These movies are mostly romantic, but they really hit you in the heartstrings.

'Camille'

This cute movie is actually a weird, wtf-just-happened kinda movie. The girl, Camille, is a chatty Kathy good girl and James Franco plays a bad boy who hates life. They end up getting married and go on their honeymoon to the most romantic place, Niagara Falls. As they get going on their roadtrip, they crash, leaving Camille feeling funny. Watch as it unfolds and shows some of the weird things that happen when you have near death experiences, or death experiences.

'Before I Fall'

I cried and hated this movie when I saw it. It's like a redemption Groundhog Day. This girl goes through the same day, for a long time, only to die at the end and get woken up at the same time the next day. She treats the day differently everyday and realizes what she needs to do differently and tries to change so her life can get back to normal, but it's not just her life that she's trying to save.

'Bakery in Brooklyn'

I just watched this cute film and it is a unique one. Two very different girls are given a bakery after their aunt dies. They both have very different ideas to change it up, but they have one thing in common. The bank wants to foreclose on it, so they need to make money to make ends meet. And there is a little love kindling on the way.

'To The Bone'

If you have ever dealt with any sort of body image issue, this is a movie you need to watch. I am not saying it will cure you, but it might hit a few heartstrings while you watch it. It shows a girl who is dealing with anorexia and the problems that come with it. She stays in a house with other people dealing with problems similar to hers. The doctor who put her there hopes that it will help her cope with what is happening.

'Sleeping With Other People'

Two college kids lose their virginity to one another and somehow become sex addicts. Where did they go wrong? Were they both just that good? They end up seeing each other at a meeting and build a friendship unlike any other that they have had. No SEX. And it becomes the best thing for them. It shows you that relationships can just be built on talking to each other about real things, and real problems.

'Keith'

This tearjerker is about a popular girl who gets "swept" off her feet by her chemistry partner. And Jesse McCartney's character is just a free spirited weirdo who wants to ruin this girl's life. On top of that, he has a terminal disease just waiting to take him.

'Moonrise Kingdom'

Get ready to laugh. This romcom drama is about an orphan boy scout who falls in love with an older woman. They go off on their own adventure to be with one another because no one approves of this match! And they somehow find a turtle with a name on its tummy.

'Before We Go'

Are you ready to go on an adventure with a hot stranger? That's what this lady does. Her purse gets stolen, and she receives help from Chris Evans' character. They go around the city looking for this purse while they are both dealing with relationship issues. They find solace from each other because they both know what the other is going through.

'A Little Bit of Heaven'

Now this movie is a real tearjerker. This woman is all about life and what it has to offer. She is a free spirit. One day, she goes to the doctor because she is feeling some pain and finds out that she has terminal cancer. She ends up falling in love with the doctor, but he is conflicted because she is his patient and she is literally dying in front of his eyes.

'Love, Rosie'

I love this movie. It's about two best friends, above, and it's a classic boy likes girl and girl isn't aware. After one incident at prom, their whole lives are now different and they are both on different paths. Spoiler alert: They end up seeing each other for who they are, like, ten years later and fall deeply in love with each other.
