Okay, let's be honest. Sometimes, you just need a good cry. It's like hitting a reset button for your soul.
But scrolling through endless movies? No one has time for that! So, I've compiled a list. Get ready to feel all the feels.
The Classics: Guaranteed Waterworks
First up, The Lion King. Mufasa’s death still gets me. Even though I KNOW it's coming!
Then there’s Titanic. Rose could have totally made room on that door. Unpopular opinion, I know.
And let’s not forget Bambi. Seriously, Disney, why you gotta do us like that?
Unexpected Tearjerkers
Don’t underestimate Toy Story 3. That incinerator scene? Gut-wrenching!
I dare you to watch Up without tearing up in the first 10 minutes. Double dog dare!
Even Paddington 2 snuck in some emotional moments. Who knew a bear in a marmalade sandwich could make me cry?
Romance That Rips Your Heart Out
The Notebook, obviously. "If you’re a bird, I’m a bird!" *sobs*
A Walk to Remember? Mandy Moore, you angel of sadness. You got me good.
And let’s give a shout-out to P.S. I Love You. Gerard Butler singing "Galway Girl"? Bawling.
For When You Need a Good Ugly Cry
My Girl. Thomas J! You guys remember that scene? I can't even.
The Fault in Our Stars. Prepare for an emotional rollercoaster. Tissues required.
And if you're feeling particularly brave, try Manchester by the Sea. Be warned: it's a heavy one.
The "I'm Not Crying, You're Crying" Movies
Forrest Gump. “Run, Forrest, run!” And run straight into my tear ducts.
Good Will Hunting. “It’s not your fault." Yeah, well, it feels like it is!
Let's not forget Dead Poets Society. O Captain! My Captain! *wipes away tears*
The "Maybe Just a Little Tear" Movies
Okay, these might not be *full-on* cry-fests. But they have their moments.
Think Love Actually. Specifically, Andrew Lincoln’s doorstep scene. Unrequited love gets me every time.
And About Time? Such a sweet and heartwarming movie. But those father-son moments? Gets me every time.
Bonus: The Ones That Sneak Up On You
Sometimes, it's the unexpected ones that hit hardest. Like, who knew Coco could be so emotional?
Or Big Fish? A whimsical tale with a surprisingly poignant ending.
And don’t even get me started on Inside Out. Talking emotions? Crying!
So, there you have it! My completely subjective list of movies to watch when you need a good cry. Grab your popcorn, your tissues, and maybe a friend. Happy crying!
