Good Will Hunting - No movie in which the lead character quotes Howard Zinn approvingly is going to induce any emotion from me other than anger.

1. Star Trek II: The Wrath of Kahn - Right. I don't know which made me cry harder, Start Trek II or Smokie and the Bandits II.

And HOW did they miss the NUMBER ONE "guy-cry" movie?

Brian's Song

Nope, Stargate. Decent movie, awesome TV series (for the first 8 seasons).

The sad ending in Wayne’s World really chocked me up.
