So you're watching a movie with your significant other, the homies, or maybe even the family... There comes a scene in which you find your inner toughness slowly exiting your body. The inner emotional guy in you is fighting his way to the top, overcoming the masculinity that has controlled your body for your entire life. That's right, it's happening... the movie has SOMEHOW knocked down that manly wall of toughness. Every man is different, certain movies spark certain emotions in a man-whether it's his love for animals, relativity to his personal life, or damnit sometimes-A MOVIE IS JUST SAD! When that one scene makes your heart skip a beat, makes your eyes get watery and you start to get a strange feeling... That my friend, is known as a Man Tear. You attempt to swipe it discretely so no one will see it fall and pretend your eye is itching and you have the sniffles. It's the Cave, so let's be honest here... Men have emotional layers, "WE ARE LIKE ONIONS" (Shrek).. The average man does not want to admit that things make him sad. We hate to admit we get emotional and cry. ESPECIALLY at something on a movie that's not even real. But hey, IT HAPPENS. The Cave has created a list of movies in which a Man Tear is allowed. Notice the verbiage, "A MAN TEAR"... singular... one tear... THAT'S ALL YOU GET IN THE CAVE! If two or more tears fall, you will be asked to leave the cave... leave the beer... leave your Man Card... and don't come back until you have Purified your Kahunas in the waters of Lake of Minnetonka! I hope you enjoy the list! But I warn you, hold your Man Tear back as you read and watch the clips... it might take you to a sad place that all men fear!
Man Cave Verdict: 1 Man Tear per Sad Manly Movie. Any tears to "Titanic", "The Notebook", or "A Walk to Remember" is automatic Man Cave Probation!

10. a time to kill
As you watch this clip.. Try to hold back the Man Tear of anger. Matthew Mconnohauy brought tears to the entire court room and earned this movie the #10 spot. #ManTearWorthy
9. lone survivor
This is a Great Amercian story of American Heores. The death of these three men and survival of Marcus Luttrell (played by Mark Whalberg) will always remembered as a #ManClassic!! #ManTearWorthy
8. iron giant
Beware as you watch this clip, it might take you back to a part of your childhood which you do not want to enter again. This was simply SAD. A great and noble sacrifice to save his best friend and the civilians of the city. Definitely #ManTearWorthy
7. boyz n da hood
One word... "RIIICCKKYYYY", say that name in a loud pitched voice and I'm sure everyone will know what you are referencing to. Boyz n the Hood was a 90's classic and the death of Ricky will never be forgotten! #ManTearWorthy
6. AMerican sniper
Once again, another American Hero story whose life will be remembered and honored. If your heart wasn't racing in the scene of his final mission, or a man tear form on the clips of his funeral.. then maybe the Cave is not the place for you. Chris Kyle, the cave salutes you. #ManTearWorthy
5. 7 pounds
This was just too much. Will Smith is a favorite actor of many men, but this COD was just inhumane! A box-jellyfish? It doesn't get any worse! Not to mention the movie referring back to the death of his wife during his death struggle. Sad... just sad. #ManTearWorthy
4.saving private ryan
From the death of Medic Wade, to Captain Miller, to Private Jackson.. This movie never stopped with tear dropping scenes. How must one choose which scene is tear worthy? Tough life in the day of man.. Definitely a War Movie Classic. #ManTearWorthy
3. armageddon
Bruce? Bruce Willis? NOT BRUCE! Bruce Willis' goodbye to his daughter, friends, and NASA is arguably the deepest Manly Farewells in the history of Manly Farewells. So to the nosey woman of the day... "Take care of AJ for me." #ManTearWorthy
2. i am legend
Due to Cave Rules, the Cave is not allowed to post direct pictures or videos clips of the death of Man's best friend. With that being said, this will be all that you get to see of this sad day in Man Cave Animal History . I'm sure you're thinking-"They put the death of the dog over Will Smith? his wife? and his kid?"
Man Cave's answer: HELL YES!!
It's a dog! Men don't take dogs dying well... PERIOD. No if's. No but's. That's it. It has been proposed that one be allowed to drop Two Man Tears during this scene, results from the Man Court will be provided soon.
But, to say the least... #ManTearWorthy

1. Lion King
Where do I start......
This is.. and shall be.. the SADDEST Manly scene to ever touch the screen. I truly wonder what sick man wrote this story, and why is it rated G? This caused the depression of 24,398 kids in 1994 and some are still recovering today (5/6 of the Man Cave Agents are still taking treatments). Killed by your own brother, all for power and greed..... S.M.H! So, if you have a brother, don't push him off of any ledges or mountain peaks anytime soon. If you have a father, give him a Man Hug!
