Frequently asked questions

2 Titanic 🚣🏽

When you watch πŸ“Ί Titanic, you’ll probably get tears of frustration from the whole β€œthey could’ve fit two 2️⃣ people 🚻 on πŸ”˜ that board” situation. However, there’s plenty of other things to cry over, so buy πŸ’΄ a πŸ…°οΈ boatload of tissues before you press play. If you’ve somehow never seen the film, it’s about a man πŸƒ named Jack who meets Rose 🌹 on πŸ”˜ the Titanic and slowly shows her that there is happiness πŸ˜€ and love β™₯️ outside of her shallow rich πŸ’Ά world 🌏 that her mother created for her. Then, when they just start falling πŸ“‰ for each other, the Titanic hits an iceberg and… well, you know the rest.

3 Ghost πŸ‘»

Your tissues will do double the work πŸ“ when you watch ⌚ "Ghost," because it’ll make you cry AND laugh. I ℹ️ mean, Whoopie Goldberg is in it, and she never fails to lighten the mood. Despite her comedic presence, Sam, the main male 🚹 character, dies right πŸ‘‰ at the start of the movie. However, his spirit πŸ‘» is stuck on πŸ”› Earth 🌐 to help ℹ️ protect his girlfriend Molly and avenge his death. It’s a sad πŸ˜“ situation, but having a πŸ…°οΈ ghost πŸ‘» as a πŸ…°οΈ boyfriend isn’t as bad as it would seem.

4 A Walk πŸ‘ž to Remember

If you think your life 🌱 is rough, this movie πŸŽ₯ will make your reality seem like πŸ‘Œ flowers πŸ’ and sunshine. Like πŸ‘Œ I ℹ️ mentioned earlier, I ℹ️ think it's safe to assume that you will always need a πŸ…°οΈ lot of tissues when watching πŸ‘€ a film πŸŽ₯ adaptation of a πŸ…°οΈ Nicholas Sparks book. In "A Walk πŸ‘ž To Remember," Landon is a πŸ…°οΈ high school 🏫 bad boy πŸ‘±πŸΌ who falls in love πŸ’› with God-loving good πŸ‘ girl πŸ’ Jamie, who slowly makes him change his ways. Sadly, though, Landon finds out that Jamie is dying of leukemia and tries to complete her "bucket list" before it's too late. If your bucket list doesn’t contain β€œwatch a Walk πŸ‘ž to Remember and reevaluate my life πŸ’“ choices,” then you need to add βž• it to the list.

5 My Girl πŸ‘¦ πŸ‘§

If you’re too young to be a πŸ…°οΈ mother but too old to play 🎲 with dolls, β€œMy Girl” is exactly what you need to feel like 😍 you’re a πŸ…°οΈ worried 😰 parent. The movie πŸŽ₯ is a πŸ…°οΈ huge tearjerker as it was a πŸ…°οΈ harsh reminder πŸ“‘ that life 🌱 isn't fair, even at a πŸ…°οΈ young age. The story revolved around Vada and her best friend πŸ• Thomas J. They have a πŸ…°οΈ childhood love πŸ’› that is innocent πŸ‘Ό and pure, but sadly ends up πŸ†™ being cut 🈹 short. Everyone has days where they wish πŸ’« they were a πŸ…°οΈ child πŸ‘¨β€πŸ‘©β€πŸ‘§ again, but you need to remember how lucky πŸ€ you are that you grew up πŸ†™ at all.

6 P.S. I Love 😻 You

Everything Gerard Butler touches is golden, which is why so many women 🎎 fantasize about his hands πŸ‘ on πŸ”˜ them. Although Butler dies at the start of the movie, he’s the main focus of it. "P.S I Love πŸ’ž You" depicts Holly Kennedy, who is married to Butler’s character πŸ‘Ύ and has to deal with his death. However, before he died, Gerry wrote Holly a πŸ…°οΈ series πŸ“— of letters ℒ️ that will help ℹ️ guide her, not only through her grief but in rediscovering herself. The next time πŸ•– that your boyfriend honks his horn 🎺 instead of picking you up πŸ‘† at the door, remind him of how Gerry helped Holly even after his death. It’ll give him the shove he needs to man πŸ‘¨ up.

