Tell us about the best movie to bring on a cleansing cry

5 Movies that always make me cry

1. Dangerous Liaisons. I don’t know why watching Michelle Pfeiffer and John Malkovich suffer makes me cry for at least an hour after it’s over.

2. Terms of Endearment. As a mother, watching Shirley MacLaine have a meltdown at the nurse’s station definitely tugs on the hearstrings. Plan on having a box of tissues handy. A full box of tissues.

3. Steel Magnolias.

4. Life is Beautiful

5. Schindler’s List

“Just a small town girl – living in a lonely world.” Concert tickets are practically essential. Musicals are the key to life. I like movies, music,books, and corny jokes.

  1. Kate @ Did That Just Happen? – I'm an just over 40, single mother of a wonderful teenage boy, who is an endless source of wonder and laughs and gray hair. I may have a small life, but it's full to the brim, and frequently I just have to stop and ask myself "Did that just really happen??" Enjoy!

  2. Russel Olaf – Thane, India – Hi, I'm Russel D'Silva from Bombay (Mumbai), India – an entertainment journalist and film critic working for a leading Bollywood movie website. I created this blog as an outlet to express all my bustling cinematic emotions, which my bosses wouldn't allow me to publish for fear of pissing some Indian cinema bigwigs off. Additionally, this blog also gives me an opportunity to write about movies from all over the world, something I can't do at work since my company concentrates solely on Bollywood cinema. I've also had the good fortune of working on some short films in the capacity of an actor and writer. My other hobbies include cricket, tennis, reading novels, working out, and kickboxing.
