Good films to 'ugly cry' to

[apple1992]

There is something really cathartic about a good, sad film.

Any recommendations?

Nothing beats Steel Magnolias. Sally Field loosing it gets me every bloody time. But, conversely, Olympia Dukakas telling her to hit Shirley MacLean is one of the funniest bits of film ever.

My Sisters Keeper, Beaches, My Life, A little piece of Heaven, Marley and Me.

[BubsAndMoo]

Marley & Me. I cried reading the book first. Probably doesn't work if you're a dog person.

P.S. I Love You
The Fault In Our Stars
Forrest Gump

[Fairylea]

I just started to watch Room tonight and had to turn it off! I was bawling after the first 20 minutes!

Ended up renting the good dinosaur instead to cheer myself up!

*doesnt work if you're NOT a dog person

[MrsJayy]

Oh I am Sam is briliant i sobbed all the way through it sean penn is fabulous

[Howaboutthisone]

Up! I watched it in the cinema as an attempt at a brief distraction from sitting at my grandad's hospital bed. Thought it would be a safe choice. I had to leave to go to the loos as I was sobbing so loudly.
The Jennifer Anniston one with the dog.
One day.
My sisters keeper had me sobbing in book form but not film.

[Howaboutthisone]

Marley and me- that's what it's called!

[YorkieDorkie]

Les Mis. Cried a stupid amount!

[MrsJayy]

I WALKED out of the cinema at marley and me to compose myself

[Ginmakesitallok]

I dare you not to weep

[SharonBottsPoundOfGrapes]

I watched Monsters Ball recently. That was so sad. The boy who plays Halle Berrys son was so good in that role.

The color purple.
Million Dollar Baby
Precious. Mariah Carey was great.

[sparechange]

Precious. It is brutal but excellent

Marley and me

[sparechange]

And Monster. Charlize Theron is amazing

[hugoagogo]

Oh yes Haachi and I was going to say The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, sobbed my heart out to that.

[MrsJayy]

Schindlers list had me proper crying ive seen it a tonne of times but alway cry

[bearleftmonkeyright]

Million Dollar Baby. When Clint Eastwood explains what mo cudhlie means, oh my god I blubbed and cried so much.

[MrsJayy]

Precious is heartbreaking

[APlaceOnTheCouch]

I always cry at the montage at the start of Up but for an emotionally devastating animation, it has to be How to Train Your Dragon 2. I sobbed in the cinema.

Otherwise Beaches; Who Will Love My Children? ; It's a Wonderful Life (no matter how many times I watch it).

[Finallyonboard]

The Painted Veil on Netflix. I cried and cried.

[Roobix04]

Armageddon always gets me! And when I was a kid the 90's version of A Little Princess made me just sob and sob!

[Bert2e]

Truly, Madly, Deeply - sobbed like a baby!

[MrsJayy]

Oh who will love my children

[WyldChyld]

The Green Mile, absolutely!! I howl at the film every time... and the book... "like the drink only not spelled the same". Welling up even at that!

[Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost]

Marley and me. At the end, trust me. You'll sob. It's about the unconditional love you get from a dog.
