films, but be warned, they're
tearjerkers!
10. Dirty Dancing
Nobody puts Baby in a corner, especially not when she's fallen madly in love with a dance instructor at the holiday camp her family's spending the summer at. Much to the dislike of her father, Baby learns how to dance and love from the older and more experienced Johnny.
9. Breakfast at Tiffany's
Holly Golightly is looking everywhere for love, but she can't quite seem to find it — that is, until she meets Paul, who will change everything for her.

Cary Grant, James Stewart and Katherine Hepburn star in this classic Hollywood romance about a woman whose ex-husband returns to her on the eve of her second marriage, and she must quickly figure out what her heart truly desires.
