Line 208:
* ''[[On Her Majesty's Secret Service]]'': after Blofeld and his crony kill [[James Bond]]'s wife. There were two takes of the scene: the one ''without'' actual tears was chosen.
* Matthew McConaughey's defense summation in ''[[A Time to Kill]]''; [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7f-BgDgpmE done in one take.] The tears were genuine and ''unscripted.''
* Aragorn from ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'', after seeing how Merry and Pippin were apparently caught up in the Rohirrim's slaughter of Uruk-Hai, furiously kicks a helm, and collapses in tears after seeing how his friends were apparently killed. [[Throw It In|Viggo Mortensen broke two toes when he kicked the helm and actually collapsed in pain, but used it; Peter Jackson thought it looked appropriate]]. He does cry in the book (and the extended edition) immediately after Boromir's death. Most Middle-Earth societies don't have such a taboo against men crying, and there are many instances of manly men weeping.
** Éomer cries desperately when he discovers {{spoiler|Éowyn's}} body on the battle field and then goes on a rampage, making this also an example of [[Berserker Tears]].
** Theoden in front of Theodred's barrow.
