Sophie Zawistowski is a Polish immigrant in New York, whose father and husband were murdered in a German work camp in the World War 2. Sophie, on the other hand, was interned at Auschwitz. When taken to Auschwitz, Sophie has to make the heart-wrenching of deciding which one of her children would survive to work in the labour camp. Sophie chooses her son Jan, and her daughter Eva is sent to die. Get the tissues at the ready; you\u2019re going to need them.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4lj185DaZ_o\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Dead Poets Society<\/h3>\n<p>The late, great Robin Williams may have been known for family-friendly films with goofy roles \u201d\u201c but arguably his finest moment came as English teacher John Keating in the adaptation of <em>Dead Poets Society<\/em>. The quirky teacher caught the boy\u2019s attention and taught them much more than the English language. The boys restart the defunct Dead Poets Society that Keating was once a part of, and Neil \u201d\u201c one of his students \u201d\u201c discovers a love of acting. This goes against his father\u2019s wishes for him, who pulls Neil from school. It\u2019s an emotional rollercoaster, but an acting masterclass from the poignant Robin Williams.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/G59ivoXtmW4\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Beaches<\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s almost impossible not to cry at <em>Beaches<\/em>, which stars Bette Midler and Barbara Hershey. <em>Beaches<\/em> tells the story of two young girls and their friendship throughout the ages. Cecelia Carol \u201d\u02dcC.C\u2019 Bloom and Hillary Whitney are worlds apart, but their friendship transcends through childhood, adolescence and turbulent adulthood. C.C is a singer who hits plenty of bumps along the road whereas Hillary is a lawyer. Even when they\u2019re apart, they support each other through the trials and tribulations they face.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ORFWdXl_zJ4\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Up<\/h3>\n<p><em>Up<\/em> is one of Pixar\u2019s modern triumphs. Carl Fredricksen may appear to be a cantankerous older gentleman, but he\u2019s really a soft, loving guy who has faced some tough times. Early into the movie, we meet his friend Ellie, a keen explorer like Carl, and see their friendship blossom. They go on to get married and try to start a family \u201d\u201c but unfortunately this wasn\u2019t to be. They grow old together, but Ellie passes away and leaves Carl alone. Even though this segment is silent, you can hear the audience sob their hearts out. Carl goes on to live out Ellie\u2019s life-long dream of exploring Paradise Falls, even if she isn\u2019t there to enjoy it.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019d like to settle down to one of these tearjerkers, head to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.musicmagpie.co.uk\/store\/\">musicMagpie Store<\/a>\u00a0now!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/192.168.3.178\/store\/film-tv\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6492 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/192.168.3.178\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/startselling.jpg\" alt=\"Start Selling\" width=\"400\" height=\"80\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.musicmagpie.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/startselling.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.musicmagpie.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/startselling-300x60.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As much as we love movies that make us laugh, there\u2019s a simple pleasure in a movie that moves you to tears.
