Stuart Rowe, chief operating officer at Play.com, said: "Most men try to hide their feelings but sometimes you’ve just got to let it out. There’s no shame in having a few tears at a film. A good movie is meant to bring out emotion”.

"But we’ve been surprised by a couple of the choices that made our Top 10, so we want to warn our customers of the films that have the potential to make big boys cry so that they don’t face the embarrassment of breaking down in front of their mates while watching the DVD"
