What do you watch when you need a bloody good cry?

For me it's Mamma Mia Here We Go Again. Cheesy, huh? But oh so cathartic. Abba comes on, the cat and the kids scarper, grab a wine, and off we go. . .

I second Truly, Madly, Deeply and Pay it Forward.

Stepmom

I agree with Coco! What a lovely film that was.

Another one for The Notebook! Watched it years and years ago, but remember that I couldn’t stop crying for about 2 hours afterwards!

Genuine question - why do you need a good cry? I don’t generally cry and associate it with being utterly miserable so don’t understand why someone would want to feel like that?
Why wouldn’t you do something to cheer yourself up instead?

Scott and Charlene's wedding

@Charles11, I think a cry can sometimes be cathartic. I have a photo album type thing with messages in it from my parents which always makes me cry, and I sometimes get it out deliberately for that reason.
I don't know what I'd watch to make myself cry though. Maybe that bit in the Office where Tim and Dawn finally get together.

Just been bawling at Emmerdale

Charles crying is good for you!

Because it can be a really good release of emotions - both happy and sad!

Yep i had forgotten Les Miserable! Sobbed like a baby in the theatre too

Les Miserables
Green Mile
Stand by Me
Last 20 mins of Shawshank Redemption
Forrest Gump
West Side Story

If I need a quick cry then I watch soldiers coming home on YouTube. Works every time

Grave of the Fireflies. There is no way you won't be in tears.

Terms of Endearment.

The Railway Children.

Brief Encounter.

Genuine question - why do you need a good cry?

It can be a release of pressure and stress that you can't shift in other ways. You feel much better afterwards.

Brief Encounter.

Anything with children giving a performance. It's the applause at the end.

The film which I was awful at fairly recently was the live action Beauty and the Beast. It was the music and everybody being reunited at the end. It was really embarrassing, but I just couldn't stop!

Stand by me - love it but can barely watch it.

Coco. The ending makes me cry my eyes out every time.

Remains of the Day. All that unrequited love!

Bicentennial Man. Destroys me.

Nell, with Jodie Foster. Brilliant actress.

The notebook or ps i love you. I balled the first time i saw them both.

DIY SOS is a guaranteed tear jerker for me.

I cried my eyes out at Call Me By Your Name and am saving a rewatch for when I need a good wail!
