They’re damm movies populated by actors. Cry? You’ve got to be kidding. Men only cry when their sports team loses and they just dropped a bundle because of it..

Too long, Martha. I’m still using that mouse pad that you sent me with Hillary’s face on it after all these years. I loved Victor McLaglen in “She Wore a Yellow Ribbon” as Sgt Quincannon. John Ford was the master. Happy New Year!!!

I was the 4th post and just read all posts....it surprised me that THE FIGHTING SULLIVANS has not been mentioned..

and it’s a true story which was the vehicle for making Saving Private Ryan

My brother told me the saddest day of his life was when he was 17. He used to wrestle with my our Dad, he was always pined by Dad. One day they were goofing around in the back yard and my brother pined Dad. He said their relationship changed forever that day.

Of course there are times when a man will cry but not over the stupid movies listed. My husband who only shed a tear when his Mom died, collapsed on the floor and wept for nearly an hour when our twin grandsons died.
Men cry but it is for good reason.

No movie I can recall actually made me cry except for Marley & Me.

Saw Marley & Me for the first time tonight. Add that one to my list. Just something about dog movies...
