Four Tear Jerker Movies Available to Show in HD for Guys Living in California and Texas
Most men think of themselves as ‘tough guys’. It’s a common stereotype of men to not act like mushy guys who cry. They aren’t supposed to cry when they get hurt or something happens. They aren’t supposed to cry when they’re sad or upset. And they most certainly are not to cry during movies. It’s ok for guys to show some emotion if their favorite sports team loses, but never because of a film.
However, most guys will agree that there are those few movies out there that they’ve been known to shed a tear or two. Sure, two of the movies happen to be sports related, but it’s still nice to see your man show some real emotion once in a while. Guys will be guys, but some movies that can’t help but shed a tear.
First on the list is “Rudy” from the year 1993 starring Sean Astin as the main character Rudy. Rudy has a dream of playing football at Notre Dame but neither has the intelligence nor the athletic ability to play for the Fighting Irish. This is a movie a heart, ambition, and dreaming the impossible dream. Based on a true story, it’s any Notre Dame fan’s favorite movie. Men can watch this movie over and over again and still shed a tear when Rudy is carried off the field by his teammates. To see the Notre Dame Stadium in HD can also bring tears to the eyes of any Irish fanatic.
Next up is “The Notebook” starring Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams. Although dubbed as your typical dramatic chick flick, it’s been known to rile the feelings of even the toughest “tough guy”. The movie is based on a novel by Nicolas Sparks of the same title. Possibly because the author happens to be a man do guy find this more of an excuse to display emotion. This movie is the ultimate romantic movie, but none the less, men who watch are known to secretly shed a tear or two.
William Wallace screaming “Freedom!” at the end of “Braveheart” is enough of an image to make any guy breakdown. Majority of guys consider themselves warriors at heart. Seeing this depicted in a movie about the Scottish rebellion of the 14th century, touches the heart of any man. Mel Gibson portrays and directs an historical figure in this epic movie. Considered a man’s movie, men are permitted to enjoy this tear jerker flick.
“Brian’s Song” is thought to be one of the finest sports related movies of all time. Another movie based on the true story of NFL players Brian Piccolo and Gale Sayers. Although originally released as a made for TV movie, it was later released in theatres and is available on DVD. It also often plays on sports channels as a weekend movie. The story of two tough football players sharing an intimate friendship during the hardest times of their lives is a themed story for the ages.
If your man is unable to express emotions in everyday life, turn on one of these flicks and he’s almost guaranteed to shed a tear. Any man who is unable to cry while watching one of these films has serious emotional issues. And if all else fails, try putting on “Titanic” in high definition, watching Leo sink beneath the ocean is enough to make any heart melt.

Teare provides us with poems that insist on the simultaneous physical embodiment of tactile pleasure–that which is found in the textures of thought and language–as well as the action of syntax… |
