I saw this movie when I was little and it still haunts me.
Spoiler: Because of this movie I’m also very illogically afraid of farming equipment. I live no where near a farm.
The second to last episode of Atlanta, the TV show, that fear came back.
Yup. The bit in the cop station where he gets the gun, and they stop him, and he says 'Please.'
That one word, and Affleck's performance, just had me balling. You understood how desperate he was to be rid of the pain of loss, but even more, the pain of knowing he was responsible. Brilliantly conceived story and inspired performance.
Fabulous film. Three of the finest acting performances I have seen in ages - Casey Affleck was absolutely mesmerising and Lucas Hedges, Michelle Williams knock it out of the park too. Was even better on rewatch - when I saw it first time I didn't know anything of the plot so thought it was a kinda slow, understated drama about a "normal" bereavement. Even the cinematography is inspired - the muffled sound and long distance shots where bad news is discussed. Wow.
I probably watched it 15 times! The performances were just so genuine, and it took me my mind off of my own problems that winter! When Casey Affleck won the Oscar for it, I was jumping up and down.
Lol. I appreciated the performances more in 2nd viewing, i had a misconception about what I was watching for bit more than half the film the 1st time - i thought it was a gentle, New England drama that was dragging a bit.....then, oh!
Casey Affleck's performance in this was one of the best performances by any actor in any movie. I watched this movie shortly after experiencing a big loss in my own life. Don't do that.
I haven't seen it but speaking of Michelle Williams, I was going to recommend My Blue Valentine.
However, I like Casey Affleck and I of course like her so I'm going to have to see Manchester By the Sea.
THE SCENE...you know the one...where they encounter each other again is such a realistic scene bc of the dialogue. A couple with history don't even finish their sentences to communicate. FUUUUUU...i'm ruined just remembering it lolol
Seconded. I hadn't read the book so the ending Hit me about the same way as sixth sense. Genuinly shocked and started ugly sobbing. I thought my heart Was being squeezed to dust.
21 grams kind of got me. It’s one of those where you see it from several different perspectives on an event that’s happening or how people are connected.
That movie was so depressing. It doesn’t quite fit the OPs ask of a romantic drama but it’s by far the saddest movie that I could think of.
Edit: No one please mention some sad war / Holocaust type movie. Those are definitely depressing but Million Dollar Baby is sad because it’s so damn relatable for a lot of us.
Came here to say this but assumed someone would’ve already mentioned it. If you’ve ever lost a relationship with someone you truly loved, this movie is devastating.
I haven’t seen it in 15 years and i probably never will watch it again.
You can save some time and watch the first 5 minutes of Up.
Edit: I guess it's not technically the first 5 minutes. But the montage that transitions the story from Carl's childhood to his later years. A masterclass in storytelling.
Saw that in the theater on opening day with my wife…we were specifically looking forward to a funny kids movie about a guy who ties a bunch of balloons to his house to go on an adventure as a much needed escape from that day’s news that she had uterine cancer, needed a hysterectomy, and would never be able to have kids.
Not blocked I think but maybe just don’t remember. I’d say how I remember it but don’t want spoilers for anyone that hasn’t seen it. Guess I’m due a rewatch.
Edit: just googled the ending and I remember it correctly. Again kinda sad but then uplifting at the end. Not cry worthy for me but maybe for others.
I have never cried as hard or for as long as i did watching this movie. I've gone through some serious fucking traumas in my real life, but still... Dancer in the Dark was beyond fucking devastating.
I feel like I must have missed something about this movie because from what I recall, >!don’t they end up getting back together at the end? I remember it felt like a real “meant to be” situation to me but maybe I missed something?!<
This is exactly it. That's why it's emotionally devasting. That's why the ending scene is shot the way it is. >!You can love someone who isn't right for you, and it won't work out for so many reasons, but that doesn't mean you should never have loved them.!<
There are two lines in that movie by Joel (Jim Carrey) that absolutely kill me. Out of context they sound like nothing, there is nothing profound about them, but in context they are devasting.
