41 Sad Movies to Watch for a Cathartic Cry (Elle)

This is a judgement free zone. If you feel a sense of emotional release when crying at a sad film, that's ok with us. In fact, we're here to assist.
Different moods account for different viewing needs. Sometimes you need a happy film or a comedy to improve your mood, other times call for a romantic and soulful vibe and then there are those moments where you want to be on the edge of your sofa (or hiding behind a pillow) watching a thriller or horror movie.
Other times, you want a sad film with a not-so happy ending and this is ok. Some of the best, most successful, critically-acclaimed and award-winning films of recent years have featured performances that leave your clothes tear-stained. So, we've taken the liberty of rounding them up.
