10 Movies That Will Make You Cry Yourself To Sleep

Forget the tissues, you'll need a good friend to keep you hydrated the whole week.

Sometimes you just want a good cry. It's healthy and natural and dammit, maybe you just have a desire to have your heartstrings tugged at for a couple of hours. And that's why there's an entire sub-genre of movies dedicated to making you weep. But there's a big difference between a "tearjerker" and a "shameless heart puncher." Some movies don't just want to make you cry, they want to make you to cry so hard that your neighbours call the police out of concern. They want to make you cry so much that your body runs out of moisture, so your eyes just start sending little salt rocks down your cheeks. They want to make you cry into the night. And possibly into the next morning. So it's with the utmost caution that we guide you through the most heartbreaking, emotionally devastating movies the world has to offer. Watch them at your own peril. And maybe wear a life jacket so you don't actually drown in your own sadness.
