I need to watch something and cry!

I’ve been dumped by my boyfriend (who’s also a colleague) and am gutted, but also have to go into work tomorrow where everyone will be talking about it.

What can I watch so I can get some of this out?!

I’ve watched the friends reunion this afternoon which has helped slightly, but I need to up the ante now! Any suggestions?

The saddest film I’ve ever seen is brokeback mountain. The last scene makes me ugly cry every time.

Long lost family. Works every time!

Cargo on Netflix. The ending breaks my heart.

I’m making notes……

Can I add a slight amendment and say I need to feel slightly uplifted by it too?

A monster calls is my usual sobbing film (I’m a single parent to a young boy and it’s my worst fear) but it’s too bleak for today I think.

Thank you!

Steel magnolias

Homeward bound. The reunion scene at the end gets me every time.

Life is beautiful?

Do you like animal films? A dogs journey without a doubt will have you sobbing if you are.

DoubleTweenQueen · 13/06/2021 17:22

Testament of Youth - should just about be still available on player

SconeJamCreamEat · 13/06/2021 17:22

Beaches?

DontGoIntoTheLongGrass · 13/06/2021 17:22

What about animation? Up, Inside Out or Coco makes me cry.

Bridge to Terebithia.

PolkadotsAndMoonbeams · 13/06/2021 17:24

Coco

PieonaBarm · 13/06/2021 17:25

Haachi or Marley and Me. Both known in our house as "those films that make me cry"

sunshineandshowers21 · 13/06/2021 17:25

babyteeth. i was in absolute floods when i watched it the other night. it’s on netflix.

WildOrchids67 · 13/06/2021 17:26

War Horse. I saw that at the cinema and quite a lot of people were crying.

If you have time maybe put on some stand up comedy as well. That should lift you up after all the crying is done. I swear it helped me with loneliness during lockdown.

The green mile

orangejuicer · 13/06/2021 17:27

It's a bit different but Bag full of love - Tee and Mo song might so the trick as you have a child (it does for me).

You've got mail?

BikeRunSki · 13/06/2021 17:28

In Her Shoes (film and book)

Big weepy moments, all turns out well in the end.

FionnulaTheCooler · 13/06/2021 17:30

Mamma Mia's "slipping through my fingers" scene always does it for me.
