November, it comes around every year and every year it is just as depressing as the previous one. Nights get darker, air gets colder, relationships end and everyone just wants this month to be over so the holidays can begin. Yet, even though we feel rubbish this time of the month, we still torture ourselves by watching romances that make us cry literal rivers. Well we have compiled a list of the most tear jerking romances ever to grace the film industry. This is nowhere near a finite list! Without further ado… contains spoilers.
10) (500) Days Of Summer (2009)
(500) Days of Summer masks itself as a quirky romantic comedy starring Zooey Deschanel and Joseph Gordon-Levitt but just as the narrator tells us “This is a story of boy meets girl, but you should know upfront, that is it not a love story”. Straight away our dreams of a cheery romantic comedy are dashed and Tom end’s up alone while Summer marries another dude. Sad Face.

3) Atonement (2007)
Cecilia (Keira Knightley) and Robbie Turner (James McAvoy) are desperately in love despite the fact she is from an upper class family and Robbie… well isn’t.

2) The Notebook (2004)
Yes, another one of Nicolas Sparks’s novel makes the list of the Top 10:Romances with Heartbreaking Endings. This time it is the unconditional love between Noah Calhoun (Ryan Gosling) and Allie Hamiilton (Rachel McAdams). The kissing-in-the-rain scene is probably the most romantic scene ever and every girl wishes to be kissed the way Noah kisses Allie. But don’t be fooled… the sadness of this film starts at the very beginning when the audience realise that their love is doomed.

AND THE WINNER IS……….
1) Titanic (1997)
The winner is the classic true story of the Titanic, which follows the doomed love between Jack Dawson (Leonardo DiCaprio) and Rose (Kate Winslet) as their time comes to an end with the sinking of the ship. This is particularly sad because the tragedy of the Titanic still haunts to this day! But we are pretty sure there was enough room for two on that door Rose! -_-
