As the rain clouds are settling in for their stay this week here in Lil' Rhody, I feel an even stronger need to not get dressed and stay inside and cuddle up in my elephant onsie (yes, I'm 23 years old and have an elephant onsie).

I've always liked dreary, rainy days when I'm not obligated to go anywhere because it gives me a legitimate excuse to be lazy and watch movies all day.

What are the best types of movies to watch on a gloomy day you ask? Sad movies. I don't know about you but if the clouds are crying, so am I...whoops, went a bit dark there. No, but really, rainy days are great to just binge on some awesome, sad films.

So if you ran out of things on Netflix to watch ("Narcos" anyone?), here is a little list of movies that I personally love to just get a little 'emo' to.

Warning! There may be spoilers but I tried really hard not to ruin anything.

1. "Bridge To Terabithia" (2007)

For those of you who have seen this movie already and tell me that you didn't cry, you're lying. It stars a young Josh Hutcherson and AnnaSophia Robb who are next-door neighbors and friends. Hidden in the woods is a treehouse where they create a place called Terabithia. This fantastical world full of mystical creatures only exists in their minds and becomes a safe place to escape to when reality gets a little too harsh and overwhelming for them. The sad part isn't until the end but when it comes, it hits hard.

2. "Nobody Knows" (2004)

This is actually a Japanese film, but don't let that deter you from watching it. There's hardly any subtitles which makes the story so much more compelling. It's about four siblings, ranging from about 5 to 12 years old, and their mother living in a small Tokyo apartment, but when the mother leaves and doesn't return, the kids have to fend for themselves. I'm not sure if I actually cried during this movie but the plot is ridiculously sad and to watch these young children try to live by themselves is heartbreaking. Again, the really sad part doesn't come until the end but it plays out so nonchalantly it makes you even more sad.

3. "The Fault In Our Stars" (2014)

I know, I know, this one is super cliche (you're lucky I didn't also include "The Notebook"), but you can't deny it's a tearjerker. If I'm watching a movie with anyone else or I'm sitting in a movie theater, I try to hold in the tears but for this movie I just bawled like a baby. I'm sure I don't have to explain the plot, but in short, it stars Shailene Woodly and Ansel Elgort who play two teenagers with life-threatening illnesses who fall in love with each other. The love and friendship in this movie has you crying happily and then the ugly tears start to fall as the story progresses.

4. "Pay It Forward" (2000)

Starring Haley Joel Osment (from "The Sixth Sense") and Kevin Spacey, this film shows how a kid takes his school history assignment beyond just the classroom and tries to make the world a better place by creating the 'pay it forward' system; do a favor or good deed for one person and then that person has to complete good deeds for three other people, and so on. Sounds peachy, right? Secrets, abusive relationships, and hints of addiction take this movie to a dark place and when one act of paying it forward eventually turns out wrong, you might want to hold onto your seats because it will punch you right in the gut and send you on a roller coaster of tears.

5. "Pure Love/Unforgettable" (2016)

This one is Korean, but again, don't let that steer you away from watching this incredible film. Your tears won't even have time to dry before you start crying again. You actually might not have any tears, or tissues, left when you're done with this film. A radio DJ receives a letter one night written 23 years ago by his first love which reveals the true friendship between their group of five friends one summer. Most of the movie is a giant flashback to that one eventful summer. Do Kyungsoo (D.O. from the popular K-pop group EXO) plays one of the main characters and is unforgettable (pun intended?) with his acting. My synopsis really doesn't do this movie justice. If there's one movie you're going to watch from this list, make it this one. I promise you won't regret it.

6. "Cyberbully" (2011)

For an ABC Family (now Freeform) original movie, this was so good I thought it was a Lifetime movie. It features Emily Osment and also Kay Panabaker and tells the story of a girl whose online profile was hacked and is now getting 'cyberbullied'. In today's digital age it is a very reasonably relatable movie and takes you through what can actually happen on the receiving end of a person being bullied in high school through social media. Osment's character's breaking point is when the tears start falling because it's just too real.

Enjoy your dark, rainy, movie-watching day!
