Movies that Made Me Cry (Get Ready for the Tearjerkers!)
It takes a lot to make me cry, so I’m always on the hunt for movies that can make you cry!! Finding them is typically few and far between, so I decided to make a list for others who want a good movie to make them sob.
Some of these are obvious ones, but I have a lot on my list that I’m pretty sure most people haven’t even heard of 🙂
These are listed in no particular order, so I’m not saying any are better than the others. I’ll also say that an animated movie has never made me cry (yet, so give me alllll of the suggestions!!).

The Amazing Spider-Man 2
If you’ve seen this movie, you know exactly which scene made me cry!! My husband laughs at me when I cry for that scene just because the movie as a whole isn’t a sad movie. My thing is, though, if you get the scene right, the emotional build up right, the acting right, the emotional climax of the movie should make you cry no matter what genre the movie is in.
Basically this movie is the second in the series about how Spider-Man (Andrew Garfield) has to face off several villains who threaten everything he has ever loved.
Now, obviously this isn’t an extensive list. I’ve cried for many other movies besides these. I just can’t… remember them haha. Bonus for you though: the quickest thing I’ve ever cried for was Marshmello’s music video for Happier.
