I haven't liked crying from movies for years, so my recommendations are all pretty old (although many have been suggested):

Beaches (GAH!)
Steel Magnolias
A League of Their Owm (that last scene... Blubber, blubber sputter)

and for a different kind of cry, more the acute pain of what we didn't know we had:
Peggy Sue Got Married

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind - I don't know why exactly but it gets to me.

20 Feet from Stardom - not a sad movie at all but those ladies are so amazing that I cried through the entire thing.

Oh yes, the opening scene from "UP" and there's a similar sweet vignette in the movie "Gnomes".....

Dear Zachary. Actually it's so sad that I don't even think you should watch it. It'll do the trick though.

I cried during the First 10 minutes of Frozen and the first 10 minutes of Up. Yeah I know. [Hangs head]

Worst movie ever. Totally trivializes the Holocaust.



I agree. I stopped it after 25 minutes.


How so? I didn't pick up on that at all.

The Sweet Hereafter. OMG. A busload of children die in a crash, all except for one, who's paralyzed.

The Help, when Abie has to leave her darling "baby" at the end.



-1 for Sweet Hereafter because of underlying child abuse theme

How sad do you want it: Ghandi and Schindler's List or Terms of Endearment?

My DH would suggest Field of Dreams, or the Natural. Anything about a complicated father-son relationship.


Those are totally different movies. Field of Dreams is a masterpiece and a guaranteed man-cry every time. The Natural is an overwrought, overrated, melodramatic piece of crap.
