I suspect that I'm going to get a lot of hammer for this but I've just been watching the telly and have seen a movie that's guaranteed to turn me into a sob sister. The movie is 'The Last Samurai' with some handsome Japanese men and the Midget Cruise. I've no idea what promotes this lachrymose reaction but the question is: Is there any book/telly programme/movie that makes you sob your socks off? It's ok to answer this question even if you're a butch homosexual. If necessary you can rejoin and pretend to be someone else.

PS: 'The Persian Boy' by Mary Renault turns me into a weeping screamer too

Not me, but a former sister-in-law - destroyed her make up watching "Paint your Wagon" (movie version with Lee Marvin).

Not sad crying, but laughter crying.

For me - the only thing that makes me cry is being constipated for sa week, then going to the crapper and knowing full well that what's coming down the chute is large, hard and inflexible.

There - Bedlamised in one simple response

I once got my penis jammed in a doorway, that made me cry, let me tell you.

Pain doesn't do it for me, too much childhood conditioning against male tears I suppose.

Sentiment takes me as close as it gets, certain songs, trashy movie endings.

Real tragedies like cruelty to animals just make me frustrated and angry.

Cried first time in public when recently putting down our mangy old dog. Loved the bad tempered, foul smelling little cur and had tears in the eyes when attractive young Aussie vet gave him the needle while I held his paw.

Strange. ..................Seen all forms of human misery in the military and police in the far east, but it was a scruffy dog that did it for me.

I wept at a mate's funeral a few week's ago. Not the manly thing to do according the book "How to be a Man" - but I never liked reading anyways.

Funny. I got through my Mom's without a tear, but that dam_n dog....................

We've got similarities there.

As that old song says...

Sa-a-ad movies always make me cry

I don't cry from pain, and tragedies just turn me cold, but sentimental movies make my eyes water. it doesn't matter whether it's a sad or happy ending.

That first post and this thread just about marks the finale of the takeover of the once great "Bedlam"

There's been a few movies for which I have quietly shed a tear...can't for the life of me think which ones they were though. I sometimes shed a tear when I see CCF or Save The Children ads on TV, or news articles/documentaries about all the horrific atrocities the US commits in Afghanistan that affect women and children.

Physical pain doesn't do it for me....swearing like a trooper suffices to let out the anguish.

A broken heart will result in private tears too.

Show off!!! Now getting it caught in the door jamb sounds more reasonable. I'll take your well endowed word for it.

Movies, when I was about 12 years old, the movie Ring of Bright Water brought tears to my eyes. Quite embarrassing when you want to come across as a macho young man.

So let's start a new forum, just for the lovers of the oval ball and other real chaps.

seeing my baby daughter for the first time. she was born on the first anniversary of my mothers passing. tears of joy and sadness for obvious reasons.

the march past by all the war veterans at the cenotaph on rememberance sunday.

also visiting the holocaust memorial at yad vashem in jerusalem. the wall of names is a particularly moving experience a long with the hall of rememberance.

holding my dalmation dog (penny) and my cat (taffy) as the vet put them to sleep.

Same as me, but thinking of my mom or looking at pictures of her even now will bring tears to my eyes. I miss her more now than I did right after she died.

Sounds like a bragger, to me.

You think he was playing cards whilst getting his dick jammed in the door ?

Now that is strange......................

He got his schlong caught in the door because he was too busy checking his hand of cards to see where he was going. Now answer this, if he was playing brag and walking through the doorway what was he doing with his schlong out? And, why are we so interested?

Reviewing the other posts - yes, there is one time I was upset enough to shed some tears - at Knightsbridge cemetery outside Tobruk in Libya. There are several cemeteries there, for Brits and for other nations. The Poles, Czechs and French are mainly sharing the other Brit Cemeteries, But Knightsbridge appears to be wholly Brit.

The German cemetery was destroyed, but they have built a new monument in the shape of the outer walls of a fort, with all the inner walls covered in stone name-markers. Very impressive.

Anyway, it was November one year and I had taken a car-full of Poles and Czechs (well, Slovaks, actually) up there for All Souls Day and we had been round some of the sites. On the way back I turned into Knightsbridge, which is a few miles on the Benghazi side of the others, and it really got to me.

There are thousands of gravestones there, row after row of white stones with names, ages and date of death. In this particular cemetery almost all the DoD's are one of three dates. Almost all the ages are under 21. Until you see it and realise what senseless slaughter it must have been, ordered by the REMFs and they receiving their orders from the politicians, you maybe accept that war is a necessity. As this war was caused by one maniac, surely a quick bullet at one of his parades would have sorted things out at an early stage? Any politician who gets above himself should know that there is possibly a bullet waiting for him.

He may well have trained his member to shuffle.

This in its self would be enough to distract most players for a bit of skulduggery methinks.........

No, nothing to brag about this end, it could happen to anyone. You might recall my comments on the thread about penis size, sadly I must have been elsewhere when they were handing out the big guns.........of course size has absolutely nothing to do with where one can jam it.....that really does read wrong, not good, my bad

You are really stuck on this point, arnt ya gazza?

hold on, im not sure that comes accross too well either i mite qwit while im a head.

I write stories. I was writing one about a middle aged Thai whore in Chiang Mai. It had all the elements - birth, death and redemption.

She survives all the crap fate throws at her and comes out on top. It was fiction, mostly.

It was a beautiful story. Tears were streaming down my face as I typed.

She was on the couch, drunk watching me write the story. She never did figure out why I was crying.

Never mind him. You still haven't explained how ( never mind why ) you trained your knob to play cards................

Forgive me for interrupting your pseudo gay S&M babble. It must be some kind of male bonding experience I was not privy to. Must be a British thing.

Carry on discussing your dicks. Cheerio.

What made me cry lying bastard doctor saying you might feel a little sting ! as he stuck a draining needle into my badly bruised left testicle to drain of the blood, still makes my eyes water just thinking about it :jap:
