Cosmo's 77 Weepy, Heartbreaking Tearjerkers Everyone Should See (2021 Update)
"Rom-coms and funny movies have their place, but sometimes you're just in the mood to cry. Luckily for you, we've rounded up more than 70 sad movies so you can have a good cry. Why do I sometimes *want* to feel sad by watching a sad movie? A 2016 study suggests that watching an "emotionally arousing" movie leads to an increased sense of group bonding and increased pain threshold. Another study from 2012 suggests that watching sad movies actually makes us happy because they make us think about our close relationships, which boosts happiness. We've got your movies about parent-child relationships, romantic relationships, forbidden LGBTQ+ love, emotionally charged friendships, drug addiction, death, illness — all that cheery stuff, you know. And don't worry, some of these movies are both funny and sad if you want a side of laughter with your tears. Here are 77 tearjerker movies for when you need a good cry." - cosmopolitan.com
