14 Upcoming Movies That Will Definitely Make You Cry

3. Darkest Hour

Release Date: November 22

The Plot: At the beginning of World War II, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill (Gary Oldman) must decide whether or not to explore a peace treaty with Nazi Germany, or stand resolute against them.

Why You'll Cry: Gary Oldman is putting some seriously heavyweight work into this performance, and from the trailer released so far, it's clear that both he and the movie's astonishing make-up effects will work in concert to drain every ounce of emotion from Churchill leading England through its darkest period in modern history.

Whether it's the powerful speeches or the more intimate glimpses at Churchill as a man, this one has some incredible potential to be the film that makes dads everywhere shed a couple of tears.