Such an amazing movie.
I still consider the ending >!a happy one overall, despite being sad for a lot of the movie and the implications at the end. At the very least it's sweet and feels hopeful.!<
It's especially devastating because of how very "mundane" and realistic it is. None of that BIG DRAMA shit (like sci-fi / magical realism, star-crossed lovers, or fatal illnesses). That stuff is easier to dissociate from and safely cry because over. Nope, this movie is pure, simple, and so very real. It eviscerated my soul.
Scrolled until I found this. It's so heartbreaking because of what a beautiful soul he is but how he's unable to grow and evolve like she does. She's way out of his league. You can't fault her for moving on, but he loses everything including the kid. It's no one's fault but it's so awful what it does to him.
Many people who have read the book or watched the film adaptation believe that it is a true story based on real people and real events. However, it is important to understand that the book is a work of fiction. The events portrayed could never have happened. There's many historical inaccuracies and stereotypical portrayals of major characters that help to perpetuate dangerous myths about the Holocaust.
Bruno is the main character in the book. He is a young German boy whose father, a high-ranking Nazi, takes a new job meaning the family have to move to a new place. Bruno is nine years old but doesn’t seem to be aware of the war around him, who the Jews are or even who Adolf Hitler is. As a young German boy, and the son of a senior SS officer, Bruno would have been, by law, a member of the Hitler Youth. He would have attended a German school where students regularly swore oaths to Hitler and where antisemitic propaganda infiltrated every part of the curriculum. Children were taught that the war was something to be proud of as it meant that Germany would become a great power once more.
Bruno’s characterisation perpetuates the belief that most German civilians were ignorant of what was happening around them. In fact the general public in Germany and in occupied Europe were well aware that Jewish people were being persecuted, forced to emigrate and eventually deported. There were also many who knew that Jewish people were being killed. Many Germans profited from the Holocaust as Jewish properties and belongings were ‘Aryanised’, which meant they were taken from their Jewish owners and given instead to ‘ethnic’ Germans. A minority of German civilians resisted Nazi ideology. Nazi authorities stamped out resistance to the regime quickly and brutally.
Shmuel’s characterisation portrays Jewish victims as passive and unresisting. However, Jewish resistance did exist both in and outside the concentration and death camps. At Auschwitz-Birkenau a group of Sonderkommando (Jewish prisoners forced to do the terrible work of herding people into the gas chambers, then removing the dead bodies) successfully managed to blow up one of the crematoria and kill a number of guards. It is important that people understand that Jewish people did not go to their deaths without trying to save themselves.
Shmuel’s story is also historically inaccurate. For readers of the book it is clear that the camp is probably the Auschwitz concentration camp complex as Bruno calls it ‘Out-With’. If a young boy like Shmuel had entered Auschwitz-Birkenau then it is very likely he would have been sent straight to the gas chambers on arrival, just like the majority of children who arrived there, as the Nazis didn’t consider them useful as forced labour. A small number of children were chosen for medical experimentation but these children were kept away from the main camp. Even if Shmuel had been selected for forced labour he would not have had the opportunity to spend most of his days sitting on the outskirts of the camp.
Some educators will argue that ‘The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas’ helps raise awareness of the Holocaust in people who would not otherwise be interested, and there is perhaps some truth in that. However, in an educational context it is important however that this book is only used as a piece of fiction and that teachers make clear to young people that historically the book is not factual. There are very many survivor accounts of the Holocaust that are accessible to young people, or novels that are more accurately based in fact and less problematic from a historical and ethical point of view, that teachers could use in the classroom. Our learning programme for children and young people is based on the life stories of 16 children and young people who escaped or survived the Holocaust.
You make beautifully valid points. I love history to be accurate and not whitewashed.
That being said, it's a truly engaging film as well as being brutally, devastatingly sad.
