10 Movies That Are Guaranteed To Make You Emotional

In This Article:

We all have those days where we feel like we need to let out a good cry. I can't be the only one who thinks that. What better to get over being emotional than watching a sad movie? Here are a few movies I turn to when I get in an emotional mood:

1. "My Girl"

This classic coming-of-age movie will have you crying both happy and sad tears throughout the entire movie. The first time I watched this I was excited, because "the boy from Home Alone is in it". Boy was I upset by the end of this movie.

2. "Marley and Me"

Giphy

You're lying if you say you do not cry every time you watch the scene where Marley dies (sorry for the spoiler alert).

3. "The Notebook"

The undying love between Allie and Noah is so beautiful. This movie will have you go through an entire box of tissues before the credits roll.

4. "Steel Magnolias"

This is an oldie but definitely a goodie. Any southerner needs to watch this movie. The cast is so powerful (hello Dolly Parton is in it), and it is such a rollercoaster of tears of joy and sadness.

5. "Titanic"

The real-life story of this shipwreck is tragic enough without the fictional romance between Jack and Rose. Watching this movie is the most emotional rollercoaster I have ever experienced.

6. "The Fault in Our Stars"

Giphy

I you aren't a total emotional mess at the end of this movie, then you probably were not paying attention.

7. "A Star is Born"

This entire movie is gold. The music is amazing. The chemistry between Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga is beautiful.

8. "The Lion King"

Giphy

This scene speaks for itself. Disney did us wrong with killing Mufasa.

9. "Up"

Ok I might be overreacting a tad but I was crying before the movie could barely get started.

10. "Forrest Gump"

I think I am the only one who cries every time I watch "Forrest Gump". The love Forrest has for Jenny is so sad, because she doesn't give him the same energy, and you are lying if you didn't get a little upset when she dies in the end (sorry spoiler).

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
