Films to cry to

[climbelon]

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

Beaches
Prince of Tides
The way we Were
SteelMagnolias
Terms of Endearment
Step Mom
The King and I
Roman Holiday
The bridges of Madison County
White Christmas (even my teen GD cries)

Another vote for Up (first 5 mins, and then again at the end)

The Railway Children
Empire of the Sun

@climbelon why do you need a good cry?
Do you want to offload on here?

Definitely Lion. I avoid films like this usually. But it is lovely.

Million dollar baby

The Colour Purple
The Champ

Oh my goodness Warhorse - haven’t seen the film but the stage version affected me more deeply than anything I have ever experienced. I was sobbing & shaking at the end & DH didn’t know what to do!
The Railway Children gets me everytime
Lassie Come Home

Truly madly deeply

A monster calls - there was sniffing and sobs throughout the cinema when I went to watch this. I hadn’t realised what it was about and went with DH, whose mum had sadly died of breast cancer when he was young 😢

Les Mis , always makes me cry.

Not Marley abs Me. That's the wrong sort of crying for me.

Miss you already
Imitation of life (old but heartbreaking)
Also bizarrely Jojo rabbit which is a comedy but there's a scene so devastating my DH had to stop the film and just hold me as I cried.

Last Christmas - I think it’s on Netflix now if you have it. ❤️

Steel Magnolias definitely. There’s a certain point where I start crying and I just don’t stop ‘til the end.
Lion, I pretty much cried through the whole thing. Just thinking about it makes me feel teary.
My Life Without Me
An Affair to Remember (v. old now)
A Star is Born (the Judy Garland, James Mason version)

Manchester by the Sea

Shadowlands

Breaking the Waves

Imitation of Life is an amazing film - my friends and I have talked about it often.
JoJo Rabbit was a great film too.

The Artist.

Don't watch Hatchi, it's great but traumatising

Beaches & Bicentennial Man. They get me every time!

Crikey yes. I wasn't prepared for how sad it would be.

All of us strangers is a tough watch as well.

And my so sad I can't watch it again film, Philadelphia.

If you like Downton Abbey type things then definitely The Duchess. It's a true story!

I'm not a Keira Knightly fan but have to say she was excellent in this.

I was a sobbing wreck at the end.

I went on a first date to see war horse in the cinema. Would not recommend sobbing hysterically as a way of making a good first impression!

About time is my go to crying film

P.s I love you

Hope Floats - I seriously thought I would have to leave the cinema as I was sobbing so much and couldn't take much more

Also bizarrely Jojo rabbit which is a comedy but there's a scene so devastating my DH had to stop the film and just hold me as I cried.*

Yes I loved this movie but my goodness that scene was so sad.

Steel Magnolias. Since I read that the writer based it on his sisters life (and death) it makes me cry all the more
