Call me a weirdo (weirdo) but I love a weepie. Have quite a few in my DVD collection that I dig out when I want to cry, all rated from silent tears to full out sobs.
Watching Brokeback Mountain which is in my collection, got me thinking about what the ultimate tear-jerker double bill would be.
This is what I have to choose from the 'full out sobs' category:
- Brokeback Mountain
- Single Man
- Bright Star
- Third Star
- Never Let Me Go
- Atonement
- Jane Eyre
So here's my list of the best pairings:
Brokeback Mountain & Single Man - Gay heart break
Bright Star/Atonement/Jane Eyre - Costume drama heart break
Never Let Me Go & Third Star - Terminal heart break
What would be your ultimate weepie double bill?
A Summer Story followed by Bambi!!! Sob city!!

I don't think I've ever seen Sophie's Choice so that's definitely going on the Love Film list. My Brother Tom and Boy in the Striped Pyjamas are a good pairing.

Mega-weepie Sophie's Choice and Brokeback Mountain.
My Brother Tom and The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas next to keep them flowing.
