steel magnolias or terms of endearment

I'm in the mood for a good cry. Not sure if it's all this beta nonsense or just my hormones, but I just need a good movie cry.

My go tos are always Steel Magnolias or Terms of Endearment.

Anyone else lock themselves in a room with a tear-jerker and a box of tissues when you've had enough emotionally? What's your lose-your-sh!t movie of choice?

    Oh yes.  All the time.

    My go-to is Message In A Bottle.


    After 2 rounds of IVF & 2 rounds of FET, we were blessed with identical twin girls!

    Both of those do it for me.

    Also, Dad with Ted Danson.

    However, lately, even commercials make me cry.

    I don't really have a "go to" movie...but I will say that the scene in SM when Sally Field loses it from the funeral gets me EVERY time!

    I cry every time I see Spanglish, especially during the scenes when Adam and Tea are arguing and the scenes between Adam and his daughter.  So sweet.

    Steel Magnolias, The Notebook, Marley and Me (although this one is so sad I'll never watch it again!)... I think that's it. Braveheart always makes me cry at the end too.

    Confession - I have never seen either of those movies! I hate, hate sad movies because I am upset enough. I would watch Office Space or something really stupid and funny to cheer me up.

    Hope you feel better soon!

    I agree with all the previous posted, especially The Notebook, Marley and Me and Beaches.
