Films to cry to

[climbelon]

I have a few hours to myself tomorrow and need a good cry. Any film recommendations?

Me Before You - Emilia Clarke plays a 20
something desperate for a job, who becomes a carer/companion to Will, a 30 something who was made paraplegic in a traffic accident.

Steel Magnolias
My Sister's Keeper
First Knight
A Little Princess
The Secret Garden
Black Beauty

The Green Mile.

Schindler's List - nothing like knowing it's real for making me cry.

As PP - The Green Mile, watched it the other week and absolutely sobbed 😄

Hachiko with Richard Gere
Grave of the Fireflies

Second vote for Haatchi with Richard Gere... Howled so much!!!

Came here to say this! A guaranteed cry every time.

A Monster Calls, A Man called otto, About Time

Stepmom with Susan Sarandon and Julia Roberts. It’s my go to for a good weep, or Marley and Me.

Beaches!

Lion. I started crying at the beginning and didn't stop all the way through. Literally soaked through 3 packets of tissues. Also a true and beautiful story.

Beaches

Me Before You absolutely broke me- the lady sat next to me in the cinema was handing me tissues and gave me a hug at the end 😂

Marley & Me if you're an animal lover will make you sob.

Sophies Choice

Remains of The Day
Beaches

One Life. Saw it at the cinema no one in there wasn’t crying at the end

First 5 minutes of Up.
The therapy session in Good Will Hunting.

I've always wanted to read the book (have seen the film). 2025 goal!

Quite a few of us have watched The Green Mile then

Pixar’s Coco.

I wouldn’t watch Sophie’s choice again. It’s not so much sad as traumatic. And quite a weird film.

Agree The Green Mile
Of Mice & Men
The Lion King

I can't think of any others off the top of my head but there's probably loads more I've sobbed watching.

Warhorse

Another vote for hatchiko (not sure of the spelling) with Richard gere. Watched it closely together with marley and Me and now cannot watch films with animals anymore!!! I start crying before they even start properly!!!!!

Terms of Endearment
Love Story
A Man and a Woman

All very old now, but all will have you in floods.
