A guy-cry film is a film that generally addresses a male audience, but has strong emotional material.〔() MSN Entertainment, by Richard T. Jameson, "The Big Guy Cry", accessed 02-19-2009〕〔() Fox News, by Amber Milt (Amber Milt), "The Guy Cry Genre: Chick Flicks for Men", accessed 02-19-2009〕 Sports films are important to the guy-cry genre, but sports action is not necessarily essential to qualify a film as a genuine guy-cry.〔〔 War movies and biographical films of a male character tend to also be guy-cry films.〔〔 Some notable films that could be defined as guy-cry would be ''Field of Dreams'', ''Rudy'', ''Brian's Song'', ''The Best Years of Our Lives'' and ''The Wrestler''.〔〔 ''Guy-cry'' is a neologism applied to a pre-existing type of film.〔〔〔() ''Chicago Tribune'', by John Kass (April 13, 2007), "Reel Guys: Not a dry 'I' in the house.", accessed 02-19-2009〕 This is mainly due to the financial and often critical successes of films that fall within this genre.〔〔 Early popular guy-cry films date back to the early 1970s with films such as ''Five Easy Pieces'' and ''One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest''.〔〔 Important themes to the guy-cry genre are concepts of brotherhood, sacrifice, loyalty, and family.〔〔 ''The Oregonian'' compiled a list of "films that make men cry",〔() ''The Oregonian'' (June 12, 2008), "Sad scenes: Movies that make a guy cry", accessed 02-19-2009〕 that includes ''Saving Private Ryan'', ''Schindler's List'', and ''The Passion of the Christ'', among many others. Although guy-cry films are typically live action films, some animated films such as ''Snoopy, Come Home'' and ''Toy Story 3'' have been described as such.〔 == Popular guy-cry films == In 2005, ''Entertainment Weekly'' ran a reader poll of the top guy-cry films.〔() ''Entertainment Weekly'', "Reader Picks: Movies That Make Grown Men Cry", accessed 02-19-2009〕 Their choices were as follows: #''The Shawshank Redemption'' #''Armageddon'' #(3-way tie—"Chick Flicks") ''Terms of Endearment''; ''Love Story''; ''Steel Magnolias'' #''Field of Dreams'' #(4-way tie—"Movies with Dogs") ''My Dog Skip''; ''Snoopy, Come Home''; ''Old Yeller''; ''Where the Red Fern Grows'' #''Good Will Hunting'' #''Brian's Song'' #''Big Fish'' #''Backdraft'' #''Hoosiers'' #''Saving Private Ryan'' #''Dead Poets Society'' #''Hotel Rwanda'' #''Turner and Hooch'' #''Field of Dreams'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Guy-cry film」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
