Need a good cry. What should I watch?

[turquoisepagentry]

Need to get some emotions out and have a good cry, ideally with a film (or series?) that ends up at least slightly uplifting so that I'm not totally depressed afterwards.
Any suggestions?!
I'll be watching alone so needn't be child-friendly. No other requirements, just needs to let me get a lot of stuck tears out. Thank you!

Absolute killer!

If you’ve watched Buffy before, I’d watch “The Body” episode or “The Gift” if I need a good cry.

Grey’s Anatomy is always great for a cry too!

Shorter series - Firefly Lane. OMG I sobbed at that one (it’s only 2 seasons).

Films - Someone mentioned the Hunt for the Wildepeople and I second that. Completely forgot about it but I remember how great it ended up being! Also agree with Marley and Me.

A Dog’s Journey had me crying so, so hard but also has a lovely ending. Apparently it’s the sequel to A Dog’s Purpose. I imagine the first will be equally upsetting!

Goodbye Mr Chips with Martin Clunes made me cry the other day.

Imitation of life. Oldie but goodie

Steel Magnolias - an oldie but a good one

Grave of the Fireflies is on Netflix I think. It's heartbreaking 😭

Life is Beautiful.

It's a sin

You will laugh as much as you cry !

Goodbye June was beautifully done.

It depicts the subject matter really well. Johnny Glynn and Toni Collette are marvellous, as is Helen Mirren.

Small Things Like These is an amazing film. Also Anxious People (series on Netflix) which is uplifting and emotional but also very funny.

This Is Us if you fancy a series.

Such a great story, so many happy and sad elements about families, life, raising children, being teenagers and the changing relationships with aging parents etc. Human flaws.

Had me in absolute floods many times.

I have the coldest black heart, so if a film makes me cry, you know it’s bad.
The ‘Baby Mine’ song in Dumbo just does me in. 😭

The Sade song ‘Right By Your Side’ just kills me.

There appears to be a lump in my throat.

Nothing to do with you mentioning The Railway Children, of course!

Goodbye June is absolutely brilliant, DH and I were both sobbing which is absolutely what we needed.

Lion. You will need two boxes of tissues. I literally (and I am using the word literally correctly here) soaked my way through five packets of travel tissues when I watched it ona plane. You start sobbing near the start and never stop. Some of it is happy crying.

The saddest film I have ever seen is Manchester By the Sea. Definitely a grown up film. Very low key. It is just about a man who simply can't get over a tragedy. Other people move on but he can't. And the tragic impact it has on someone else is heartbreaking.

About Time is a gorgeous film but it is ultimately so happy, it no longer makes me cry. Seen it several times, though. It probably would make you cry the first few times.

Beaches. It's very manipulative at pressing the buttons to make you cry, but it still works.

An old B&W with Cary Grant: Penny Serenade. Also Imitation of Life (2nd one I think).

One of my favourite movies!
currwntly watching Erin Brockovich … think that’s a bit of a tear jerker …. Also Steel Magnolias and Terms of endearment

The newest Bridget Jones film. Very sad in places but with a happy ending.

PM question time ?

I never cry at anything but this got to me on such a level that's very unusual for a TV show. Sometimes I felt like they were saying exactly what I wanted to say. I felt like so much related to me it was freakish but I've heard others say the same. You'll cry but also feel happy.

Oh I miss the laugh emoji.

Forests Gump - cry all the way through this on first viewing

My heart broke at this

Yesterday’s children with Jane Seymour - it’s on Amazon Prime. Absolute tearjerker.
