What is the reason for overly sad movies like Fault/Stars?

A good cry is extremely cathartic deembatgille, one feels a whole lot better afterwards. It also reminds us that we are human and have feelings with a capital F. Try taking a lady with you when you go and watch sad movies. Girls love sensitive men and the bond you make weeping your way through THE NOTEBOOK or THE FAULT IN OUR STARS is almost sure to get you laid after the picture has ended. But I should also mention that I once got a hand job during the Kurt Russell-starring BREAKDOWN, so clearly thrillers can make girls randy too. Of course, if you are a girl, don't wear too much makeup when you watch sad movies, because you will look like a racoon at the end of the picture.   

What movies have made you cry the most deembatgille? I cried uncontrollably during WAR HORSE - I was saying to myself please God don't let the horse die, because if it does they will have to carry me out of here, MILLION DOLLAR BABY - after the movie ended I didn't leave the cinema for 20 minutes because I was trying to compose myself, and of course the movie that makes grown sob HACHI: A DOG'S STORY was quite the tearful experience. Hell, after HACHI ended I sat in the parking lot for an hour sobbing uncontrollably. Fact is, I was still crying three days after it finished. I waited six months before I had the courage to watch it again. I made it half way through the picture before breaking down and beginning to blubber. The missus was also moved by Hachi's loyalty and unconditional love for his master, but being quite a tough, grounded chick she barely shed a tear. When the movie ended she watched me sob for about five minutes. Then she told me to man up and get over it.

And oh my God. have you ever seen the Swedish tearjerker AS IT IS IN HEAVEN? It's a beautiful film, but good golly miss molly did it make me cry, and cry.

Here, from AS IT IT IS IN HEAVEN, is Gabriella's Song.
