Why in the hell do women voluntarily watch movies they know going to make them cry? I just don't understand it. My wife actually seeks out these kinds of movies.
Do you mean to say that you've never watched WHERE THE RED FERN GROWS?
The 1974 original starred Beverly Garland as the sweet farm wife and mother, and when she was sliding around on the soapy floor after the dogs ran through the house I thought to myself, "Ol' Walt Disney shore knows how to do subliminal soft porn!"
The 2003 remake starred Dave Matthews and I was surprised that it had the same absurd plot detail where the boy would chop down every tree that had a coon in it, instead of knocking the critter out with a .22 rifle of course. Disney couldn't show THAT but, can you imagine chopping down a twelve inch diameter tree with a hatchet AND returning at daybreak with three or four coons in the bag? That was just plain silly, but with that little suspension of disbelief it's a real tear jerker for boys, just like the 1957 classic, Old Yeller.
Yeah, sometimes after a hard day of hunting, 4 wheeling, log rolling and gator wrestling, me and the boys just like to rent the movie LOVE STORY and have a real good cry.

My idea of a good "tear jerker" is "The Cowboys" or "Rooster Cogburn", but then I'm jes' a po' country boy at heart. ;-)
You did have to mention Old Yeller didn't you? Now, I've got a very unmanly tear running down. I loved that movie as a kid. Still do for that matter. Reminds me of my own boyhood friend, Rags, growing up. He was the bestest dog that ever lived.
