If you’re experiencing one of those days where nothing is going right, let it all out with a good cry. Trust us, you’ll feel a wave of relief after you release your stress and anxiety with some tears.
So grab a box of tissues, a giant tub of ice cream, and cozy up on the couch with your softest blanket because these 10 films are sure to open up the floodgates.
A Walk to Remember
If you love Mandy Moore in This Is Us, you’ll love her as Jamie in this film as her school’s popular bad boy Landon slowly begins to fall in love with her. Will fate bring them together or will it just be another tragic love story?
Remember Me
Robert Pattinson (yes, he can do more than sparkle as a vampire) portrays Tyler, a rather troubled young man who has a tense relationship with his father. He eventually meets sweet Ally who helps him open up and discover love.
The Boy in the Striped Pajamas
This film takes place during World War II and tells the story of a young boy from a wealthy family who has a concentration camp in his backyard. He ends up befriending a Jewish boy on the other side of the fence — but both boys are unaware of their circumstances.
The Fault in Our Stars
Ah, heart-wrenching, tragedy-ridden, young love. Based on the best-selling novel by John Green, the story follows Hazel and Augustus as they fall in love after meeting in a cancer support group.
Marley & Me
It’s the only animal movie on this list (we promise). Will you cry five separate times in this movie? Possibly. But aside from all the tears you’re going to shed, how could you not have a soft spot for this film starring Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston?
P.S. I Love You
Ready to ugly cry? This bittersweet tale is about a woman (Hilary Swank) who loses the love of her life (Gerard Butler). But through a series of mysterious letters, she embarks on an amazing adventure.
Room
Watch the heartbreaking story of a mother (Brie Larson) and her son Jack (Jacob Tremblay) who live in the shed of the mother’s kidnapper. Psst…if you love Brie Larson, give Short Term 12 a watch as well!
Lion
Get ready to cry buckets of tears with this beautiful film. Saroo (Dev Patel) works tirelessly to reunite with his birth family after being separated form them as a young boy.
Like Crazy
Get ready to feel all of the feels. The late Anton Yelchin (Jacob) and Felicity Jones (Anna) fall in love in college, but when Anna’s visa runs out and she has to return to England, things get complicated.
Up
There’s no way we would have been able to get through this list without a Disney Pixar movie. We thought we’d end it on a happy note with this uplifting film about a grumpy old man who finds friendship in unexpected places. Fair warning: the introductory montage may or may not leave you sobbing like a baby.
