3. Hayden Christensen (Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith)
During the final showdown battle between Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker in the final installment in the new Star Wars trilogy, Obi-Wan strikes Anakin down, leaving Anakin to die right on the bank of a volcano. The lava rises up and reaches Anakin’s legs and he catches fire, screaming and crying in pain as he is burned alive. This is arguably one of the most disturbing scenes in PG-13 movie history but is also one of the greatest male crying scenes of all time because it marks the beginning of Darth Vader, who is one of the greatest movie villains of all time. The acting may not have been top-notch, but it is hard to argue that this crying scene is not important in movie history.
