The world can be overwhelming at times, and letting the tears flow freely in a safe space, like at home under your favorite blanket, is an ideal way to let out some steam. A good story is a surefire way to elicit some tears, and if you\u2019ve been feeling the need to have a good cry sesh yourself, then watching a movie can be an unexpected act of self-care.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Movies can <a href=\"https:\/\/camillestyles.com\/wellness\/inspirational-movies\/\">inspire you<\/a>, get you in the <a href=\"https:\/\/camillestyles.com\/wellness\/best-new-holiday-movies-2024-2\/\">holiday spirit<\/a> and yes\u2014make you cry. Whether you\u2019re looking for laughter through tears, a heartbreaking ugly cry, or an uplifting story that makes you weep with joy\u2014here\u2019s a round-up of movies to watch with a stack of tissues. Since not all crying is created equal, I\u2019ve categorized them based on vibes. They start with unbearable gut punches and work their way toward stories that\u2019ll break open your heart. Here\u2019s to cherishing the essence of life, let\u2019s dive in!<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-devastating-cry\">The Devastating Cry<\/h2>\n<p>These are the movies that destroy you in the best (or worst?) way. The following films are raw, heart-wrenching stories that are sure to stay with you. In my personal opinion, you watch these films once and let them marinate. There\u2019s no need to watch them more than once, maybe ever, so save these for when you really want to sob. They\u2019re emotionally intense, often centered around grief, loss, or trauma\u2014and they linger long after the credits roll.<\/p>\n<p><em>Feature image by Michelle Nash.<\/em><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<p>\n<iframe title=\"Sophie&#039;s Choice Official Trailer #1 - Meryl Streep, Kevin Kline Movie (1982) HD\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/STPJVf6wqCk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sophie\u2019s Choice<\/h3>\n<p>Classic Meryl Streep.

Dolly Parton has a line where she says \u201cLaughter through tears is my favorite emotion,\u201d and this is exactly what happens as you watch this movie. <em>Steel Magnolias <\/em>follows a group of women that share a close bond as they connect in and out of a neighborhood hair salon. The cast is stellar and you\u2019ll both laugh and cry. Sally Field delivers an iconic monologue towards the end of the film, immediately followed by one of the funniest. It\u2019s truly magical, and is a wonderful and beautiful reminder that friendships are something to be cherished.<\/p>\n<p>Available on: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.max.com\/movies\/steel-magnolias-movie\/86fdc640-5a06-45f7-b518-c4307e40f7ce?utm_source=universal_search\">MAX<\/a><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<p>\n<iframe title=\"Official Trailer: Little Women (1994)\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/sET83nlk1NU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-little-women-1994\">Little Women (1994)<\/h3>\n<p>I\u2019ll never forget the moment I watched this film for maybe the third or fourth time in high school\u2014and finally realizing why Jo ends up with the Professor instead of Laurie. The discovery made me weep. It\u2019s completely common for young girls to be upset that Jo and Laurie don\u2019t end up together (I was in that camp for sure!) but truly understanding why they aren\u2019t right for eachother feels like a coming of age in and of itself. I will never not cry when Beth dies (young Claire Danes is simply incredible), when Jo finishes her novel, and when she and the Professor kiss under the umbrella.<\/p>\n<p>Available on: <a href=\"https:\/\/pluto.tv\/us\/on-demand\/movies\/654e99d325fde2001a17aa30?utm_medium=textsearch&amp;utm_source=google\">Pluto<\/a><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<p>\n<iframe title=\"Shakespeare in Love | Official Trailer (HD) - Joseph Fiennes, Gwyneth Paltrow | MIRAMAX\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/v5R5La5f3eo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Shakespeare In Love<\/h3>\n<p>A period romantic comedy? Say less! I was a total theatre kid growing up, and the scenes at the Globe in this film always leave me teary-eyed. <em>Shakespeare In Love <\/em>is a bittersweet love story, and if you\u2019re a romantic at heart, it\u2019s sure to move you to tears. Although the story is fiction, it\u2019s a fascinating peek into what life must have really been like in Shakespeare\u2019s time. The poetry, the lush costumes, and Dame Judi Dench\u2019s Oscar-winning performance (for eight minutes of screentime!) makes it absolutely worth the watch.<\/p>\n<p>Available on: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paramountplus.com\/movies\/video\/eVmXI70jsf9xbL_s_RaTQQ1tnQeL6OUI\/?searchReferral=desktop-web&amp;source=google-organic&amp;ftag=PPM-23-10bfh8c\">Paramount+<\/a><\/p>\n<p>No matter what kind of cry you\u2019re craving, there\u2019s something for everyone on this list.
