In The Notebook we see the story of two young people who fall in love in the 1940s. We hear their story told by an old man who reads a notebook to his wife with Alzheimer’s.
Then we realize that he is trying to help her remember what they had to overcome so that their love would last for so many years. It’s a very bittersweet story.
3. Titanic
For years, this was the highest-grossing film of all time. No one could resist the story of this mythical ship, where a girl from the upper classes and a dreamer from the lower classes learn about true love. Sadly, the inevitable end leaves us all grieving.

Ghost shows how love is greater than life and death. One of the characters, Sam, has recently passed away and becomes a ghost who roams the world. Meanwhile, his beloved Molly mourns his loss. Thanks to a medium, they finally get the farewell they deserve.
Phrases to remember
Sometimes we can’t find the words to express our feelings. However, it’s amazing how some movies seem to have just the right words. Find a phrase that describes how you feel and share it with that special someone:
- “I think our love can do anything we want” – The Notebook.
- “I live for one thing, to love you, to make you happy, to live firmly and joyfully in the present” – Sweet November.
- “You can erase someone from your mind. Getting him out of your heart is another story” – Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
- “If you jump, I jump too, remember?” – Titanic
Why do we like to watch movies that make us cry?
We all cried watching that last scene from the Titanic. However, why do we like to watch it again and again? Don’t worry, we’re not masochists. It’s because watching a movie makes us cry, releases endorphins and trains our pain resistance. That’s why it’s kind of an ’emotional gym’.
Regardless of whether we have a partner or not and whether we are in love or not, we all have a certain need to watch romantic movies. That’s why we suggest you pull out the tissues and enjoy these six romantic movies that will make you cry.
