The movies that make you cry in the sky
Virgin Atlantic is introducing an emotional health warning on films that have potential to be the biggest tearjerkers on board.
‘Water for Elephants’ and ‘Just Go With It!’ will be the first films to carry the new warning sign that will flash up before the start of the movies to advise passengers to have tissues at the ready and to press the call button for a shoulder to cry on. 


In a recent survey Virgin Atlantic found over half of respondents (55%) agreed their emotions become heightened when on a flight and 41% of men surveyed said they hid under blankets to hide their tears.
Psychologist Corinne Sweet said, 
“It is not surprising that a high flyers feel emotional at altitude as their defences are lower than usual, as they put themselves in someone else’s safe hands.â€
Virgin Atlantic’s film critic Jason Solomons said, â€We feel a strange kind of comfort in tears – George Clooney is going through the same hurt as me; Jennifer Aniston is as desperate as me; if Kate Hudson can have a happy ending, so can I….â€
The top 10 movies that made Virgin Atlantic passengers weep are:


1) Toy Story 3

2) The Blind Side

3) Eat Pray Love

4) My Sister’s Keeper

5) Seven Pounds

6) Brokeback Mountain

7) The Notebook

8) Gran Torino

9) Invictus

10) Billy Elliott
