14 Upcoming Movies That Will Definitely Make You Cry

6. The Man Who Invented Christmas

Release Date: November 3

The Plot: In late 1843, a creatively frustrated Charles Dickens (Dan Stevens) sets out to write a new tale to revive his reputation and keep his family financially afloat, leading to the creation of his much-loved classic, A Christmas Carol.

Why You'll Cry: Much like Goodbye Christopher Robin, there's going to be an inherent audience nostalgia for the subject matter, which just about everyone is at least vaguely familiar with.

That the brilliant Dan Stevens is playing Dickens, while Jonathan Pryce plays his father John, and Christopher Plummer has a role as Ebeneezer Scrooge himself, ensures BAFTA-nominated director Bharat Nalluri (Life on Mars) has top-tier performers to wring the maximum emotional potency out of this story.

The parallels between A Christmas Carol and Dickens' own life are sure to account for most of the film's poignancy, especially as it pertains to his father and the origins of Tiny Tim.
