BEACHES
Grab the Kleenex! Everyone needs a good cry now and then. To get the tears flowing, Oprah.com's Screening Room recalls nine movies (in no particular order) that shift the waterworks into overdrive.

In the ultimate chick flick, Bette Midler and Barbara Hershey play unlikely best friends—a gregarious performer and a conservative socialite.
