Thanks so much for sharing all these amazing clips!

When I was about 13 or so I was completely obsessed with Dead Poets Society -- I recorded it off the TV and I used to watch that scene over and over again, despite having absolutely no idea why I liked it so much.  

Also: Squonk posted this nice male-male comforting scene from Burnt a few months ago.

The scene from Dead Poets Society I always liked (and it's been years since I've seen the movie, so my memory is a bit faulty), is the one where Robin Williams' character invites Ethan Hawke's character to speak with him in his office; I think they drink tea together or something like that.  I just remember that scene as being very warm and nice, even though it has no crying in it. 


 

Definitely try the TV show M*A*S*H.  I can't think of any episode names, but it's a mostly male cast, and they definitely have some emotional scenes

Here's one I've known for a long time but forgot about when making my original post; the only thing is, the man being comforted is frightened rather than crying.  The scene is from the Jeremy Brett "Sherlock Holmes" film The Hound of the Baskervilles.  You'll want to go to 4:21 to give a bit of context to the comforting moment, which starts at about 4:34:

Squonk:  Normally, Daniel Craig doesn't "do much" for me, but that scene from Defiance was very affecting, particularly the moment when he kisses Schreiber on the forehead.  I also like the way he rocks him back and forth.  I probably would love the scene even more had a different actor been playing Craig's part...but, seriously, this was great.

Here's the Reservoir Dogs scene (actually two scenes).  
I was never sure whether to include this as a "crying" scene as Tim Roth doesn't really produce tears, but the emotion is certainly there.  This has to be the most realistic depiction of what it's like to be shot that I've ever seen on screen.  And Harvey Keitel's efforts to comfort him makes this the most tender scene between armed robbers ever.  
Anyway, it's a genius performance from Roth throughout the film.  I became obsessed with him after seeing this in 1992.
