And this is where it all began back in 1999. The first of many Nicholas Sparks films that would require a plentiful supply of tissues, chocolate and ideally a friend to look at and yell, "I can't take any more!" through streams of tears. Kevin Costner. Check. Mysterious letter in a bottle that leads our leading lady on a search to find the future l...
Richard Gere and James Franco get this film off to a really strong start. But by this point (2008), old Sparks is well into his gut-wrenchingly upsetting stride, which means only one thing - death, sandwiched by sadness. And that's not a happy sandwich, we can tell you. Gere plays Paul, who falls in love with Adrienne while staying at her B&B, as t...
You know, The Lucky Onehas its sad moments, but Zac Efron naked other than some tiny tight boxer shorts REALLY helps with the pain for some reason. (We know the reason: It's his abs. His wonderful tanned abs.) There are some emotional bits when Zac's ex-army character Logan explains to Beth that he was there when her brother Drake died, but there's...
Here is a prime example of Nicholas Sparks making your bottom lip quiver in the most unexpected of ways. Josh Duhamel plays Alex, the tall dark and handsome leading man whose wife has recently died of cancer. But just when he thinks he'll never love again, Julianne Hough turns up in town. It's not until later that we find out Hough has fled a viole...
It's Nicholas Sparks, with added Miley Cyrus goodness. So far, so good. Miley plays moody teenager Ronnie who falls in love with Will, played by none other than Miley's real long-term (now ex-)boyfriend Liam Hemsworth, who she began dating during filming. And just when you think things are going surprisingly well, BAM! Nicholas kills off Miley's on...
Right, if you haven't seen The Best Of Meyet, skip this one, because *MAJOR SPOILER ALERT* we talk about the sad bits, which inevitably includes break-ups, death and crushing heartbreak. It's a pretty standard Sparks storyline - posh girl (Amanda) meets slightly less posh guy (Dawson), who has a good heart despite his upbringing. They fall in love,...
There's no denying Nicholas Sparks knows how to pick a leading man. It's just a shame that his films are SO sad we are usually crying too much to fully appreciate their faces through the vision-blurring tears. Channing Tatum plays John, a soldier who has his heart broken by Savannah when she marries Tim, who is battling cancer. John and Savannah's ...
Oh, where do we begin? After the cutest romance ever, we have to put up with Allie's stupid mother hiding Noah's letters as if she doesn't want her daughter to go out with Ryan Gosling. Is she MAD? We finally get to see them reunited after so much to-ing and fro-ing it is almost too much to take, only to realise that in the present day, Allie has A...
Sure, this might not have received the same cult status as The Notebookand it doesn't have Ryan Gosling, but it does have one of the greatest actresses of our time, and indeed one of the most iconic singers to boot, Mandy Moore. Yes, Noah and Allie's story is heartbreaking, but at least they die together in old age after a full and happy life. Land...
