Crying Scenes Directory 2.0, -MALE
Since the original thread has reached over 100 pages, I'm starting a new Directory thread just for male scenes. I'm going to be posting links to all comments in the previous thread so we don't have to sift through the whole thing just for the male scenes.
yellowrose's TVTropes link:
There are several other crying tropes pages listed on this page. It's a user-edited site, so sometimes the lists have something new added. (Yes, I have occasionally contributed.)
Page 1
Clive Owen in Trust
Hugh Jackman in X-Men 2 and 3, near the end. It's harder to see and more restrained than his crying in his more dramatic roles.
Page 2
Leonardo DiCaprio in Shutter Island
Page 3
Robert Carlyle in the movie "Marilyn Hotchkiss' Ballroom Dancing and Charm School"
Michael Fassbender in A Dangerous Method
Page 4
Jude Law in Alfie and Robert Downey Jr in Two Girls and a Guy
Page 6

Guys crying on Vampire Diaries
Page 7

I closed the old thread. If and when someone wants to start a female crying directory, just start a new thread, and I will pin it up. Cheers.
Ugly crying is pretty crying
