Movies for a Good Sob

If you’re like me, you enjoy a good film that moves you emotionally. I particularly like the ones that make me cry. There just aren’t enough opportunities to open up and bawl like a baby. A good flick can do that for you!

I also refer to movies a lot when coaching my writing clients. Movies are a great way to see story and drama writ large. This makes it easier to infuse our own writing with emotion and depth.

I posted a note on Facebook recently asking friends for their suggestions of good ‘sobbers’. I compiled them into a document.

Download the list here and add the movies to your queue. Next time you’re feeling moody, check one of these out.

What movies move you to tears? Feel free to add them in the comments below. I won’t be able to amend the list but would love to see more titles if you’ve got them!

    I watched this on a plane and just boo hoo-ed for a while at the end. Then I watched it again a couple months later at home and cried all over again…

      I LOVED that movie, BJ! It was so sweet and funny and also deep. I might rewatch!
