What do you watch when you need a good cry?

[pokerface]

Lifetime did a recent remake of Beachss and while I think that is a tragedy and would not watch it, the commercials for it made me tear up. So definitely Beaches.

Up Close and Personal
My Girl
The Rookie
Legends of the Fall

For a movie- Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

If you need a quick fix- watch videos of dogs greeting their owners who return from overseas, I always cry at these.

Ok, funny story.

My friend was pregnant and her H was out of town with some friends. He called to check on her and she was BAWLING. He started to freak out, thinking he needed to come home ASAP.

No, she was just watching endless videos of soldiers coming home and surprising their families. He was like, "Oh, so you're doing this to yourself?" And she was like, ":sob sob: yeaaaaaaas and I can't stooooooop!!!" 

[berbles]

The "Jurassic Bark" episode of Futurama.

[cabbagecabbage]

Shawshank Redemption
My Girl

If I can't handle something heavy, Undercover Boss. I swear I bawl like an infant every single time.

[TR]

All of the above plus the last 5 minutes of Six Feet Under.

[berbles]

Surprise pregnancy announcements are my kryptonite.

[Deleted]

Stepmom!! and Steel Magnolia (oldie but goodie)

[circa1978]

Steel Magnolias every time. I get even more worked up when I remember it's based on a true story.

Even this gif makes me verklempt.

[So_Fetch]

A Walk to Remember
Hope Floats
Steel Magnolias
Where the heart is

[sparkythelawyer]

Philadelphia - the scene at the end where they are playing all the home videos from when he was a little boy.

I refused to watch "The Fault in Our Stars" because the book itself made me ugly cry so damn hard. So there's that.

[Champagne Supernova]

The Fault in Our Stars and Me Before You

And any animal movies, really. Homeward Bound movies still make me cry.

[litskispeciality]

Oh yes My Girl and The Notebook - with the bonus of Ryan Gosseling without his shirt on.

Me Before You (the movie and book)
Toy Story 3 (the end is bitter sweet)

Yes me too! I saw the first part on the plane to Amsterdamn, never finished because I know where it goes.

I've only seen part of Philadelphia, but the part where they're slow dancing...and then the phone call at the end. I can't watch the whole thing.

I won't watch Marley and Me because I know how it ends. That one's supposed to be an ugly cry.

[alexithymia]

Pet movies get me. Marley and Me will have me sobbing like a fool. H and I watched Homeward Bound on Netflix the other day, and both of us were bawling when Shadow couldn't get out of the hole.

[kitkat1502]

Oh....forgot this one:
Life is Beautiful

It's in Italian with subtitles but OMG. The part where Guido plays the song over the loud speaker for Dora and then the ending.

[snipsnsnails]

Still Alice

[verycontrary247]

Wuthering Heights

Or any movie where a dog dies

[zoomzoom]

When a Man Loves a Woman
Say Anything
Sea Biscuit

And pretty much any movie that involves harming animals. The beginning of John Wick? Omg.

[flex]

I don't seek out movies just to make me cry, but I do remember the last ugly cry I had after DH passed away. It was three months after HE had died and I watched Field of Dreams in its entirety for the very first time. I completely lost my shit when it got to the part towards the end where Kevin Costner gets to see and speak to his dad when he was in his youth. I cried for quite some time because Costner got to see his dad one more time, but I didn't get to see DH one last time.

I blubbered "It isn't fair!!" several times during the ugly cry. That sobbing episode WAS was cathartic for me as it was the last of the ugly cries over DH's death.

[hisno1girl]

Any episode of Parenthood.

YT videos

Toy Story

Basically everything makes me cry lately.

I cry so rarely I might be part sociopath.  But those two get me every.  time.

Also, the book "A View From Saturday" made me cry as it totally reminded me of being the picked on kid on the schoolyard growing up, but I'll blame the well over half a bottle of wine involved :-)

[rageragerage]

Okay so if you come across In America it will 100% make you sob.

This is one of my favorite movies of all time.

[Bernadine]

I'm not a crier, but Man on Fire had me sobbing. Steel Magnolias gets me, too.

Dear John had me crying like a baby
A Walk to Remember
The Fault in Our Stars
Dead Poet's Society

I didn't cry much during "If I Stay" but I think that could do it

I had to stop watching "This is Us" because we put my cat to sleep and that show is just so sad I cried lot. If you stick with it you'll ugly cry.

Edit: If you like to read, check out The Nightengale. I shed tears at the end of that book.

Dear lord, this. By the end of reading this, I was ugly crying so hard that I think I was legit worrying my dogs...

Also, I don't know why, but my go-to cry is the movie version of Rent. I watch it 2-4 times per year when I'm in need of a good cathartic cry. Always does the trick. 

[nahoku]

I hope you're feeling better after your cry, loonylunalovegood!

I think most of my go to crying movies/shows have already been mentioned - the last HP movie, any Parenthood episode, Up, Little Women.

[Deleted]

A lot of the football movies:

The Blind Side, especially when LeeAnn asks Mike why he's going to the gym (because it's warm) and when he tells her he's never had not just a room, but a bed, of his own.

We Are Marshall - too many to count but one that stands out is when the WVa players turn to leave the room where the Marshall coaches are watching their film and we see the Marshall crosses on the back of their helmets.

Radio, Rudy...

Schindler's List - so many scenes, but that one that ALWAYS gets me is when Liam Neeson's Oskar Schindler breaks down at the end with his "I could have done more" scene.

Terms of Endearment - when Emma says goodbye to the boys.

Ghost, especially since Patrick Swayze's death

For TV, lately, the last few episodes of Nashville with Rayna's death and aftermath.

[blondemoment123]

Marley and Me.

[closertofine]

Steel Magnolias
The Notebook

Glory...the music is what ultimately does me in.
