Tear Jerker DVDs

Classic tear jerker DVDs are almost always about loss. The type of loss experienced by the protagonist of the film is often of a romantic or familial nature, including pets, of course. Old Yeller is a timeless example. Sometimes the theme of a tearjerker is lost time or opportunity lost in life. Tear jerker movies are generally defined as those that can make even a tough cookie shed a few tears. The best tear jerkers are films with great writing, acting and directing. Often they are epic dramas depicting war or other great tragedies of the human experience. MGM Home Entertainment movies include timeless examples of the genre in its list of available titles. Many of these sentimental films are recommended viewing for everyone.
