Sometimes all you need is a good cry. Here is a list of 10 movies that will definitely help open the floodgates.

The Green Mile

The tragic story of an inmate on death row. What makes this movie so tear-jerking is the pure innocence and compassion of the wrongfully imprisoned and executed man.

E.T.

Do we really need to say anything about this one?

The Notebook

A wonderful movie with characters you will fall deeply in love with. The ending is the epitome of happy-sad crying.

Watership Down

I didn’t know it was possible to be brought to tears by a bunch of cartoon rabbits. It’s even more heartbreaking than Bambi.

Lion

2016’s Lion is a phenomenal feature which had us gripped from start to finish. The moment when Sheru is reunited with his mother is beautifully mesmerizing but guaranteed to make you shed a tear.

It’s a Wonderful Life

The perfect movie to sob with a glass (or bottle) of wine to when Christmas time comes around.

Sixth Sense

One of the greatest twists of modern film history, the final revelation left us deliciously heartbroken in this tale of death, loss and love.

Brokeback Mountain

A stunning story of longing and regret. Brokeback Mountain is a movie everyone needs to see at least once.

Up

It might be a movie for kids, but Up had us teary not once, but twice. You know which parts I’m talking about.

A Monster Calls

This beautifully poignant film tells a story of a troubled and lost boy facing the thing he fears the most – the death of his mother. With the help of a large new friend, he works through his pain while ours is just beginning.
