Today's 25 Sad Movies Guaranteed to Make You Cry
"Sad movies, well, they can totally wreck you for days. Weeks. Years. Sad movies can make you cry, they can make you emotional, and it doesn't matter if you see them on the big screen, streaming at home, if they're fictional or based on true stories. Moviemakers are experts at pulling our heartstrings (and sometimes breaking them). A 2016 study from Oxford University revealed that watching highly emotional films, particularly sad ones, plays tricks on your brain by increasing levels of chemicals related to bonding or pain tolerance. But it's really about the journey we all go on in the story of the film. So on that note, get ready to pull our your box of tissues, 'cause the best sad movies of all time are going to get you super-emotional, and possibly bonded, with whoever you watch them with. We have some selections about friends, others about romance, and others based on true stories, all designed to make you cry." - today.com