7 Armageddon πŸ’‘

If you really want to escape πŸ“š through a πŸ…°οΈ movie, this one 1️⃣ will take 🎬 you all the way to space. It’s filled with starsβ€”and not just the ones that sparkle ✨ in the sky. Bruce Willis, Billy Bob Thorton, Liv Tyler, Ben Affleck, Owen Wilson, and Steve Buscemi are all in the film. It’s an action-packed movie πŸŽ₯ that centers around space 🌌 exploration and the fact that a πŸ…°οΈ doomsday asteroid is set 🎬 to collide with Earth. The only man πŸƒ that has a πŸ…°οΈ chance of stopping the asteroid and saving all of the mankind is an oil driller named Harry Stamper and his group of misfit drillers and geologists. Then there's the love 😻 story between Harry's daughter πŸ‘¨β€πŸ‘©β€πŸ‘§ Grace and his employee A.J. that leaves 🌲 us wondering who will come to Grace (if they stop πŸ™… the asteroid) in the end? Her father, her fiancΓ©, both, or neither.

8 My Sister's Keeper πŸ‘§

Your family πŸ‘ͺ isn’t the only one 1️⃣ with problems. Whether we want to admit it or not, we’re all pretty messed up. That’s just a πŸ…°οΈ trait that goes hand-in-hand with being human. This movie, adapted from a πŸ…°οΈ Jodi Picoult novel, is about an eleven-year-old named Anna Fitzgerald, who seeks to hire the successful lawyer Campbell Alexander in order to help ℹ️ her earn medical πŸ₯ emancipation from her mother Sara, who wants Anna to donate her kidney to her sister πŸ‘¨β€πŸ‘©β€πŸ‘§β€πŸ‘¦ who's dying of leukemia.

9 Bambi 🌲 🌳

Of course, I ℹ️ had to include a πŸ…°οΈ classic tearjerker and probably the first 1️⃣ movie πŸŽ₯ all of us ever cried over. The beginning of "Bambi" is the saddest Disney movie πŸŽ₯ opening I ℹ️ had ever seen. (That is until the movie πŸŽ₯ "Up" came out.) Even as the movie πŸŽ₯ progress and things get happier, it’s hard not to think about the hardships those woodland animals have to face πŸ—Ώ in the real world. Us humans are just too mean. Those adorable πŸ’Ÿ creatures deserve a πŸ…°οΈ higher spot on πŸ”˜ the food πŸ₯ chain.

10 Brokeback Mountain 🏜

Heterosexual relationships have had it too good πŸ‘ for too long. It’s about time πŸ•’ that a πŸ…°οΈ movie πŸŽ₯ about two 2️⃣ dudes earns the spotlight it deserves. Never has a πŸ…°οΈ movie πŸŽ₯ come out that addressed being in the closet πŸ‘š so accurately. And the passion πŸ’— between the two 2️⃣ characters? It is truly amazing, and it's a πŸ…°οΈ movie πŸŽ₯ that is a πŸ…°οΈ classic to see -- even if it does make you cry a πŸ…°οΈ ton!

11 The Blind πŸ™ˆ Side

"The Blind πŸ™ˆ Side" will make all of you football ⚽ haters into fansβ€”at least temporarily. It's a πŸ…°οΈ movie πŸŽ₯ about a πŸ…°οΈ boy πŸ‘¦πŸ½ that grew up πŸ‘† in the bad part of town, but Sandra's character 🈴 took him in and made him into something. It's a πŸ…°οΈ classic drama 🎭 movie πŸŽ₯ that is absolutely amazing and heart-wrecking to watch! It’s even based on a πŸ…°οΈ true story, so don’t go claiming that the characters πŸ’Ή are unrealistic. It all actually happened.

12 Seven 7️⃣ Pounds

Will Smith is no 🚫 longer in Bellaire, but he’s still as fresh πŸ‹ as a πŸ…°οΈ prince. No πŸ™… matter how old he gets, his acting 🎭 just never gets stale. This movie πŸŽ₯ is so unique and different that you really have to watch ⌚ it closely to understand. Once you do, have a box πŸ“¦ of Kleenex handy! It's sad, it's dramatic, and it's free πŸ†“ on πŸ”› Netflix!

13 Bridge 🌁 to Terabithia

Don’t feel babyish for watching πŸ‘€ this film, because it’s more mature than you’d think. In fact, I ℹ️ wouldn’t want a πŸ…°οΈ child πŸ‘©β€πŸ‘©β€πŸ‘§ watching πŸ‘€ it because they’re too young to have their hopes and dreams crushed. Of course, adults are already used to the disappointment of the world, so if you like πŸ‘ fairy tales and you love πŸ’ imagination, this is the movie πŸŽ₯ for you. One 1️⃣ warning, though, you are going πŸ†™ to cry at the end πŸ’” and it's going πŸ‘£ to kill πŸ”ͺ you just a πŸ…°οΈ little bit inside.

