100 Greatest TearJerkers

From Channel 4.com:

"Women watch out! You are not the only ones shedding a tear over the sad moments on screen. Many men now also admit to enjoying a good sob too!

According to the "Kleenex® For Men Crying Game Report" more men actually shed a tear over sad moments in film and TV (44%) than over the break up of a romance or relationship (39%).<o:p></o:p>

So, we've chosen the eight moments from Channel 4's 100 Greatest Tearjerkers that we think would be most likely to reduce even the hardest man to tears.<o:p>
</o:p>


Peter Marsh, psychologist and co-author of the Crying Game report states, "Sad moments in films and TV act as 'triggers' that allow men to release 'stored up' emotions, connected with events or experiences in their own lives." <o:p></o:p>

We reckon that even the hardest geezers around won't be able to get through 100 Greatest Tearjerkers without the aid of a box of Kleenex® For Men!"

That Cold Feet finale was the most moving thing I've ever seen. When Adam said he could still see Rachel and those who couldn't only had to look at their son Matt, my brother David and I were sobbing.

I loved the tear - jerking finale of Cold Feet - especially that gut wrenching scene where young Matt started crawling and Adam realised Rachel wasn't there to see it. Jimmy Nesbitt acted his socks off in that scene. A truly heartbreaking scene.
