Movies That Made Me SOB
Sometimes we all need a good cry and watching a gut wrenching sad movie is the cure.
1 ~ Five Feet Apart ~ Initially I was okay, but then it just went downhill and TORE me apart. Thus leading to me crying in the first slide 😂.
2 ~ Miracle in Cell No. 7 ~ WHEW, within the first 12 minutes I was full on sobbing. There has not been a movie that I have ever cried so much. Every scene I was TORN. The movie is two hours long so get comfortable and grab a box of tissues. 🤧
3 ~ Hi, Bye Mama! ~ Oh dear, I know I said movies but this series right here be prepared for Lee Kyu-hyung phenomenal acting. Just as his is experiencing so many emotions you are also riding the same wave. I cried like a baby watching this show. 🥹
4 ~ Me Before You ~ I have watched this movie over and over again knowing the plot…yet I still cry. I will never forget my first time watching this movie. I was devastated. 💔
5 ~ Bridge to Terabithia ~ WHEW, this childhood classic is a real tear jerker. When I learned it was inspired from real life experience my heart broke a little more. 🥲
Ever felt that overwhelming urge for a good, cleansing cry? You're not alone! Sometimes, life just gets a little too much, and nothing feels quite as therapeutic as letting it all out with a heart-wrenching film. I often ask myself, 'why would I ever cry like this?' when I'm deep into a sad movie. But honestly, it's such a powerful release. It allows us to process emotions, whether they're related to the film or our own lives. It's like a reset button for your soul; a much-needed emotional detox. To truly immerse yourself in the experience and get that full emotional release, I've learned a few tricks. First, tissues are non-negotiable – seriously, grab a whole box (or two!). There’s nothing worse than having to pause a pivotal, tear-jerking scene to scramble for a tissue. Second, find a cozy spot where you won't be interrupted. Dim the lights, get under a soft blanket, and let yourself go. Silence your phone, tell your housemates you're unavailable, and create a little sanctuary just for you and your feelings. A warm drink like tea or hot chocolate can also be a comforting companion. After a good cry-fest, I always make sure to treat myself with a little self-care. Maybe it's a warm cup of tea, a comforting snack, or simply taking a few deep breaths and reflecting on the movie's impact. It’s about acknowledging those strong emotions and then gently bringing yourself back to a calm state. Don't rush out of that emotional space; give yourself time to process. Sometimes, I even journal about what parts of the movie resonated with me the most, or how it made me feel. Thinking about films like 'Five Feet Apart' or 'Miracle in Cell No. 7' from the list, it's not just the tragic storylines that get to me; it's the deep connections we form with the characters, their struggles, and the profound lessons on love, loss, and resilience. Even with 'Me Before You', knowing the ending doesn't lessen the emotional punch because the journey is so raw and real. These movies aren't just about sadness; they often leave a lasting impact, making us appreciate what we have, offering a new perspective on life's challenges, or simply reminding us of the universal experience of humanity. They remind us of the profound power of storytelling to connect us through shared emotions. So, next time you feel that familiar tug, that 'I need a good cry' feeling, don't fight it. Embrace it with one of these powerful films, and allow yourself the catharsis you deserve. It’s not just about crying; it’s about feeling, processing, and ultimately, healing.
