It Takes a Big Man to Cry, It Takes a Bigger Man to Laugh at the Crying Man



Alright investors, entrepneurs, listen up.  I've got an idea for a TV network for an under-recognized population:  The sensitive man.  Men will occassionally need extra encouragement from society to get in touch with their emotions so to speak.  What better way to access those feelings and emotions than a form of media that's already socially acceptable to feel vicariously through the characters?  The sensitive man is out there.  In fact according to scrubs (Season 5 episode 21) there's a name for it:

Sensy

Anyway what would a lifetime channel for men be called?  What would it air?  I at least have some suggestions for the latter question.  Some movies and television shows that it is perfectly acceptable to tear up.

  1. Rudy
  2. Old yeller
  3. Saving Private Ryan
  4. The Shawshank Redemption
  5. Armaggedon
  6. Brian's Song
  7. Rocky
  8. Braveheart (everybody loves a martyr and a pre-crazy Mel Gibson)
  9. Rain man
  10. Remember The Titans
  11. I Am Legend
Honorable mention to Top Gun when Goose dies.  These films aren't in any particular order.  Additions?

Also I'm struggling to decide which is better:  Paul Newman's movies or his coffee.  I got his coffee in front by a stride or two.
