10 Movies That Make Us Cry Every Time -

There’s nothing like a cathartic cry; sometimes, movies are what we need to make it happen.

These movies make us cry every time we watch them, whether because of their emotional stories or heartbreaking endings. That doesn’t mean we’ll never see them again; some of them we love to watch.

Warning: there are spoilers below!

Field of Dreams

Call me a sucker for baseball. Call me nostalgic for backyard catches with my dad. Field of Dreams will always make me cry.

Watching Ray realize he’s been saving his father instead of Shoeless Joe Jackson has me reaching for the Kleenex every time, especially when the music fully kicks in.

Good Will Hunting

As iconic as the quote “How do you like them apples?” is and as clever as the film’s dialogue can be, Good Will Hunting is about overcoming your trauma.

The movie earns its flowers, even after all these years. It’s hard to realize that in 1997, Ben Affleck and Matt Damon weren’t household names. Yet you can argue that Good Will Hunting is still the best movie they’ve ever appeared in.

The Notebook

Is it a bit cliche at times? Sure, but that’s part of the charm of The Notebook.

There’s nothing like a good love story to spawn a good, healthy cry. The endings reveal that the elderly couple is Noah and Allie, though this is what pushes us over the edge.

Interstellar

A beautiful, albeit emotionally devastating movie, Christopher Nolan’s sci-fi movie about saving humanity is actually more about the love between a father and his family.

Watching Cooper (Matthew McConaughey) watch his children age 23 years while in another galaxy is devastating, but nothing competes to the film’s climatic moments. We learn that despite being lightyears away, Cooper was always with his children, especially his daughter Murphy.

Seeing their reunion take place as Murphy lies on their deathbed is a touching, albeit incredibly sad, ending to a moving film.

The Green Mile

Stephen King may be the master of horror, but he’s the master of the written word in general. The movie adaptation of The Green Mile is just another example of his excellent storytelling.

Its lengthy runtime can test our patience, but that’s only because this is yet another emotionally draining movie. It’s not afraid to have its most emotional moments linger, only enhancing their impact.

Logan

For a while, it felt like this was the last time we’d see Hugh Jackman play the popular Wolverine character. While Deadpool & Wolverine was well worth his return, Logan still serves as a touching finale to his iconic portrayal.

The strength of Logan‘s story helps it transcend the comic book movie medium and can make anyone, comic book fan or not, start crying.

Marley and Me

In many ways, Marley and Me uses unfair practices to make us cry. How are we expected to get so emotionally involved in a dog’s life and not burst into tears when he is put down?

While formulaic, Marley and Me succeeds as a movie that makes us cry because Marley, not his family, is the star. He’s the main attraction, allowing us to become fully invested in his life.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

A reminder that true love conquers all.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is a beautiful, emotionally draining film that shows no matter how hard you try to move on from the love of your life, you’ll always make it back to them.

Even if you’ve erased them from your memory, you’ll always make it back together.

Bridge to Terabithia

Who in their right mind decided to make this movie geared towards young adults?

Bridge to Terabithia is a heartwrenching movie that helps us learn how to deal with grief.

Losing a loved one is hard, but it’s better to keep someone’s memory alive and live in their honor.

My Girl

While My Girl seems to be about young love, it’s also about overcoming grief.

Vada lives with the fear that she killed her mother after childbirth. She’s afraid that her dad is replacing her mom after he gets engaged. She finds solace in her best friend, Thomas J., until he dies while retrieving her mood ring near a bee hive, as he’s allergic to bees.

Watching Vada grieve at his funeral is one of the saddest scenes in all of cinema. You can feel the moment she realizes he’s not coming back, opening up a waterfall of emotion she’s been holding inside for the entire movie.