14 The Lovely 🌸 Bones

This movie πŸŽ₯ can be summed up πŸ‘† with part of the title name: lovely. You already know that the book πŸ“• version is fantastic, but the movie? It brought it all to life πŸ’“ and it's a πŸ…°οΈ deep, dark πŸŒƒ movie. It's about a guy πŸ‘€ that killed a πŸ…°οΈ girl πŸ’ and it focuses on πŸ”˜ her ghost, which appears to help ℹ️ her family πŸ‘©β€πŸ‘©β€πŸ‘§β€πŸ‘§ and the authorities find out who her murderer is. It sounds a πŸ…°οΈ tad scary, but aren’t most things?

15 Selena πŸŽ™

Selena was one 1️⃣ of the greatest singers out thereβ€”and no, we aren’t talking πŸ“± about the one 1️⃣ who dated πŸ“… Justin Bieber. We’re talking πŸ“’ about the gorgeous lady, portrayed by Jennifer Lopez, who is stylish and just plain fabulous. I love πŸ’ the character 🈺 that Jennifer made and I ℹ️ absolutely love 😚 the fact that they made a πŸ…°οΈ movie πŸŽ₯ out of Selena's life. But since it’s based on a πŸ…°οΈ true story, it's also heartbreaking.

16 The Green Mile 🎞

If you’ve never heard πŸ‘‚ of this film, you’re not alone. But as you know, just because something is unpopular doesn’t mean it’s unlovable (I mean, how popular 😎 are you, really?) This is one 1️⃣ of those movies 🎦 that is sure to pull some tears from your eyes. It's so, so hard to watch, but it's also a πŸ…°οΈ movie πŸŽ₯ that is absolutely beautiful and so, so well-done.

17 Steel πŸ”© Magnolias

If you can’t afford to visit the beauty πŸ’…πŸ½ parlor, you can at least afford to watch ⌚ a πŸ…°οΈ movie πŸŽ₯ about once. While this is an old-school movie, it is also one 1️⃣ of those classic films that is absolutely amazing to watch πŸ“Ί -- until you get to the end. Then it breaks your heart πŸ’— into a πŸ…°οΈ million pieces! I love πŸ’‘ watching πŸ‘€ this movie πŸŽ₯ over and over again because truthfully, the characters 🈹 are amazing, the cast is incredible and everyone did such a πŸ…°οΈ great πŸ‘ job!

18 Stepmom πŸ’‰

Whenever there’s a πŸ…°οΈ step-mom in a πŸ…°οΈ movie, she’s always considered β€œevil.” Well, that’s just not fair 🎑 to all those lovely, concerned 😳 step-moms out there. They deserve some credit and it’s about time πŸ“… they got it! This movie πŸŽ₯ does have a πŸ…°οΈ great πŸ‘Œ ending, but it does leave you with the question, does she really die? When? How long after? It's so hard to watch, but it's such a πŸ…°οΈ great πŸ‘ movie!

19 The Pursuit of Happyness πŸ˜€

What’s the point ⬇️ of life, you ask? Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy 🌌 will say β€œ42,” but this movie πŸŽ₯ will say it’s the pursuit of happiness. If you've ever been down 😣 and out and really trying to build πŸ”§ yourself back πŸ”™ up, this is the movie πŸŽ₯ for you! This is a πŸ…°οΈ movie πŸŽ₯ all about reinventing yourself and really pulling yourself out of a πŸ…°οΈ hole. A deep, deep hole.

20 The Vow πŸ‘°

After watching πŸ‘€ a πŸ…°οΈ really bad film, you might wish πŸ’« for memory loss, but it’s not something to joke 😝 about and "The Vow" will make you realize why.

Imagine spending hours ⌚ of your time πŸ•¦ listening πŸ‘‚ to your mate’s complaints, buying her countless dinners, and making her fall πŸ‚ in love β™₯️ with youβ€”and then she forgets it all?

21 The Boy πŸ‘¦πŸ½ in Striped Pajamas

If you want to be touched, you don’t need a πŸ…°οΈ man. You just need to pop this movie πŸŽ₯ into your blue 😒 ray player. I’ve never thought πŸ’¬ a πŸ…°οΈ movie πŸŽ₯ would tug at my heart πŸ’ to the point ⬇️ when it starts hurting 😞 until I ℹ️ saw the movie πŸŽ₯ "The Boy πŸ‘±πŸΌ In Striped Pajamas."

25 Marley & Me

If your parents πŸ‘©β€πŸ‘©β€πŸ‘§β€πŸ‘¦ refuse to let you get a πŸ…°οΈ dog, "Marley & Me" will show you why that decision is probably for the best.
