Our friends over at FilmDrunk have the latest footage from "Funny People," the much-anticipated Judd Apatow/Adam Sandler collaboration. While this clip clearly emphasizes the film's slapsticky side, previous trailers have suggested a melancholy streak -- perhaps the kind that may elicit waterworks in the viewer.
There is no question chicks like it when movies make them cry. They're masochistic that way. (Probably has something to do with childbirth.) Guys, on the other hand, are mixed on the prospects of a film making them well up. This is why we've made "Beaches" into a punch line.
But every once in a while, a film sucks us in with the promise of sports or violence or sex jokes, and then makes us sob like little babies -- and we still love it. While it remains to be seen if "Funny People" is that type of film, we want to know what you think the manliest tearjerker is.
Is there another testosterone-targeted tearjerker we missed? Let us know in the comments.

Agreed I think "Braveheart" is the only one on the list to actually make me shed a tear

Are all of you too young? What about 'We were Soldier, Once...'? I guess you had to have been there.

Hands down, the only movie to really break my heart is "Lonely Are the Brave" with Kirk Douglas

Reading the book "We Were Soldiers, Once, And Young" made the movie not emotional enough. Half the movie was pretty made up.

Sorry Braveheart made you cry. The only thing about that movie is it's 80% fiction. One example is that his love interest (Isabella, aka The She-wolf of France) was only 13 years old at the time of Wallace's death. She also murdered her husband with a hot poker...not anything like the Isabella portrayed in the movie; she never had an affair with Wallace. There is so much more wrong with that movie. But if his death scene made you cry, well, that was one of the few accuracies of that movie.

you mentioning music, reminds of "La Bamba". It was actually going to be called "The day the music died".

Cmon...I watched Jerry Maguire in a theater full of Marines, and as we left, we all were "complaining" I thought the movie was about football!

Glory is, in my mind, the best Civil War movie ever made. The scene at the end where the colonel is looking over the ocean before the the suicidal charge on the Confederate fort, as well as his body being dumped next to Denzel Washingtons character's made this Vietnam Vet cry.

Anyone who voted for Saving Private Ryan or Shawshank (seriously? Shawshank?!) has obviously never seen Brian's Song.

I don't know if this is a 'manly' movie but I shed a tear at Pursuing Happyness. He was so happy at the end. And yea, so was I.

Haven't you seen The Wrestler? The part with his daughter on the boardwalk kinda got me.

The movie "Taking Chance" starring Kevin Bacon brought tears to my eyes in several places. Maybe being a military retiree made this picture "move me" more than the average guy. It's also a TRUE story.
