Saddest, Ugly-Cry Inducing Movies of All Time
Daniel Oines

These movies never fail to make me cry even after watching them several times (and I have watched a handful of them a multitude of times).

1. Bridge to Terabithia

I have seen this movie at least five times and everytime I call my parents crying that the movie ending was so sad. This happened as recently as a year ago when I was 20.

2. Hotel Rwanda

I started watching this movie in my AP World History Class my sophomore year of high school. I loved it so much, I went home to finish watching the movie and regretted it an hour later when I finished having a long, ugly cry.

3. Finding Neverland

A live action take on a childhood favorite, I went into the movie expecting it to be upbeat. To my surprise, it was not. However, the movie is still one of my favorites.

4. Tuck Everlasting

A movie about immortality, Tuck Everlasting is a tear inducing tale of young love.

5. My Girl

A touching movie about two kids who are best friends that has a heart-wrenching twist.

6. Good Will Hunting

Remembering a great actor and comedian gone, Robin Williams stars in this moving flick with Matt Damon.

7. Life is Beautiful

The sadness level of this movie may have been diminished due to the fact that I was forced to watch this movie during English class and could not allow myself to ugly cry and, as such, I distracted myself from the plot of the movie frequently.

8. Pay It Forward

A surprise ending takes this inspiring movie from heart warming to heart breaking.

9. A Walk to Remember

The story of a surprising couple takes an unexpected and depressing turn.

10. Bambi

This movie makes the list simply because it is a movie whose demographic is young children and the movie could be traumatic for children who are unfamiliar with the concept of death.

11. Up

Up includes the melancholic memories of a man who is still in love with his wife who passed away.

Honorable Mentions: Dead Poets Society and Fried Green Tomatoes

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
