- Sad movies can make you cry, they can make you emotional, and it doesn't matter if you see them on the big screen, on Netflix at home, if they're fictional or based on true stories. Moviemakers are experts at pulling our heartstrings (and sometimes breaking them).

Babs and Bob. Two actors (that's Barbara Streisand and Robert Redford) who are just stunning together on camera, playing characters who really were never gonna work for the long haul. Or would they, could they? She's a strident antiwar protester, and he's a privileged, drifting guy who often gets by on his good looks. Oh, and she's Jewish and he's ...
Redford's back for this one, but this time he's behind the camera. When Conrad's (Timothy Hutton) brother dies in a tragic accident and he tries to take his own life, the Jarrett family begins a slow disintegration. Astonishing performances from all involved (Hutton won an Oscar, as did Redford; it also picked up a Best Picture prize), but it's see...

Streep, who won an Oscar for the role, plays her as both delicate and already broken, but not without the ability to find joy. Alas, her lover Nathan (Kevin Kline) has extreme mood swings and their mutual friend Stingo (Peter MacNicol) develops a ...

As young performer CC Bloom, Bialik practically bursts from the screen, and her instant friendship with the shy, lo...
Here's a side of World War II's end you might not have thought about. A brother and sister, orphaned and firebombed out of their homes, are slowly left to their own devices to survive in 1945 Japan. War's human costs — even to the ostensible "enemy" — are rarely weighed on the same scale as grand, historical victories. (Not Rated)
It's hard to say if Oscar-nominated Robin Williams' John Keating is a good English teacher. What he excels in when he's hired at a conservative Vermont prep school is actually stirring the pot and possibly getting his straitlaced students to think outside the box. Some do, and it's a glorious blossoming. Some don't, with tragic results. The things ...
If you thought the bonding of two women in movies like "Beaches" was enough to empty your tissue box, imagine what it's like to have six ladies of varying ages bonding, getting their hair done, and tending to the sickly one in the group? "Magnolias" is based out of a beauty parlor and features names like Julia Roberts, Dolly Parton, Shirley MacLain...
It's 1972 and Vada (Anna Chlumsky), the daughter of the local funeral director, has a BFF in Thomas (Macaulay Culkin), who's allergic to just about everything. It's one of those "summer that changed everything" films, from the quirkiness of their friendship to the woman her dad begins to date (and how Vada is not having it) to ... well, you can pro...
