I need a good crying film

I've just watched A Star Is Born (Bradley Cooper version) and it's made me a bit weepy, I need a good cry to get it out, what shall I watch?

Coincidentally I just found out Kris Kristofferson died a few days ago, which I wasn't expecting to read when googling information about the film I was watching.

The Green Mile or My Sisters Keeper.

I always watch Armageddon for a good cry but it’s a bit old now!

Seven Pounds. I BAWLED

Apparently Marley and me is a weepy. Personally I'd have throttled that dog long before the end.

Pay it forward has husband in a heap.

The green mile

Marley would have been better trained in my house

Lion.

Jesus Christ.

I bawled.

Dc bawled even more (13 and 11 at the time, not entirely sure it was appropriate for them with hindsight 😬).

Dh welled up - absolutely unheard of for dh who has never cried at any film in his life.

Me before You - I SOB every time! Great film to cry to!

candlewhickgreen · 01/10/2024 20:38

Beaches
Million Dollar Baby

FeelinSpendy · 01/10/2024 20:39

Beaches, every time!

GoldenNuggets08 · 01/10/2024 20:39

The Fault In Our Stars had me in convulsions of tears

Ilovemyshed · 01/10/2024 20:40

Warhorse. The walk of shame out of the cinema after that one was so embarrassing.

Lion

Definitely a weeper!

RoaryLion1 · 01/10/2024 20:41

Interstellar - the bit where he’s watching videos of his kids growing up. I was full-on sobbing in the cinema, DH was mortified!

Diversion · 01/10/2024 20:43

Perhaps just me, but Braveheart, especially the bit at the end 😭

I loved Lion.

One that really made me cry was Young@heart brilliant documentary film. Very sweet as well.
Im not sure I could watch it again!

Kramer Vs Kramer

Onemonthatatime · 01/10/2024 20:52

Oh and one of my favourite films ever Grave of the Fireflies.

StressedQueen · 01/10/2024 20:52

Five Feet Apart
Aftersun
All The Bright Places
My Girl

I also agree with The Fault In Our Stars and Me Before You - so sad.
