25 Movies that will make you cry

 

Up (2009) - Animation

The first five minutes of 'Up' are masterful, oscarizable, wonderful and devastating. The void left by Carl and Ellie's story is overwhelming, and not even the masterpiece that is 'Up' helps that void to disappear.


My Girl (1991)

My Girl has the audacity to turn a love story, with a first kiss included, into a drama that marked an entire generation. From the time when Macaulay Culkin was Hollywood's big promise.


Ghost (1990)

Despite the comic relief of Oda Mae Brown, the character of Whoopi Goldberg, the love story between Sam (Patrick Swayze) and Molly Jensen (Demi Moore) is utterly tragic as poor Sam dies and becomes a ghost.


The Notebook (2004)

It is the romantic classic of the 21st century and is so because it tells the story of Allie and Noah in a romantic, cloying and funny way. That's precisely why the ending is so painful.


Your Name (2016)

The most successful anime in history is a gift for the senses. A jewel to discover in which everything seems unconnected until the story begins to flow and come together like clockwork. It will make you cry but it will also leave you a delicious aftertaste for several days.


The Pianist (2002)

Adrien Brody is the perfect protagonist of a jewel that spreads different emotions throughout its story. In fact, many of the tears you shed will be of rage.


The Grave of the Fireflies (1988) - Animation

An anti-war masterpiece that would go down in history as one of the saddest films. Naturally, if your main character is Seita, a young homeless man who's died of starvation and who tells his younger sister what happened before his death, it's logical to think that we're going to cry. And a lot.


Sweet November (2001)

Keanu Reeves and Charlize Theron can't get any more chemistry on the screen than this. The two are beautiful and funny, and the whole world wishes they had many healthy children. But there is one problem and that is what makes 'Sweet November' such a big drama.


Dead Poets Society (1989)

Robin Williams filled the screen in each of his films. Now, in 'The Dead Poets' Society' he left an indescribable legacy. The film's iconic moment is one that makes you cry each every time you watch it.


Toy Story 3 (2010) - Animation

The best part of the tetralogy 'Toy Story' is also the most painful of all. It has moments of tension, of farewells, and even scenes where one cries without knowing the reason.


Fried Green Tomatoes (1991)

Just seeing the cast Jon Avnet put together makes you want to cry (but for joy). When we get to know the story of Idgie, Ruth, Ninny and Evelyn, crying alternates with smiling so often that you lose count throughout the film.


Mask (1985)

Rocky, the young protagonist of the film, existed in real life. A deformity in his skull made the world not see him as the wonderful being he was. Luckily, his mother and stepfather showed him what love was. The movie aims for drama from the first minute and delivers on it.


All about my mother/ Todo sobre mi madre (1999)

Through Pedro Almodóvar and the excellent Cecilia Roth, the spectator comes to know what it is like to lose a child on its 17th birthday. The film is an aimless journey through life that weighs on the heart until the final credits appear.


Titanic (1997)

Everyone knows how the story of the Titanic ends. The new thing about 'Titanic' was that its demise got in the way of Jack and Rose's love story. Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet are pure chemistry on screen.


Forrest Gump (1994)

Robert Zemeckis is able to tell several films in one. This is how 'Forrest Gump' becomes the masterpiece that it is. Among the films that make up the film, there is the drama of Forrest and his mother that leaves several absolutely overwhelming moments.


Steel Magnolias (1989)

Sally Field, Dolly Parton, Shirley McLaine, Daryl Hannah, Olympia Dukakis and Julia Roberts. Six friends who live in the South and whose lives have joys but also dramas on a daily basis. Especially hard is the story of Shelby, the character of Julia Roberts.


A Monster Calls (2016)

When a film is designed to make you cry, it usually does. Add to that a director like Bayonne, and it's not unusual for everyone to end up with puffy eyes. The magic part only adds to the drama.


Rain Man (1988)

When Tom Cruise decides to take care of Dustin Hoffman, his brother in the film, he has no idea how far his bother's autism goes. After more than two hours building a relationship that had not existed before, the film brings an ending that is devastating and hits the spectator's guts.


Inside Out (2015) - Animation

The story of growth and the passage to adolescence depicted by 'Inside Out' is already a drama in itself. And then, there are two concrete and unexpected scenes that take away a little piece of the heart of everyone who sees and suffers them.


Romeo + Juliet (1996)

Anyone who has read Shakespeare's classic knows beforehand that the ending is hard. Now, seeing it in person, when it's two beautiful people like Claire Danes and Leonardo DiCaprio who play the couple, is even harder.


Life is beautiful/ La vita è bella (1997)

Roberto Benigni made magic with 'Life is beautiful'. Nobody ever knew how to give a comic touch to Nazism while also showing the darkest side of this era. The end of the film is absolutely devastating.


Big fish (2003)

With Tim Burton's undoubted stamp, 'Big fish' is a tale full of magical, wonderful tales to fall in love with. The ending is like a dagger to the heart of the spectator.


The Fault in Our Stars (2014)

Ansel Elgort and Shailene Woodley are perfect for playing Gus and Haze: two young people with different types of cancer whose end seems to be obvious in advance. Despite this, the film manages to surprise you, even with the worst of scenarios.


Dancer in the Dark (2000)

When viewers realize that Björk is a major actress and embrace the story, they already have tears in her eyes and these do not go away for several days. Heartbreaking and painful like few stories.


Precious (2009)

Lee Daniels' film alternates tough moments with dramatic scenes. At the end of its 110 minutes, the viewer has the feeling of having been beaten up.
