60 Movies Guaranteed to Make You Cry Every Time


Neal Preston

Sometimes you just need to have yourself a good cry. Nothing beats the cathartic release of a good sob, whether it’s while you’re listening to Adele on a long drive or while you’re smushed between strangers on the train. A deep emotional purge is good—dare we say, necessary—every once in a while, and these emotional films can certainly help with that. For the nights when romances and whodunnits won’t cut it, turn to these tear-jerkers that pull at the heartstrings in the best and most brutal ways possible.

An Oscar winner, this short film follows a Groundhog Day trope where a young Black man named Carter James (Joey Badass) is shot and killed by NYPD police officer, Merk (Andrew Howard) in a time loop. Though police brutality stories have been told consistently, what makes Two Distant Strangers different (and, honestly, much more powerful) is the emotional scars behind both figures: the man who’s being killed and man who’s killing. —MC
