Who doesn't love a good tear-jerker? Whether you're looking for an epic tragedy that will leave you bawling, a life-affirming heroic tale, or a cry-off-your-mascara romance, a good weep can be the solution to all your problems.

So get those tissues, get under the duvet and let those feels do their thing, because we've trawled our favourite streaming services to bring you the best sad movies to cry your heart out to. It's healthy to have a good cry, after all.

Netflix has its fair share of weep-worthy movies. Not only have they just added triple Oscar-winner (and absolute sob-fest) The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and Seven Pounds (double sob-fest), they produced the super emotional Marriage Story.

 Scarlett Johansson and Adam Driver play a couple going through a divorce and, well, let's just say it will rip your heart out and stamp all over it.

The streaming service is also home to the absolute tear-jerker classic, Dear John (from Nicholas Sparks, the same author behind The Lucky One), with Channing Tatum and Amanda Seyfried.

The story sees the pair separated in the post 9/11 conflict and exchange a series of love letters as their childhood sweetheart romance is put to the test.

If you are looking for a repeat cry then of course there are some of the classics including Titanic. It's sad enough as it is, but thinking about Leonardo's Dicaprio's bone structure being lost to the sea is possibly the most troubling aspect of the entire narrative.

Netflix has also just added Revolutionary Road, directed by king of the tearjerkers Sam Mendes, about an unravelling couple which sees Leo and Kate Winslet team up again, 12 years after the release of Titanic.

Other classics which are guaranteed to induce tears include Moulin Rouge. It may have a pumping soundtrack in places but the visionary musical has its fair share of heartbreaking moments as Nicole Kidman's show girl falls HARD for a penniless writer played by Ewan Mcgregor at his absolute FINEST - in both senses of the word.

Warning: do not attempt without a large tub of ice cream and tissues in easy reach.
