Movies that made me cry
A mixture of genuinely incredibly moving films where I don't trust anyone who DOESN'T cry at them, some basic bitch romcoms and the like where I blame the HRT for the fact I cried at it, some films that are decently moving but probably wouldn't have made me shed actual tears except that I watched them in rather fragile mental states, some totally random shit I can't even explain why I cried at it, and assorted stuff where my reason for crying is basically case-by-case.
Films added in the order I remember them so if there's a movie you also cried at and wanna see if it's here (or is it just me who searches this website for the word "cry" just so I can see how many other people cried at the same movies I did?), it would probably be best to use the filters and/or sort options.
