What to know before choosing
Wanting to cry at a film is a very healthy want and very badly served by catalogs, which file these films under "drama" with ten thousand others. What is wanted here is specific: a film whose destination you know from the start and that you watch anyway. Sorting is by rating, because in this category a high rating marks a film that earned its tears rather than extracted them.
Disney+ is the most predictable catalog of the set, and that is its strength: what goes in rarely comes out. Lists about it therefore age better than the others. Its depth is real in animation and family, much thinner elsewhere — a "thriller on Disney+" page will always be shorter than an "animation on Disney+" page, and the catalog decides that, not the selection.
