10 Tear-Jerking Moments In Incredibly Macho Movies

4. "Addrriaaan!" - Rocky

Rocky AdrianThe Movie: In this classic rag to riches story, Sylvester Stallone's loveable hero is given a one in a million shot; the chance to take on undefeated World Heavyweight Champion Apollo Creed. He doesn't stand a chance, he knows it, everyone else knows it, but he just wants the opportunity to go the distance and prove he "ain't no bum." Tear Jerker Moment: The Italian Stallion gets through 15 rounds of gruelling punishment on pure heart and achieves his dream, but at that point all he cares about is being in love. His wails descend into unintelligible noise, but it doesn't matter to the audience who are all fist-pumping and teary eyed at the sight of Rocky and Adrian hugging it out. Way to go, Rock!