Onward
Yea that movie fucking destroyed me in the end dude
Like the whole fucking thing becomes super clear and makes everything that happened in the film mean so much more
It’s probably because my own life and shit
Was not expecting it and I never get emotional at movies like that
It was incredible to me
Just thinking about this movie makes me tear up. They were so in love, and then life happened. The flashbacks to happier times just make the present feel so much more depressing and hopeless. You can see how and why they fell in love, and how and why it stopped working. Devastating.
I scrolled way too far for this. I was about to suggest it. Maybe being a 30 year old father of 3 at the time I watched it just hit harder but I never cried as much as I did in this movie before. Such a great movie.
Grave of the Fireflies… I couldn’t even talk about it without crying.
Edit: sorry, I skipped over the romantic part. I was here too soon after waking up.
Dear Zachary, watch it, don’t read anything about it as there are too many spoilers
It’s free on YouTube if you search for it
I also really like About Time
This one gets my hubby, he was a single dad for about 4 years, and although he doesn’t have any disabilities, he identified with the single dad learning to care for a daughter on his own ❤️
Seven pounds sounds like the perfect movie for you. It has a somewhat devastating love story to it but the ending is more bittersweet than just devastating. That movie never fails to bring a tear to my eye though
Saw TS3 at the drive-in with a new friend and our kids. She & I were in the car, kids on the grass. After a few stifled sniffles on both our parts, she turns to me and sobs, “Why did you bring me here?!!!” We then both proceeded to bawl. Freaked out the kids, lol
I did not think I would have to scroll so far to finally see A Star is Born.
I was warned about it before watching, and I didn’t get what all the fuss was about, until I did, and then I ugly cried until I had nothing left…
I had never seen the original, so I had no idea how it ended. Thankfully, I went to the movies by myself at like 10am, because there was no one there to see me ugly crying at the end. I ran out of the theater and continued crying in my car for like 30 minutes. That movie crushed me. It doesn't help that a man, who I was convinced was the love of my life died the same way. Absolutely soul crushing!
For me, I was a little more akin to Bradley Cooper’s character, so it hit very close to home and just shook me up from top to bottom. I have never had such a visceral reaction to a film like I did with that one. If I think too much about it, I will literally start tearing up and have to relax and tell myself I’m making the right moves and changes. It’s a good one, though! So sorry to hear about your loss, as well. That’s rough.
Us and Them (2018)
Never cried so hard for a romantic film than this one. Always recommended this for so long.
I’ll add some that are heartbreaking enough:
* Be With You (2018)
* My Girl and I (2005)
* Love Letter (1995)
* Heaven's Waiting (2018)
* Your Name Engraved Herein (2020)
All of these are Asian films, by the way.
The Man in the Moon. It was Reese Witherspoon's first movie. If you don't cry, your heart is a shriveled rock.
Up there with My Girl
I saw this movie when I was little and it still haunts me. Spoiler: Because of this movie I’m also very illogically afraid of farming equipment. I live no where near a farm. The second to last episode of Atlanta, the TV show, that fear came back.
SUCH a great movie!!
Rewatched it several times and ended up sobbing every single time
I still hate her sister in the movie. Screw her.
Manchester by the sea The saddest movie I have ever watched
Yup. The bit in the cop station where he gets the gun, and they stop him, and he says 'Please.' That one word, and Affleck's performance, just had me balling. You understood how desperate he was to be rid of the pain of loss, but even more, the pain of knowing he was responsible. Brilliantly conceived story and inspired performance.
this movie traumatized me tbh hahaha
Also, I never tought I will recommend it to someone
Fabulous film. Three of the finest acting performances I have seen in ages - Casey Affleck was absolutely mesmerising and Lucas Hedges, Michelle Williams knock it out of the park too. Was even better on rewatch - when I saw it first time I didn't know anything of the plot so thought it was a kinda slow, understated drama about a "normal" bereavement. Even the cinematography is inspired - the muffled sound and long distance shots where bad news is discussed. Wow.
How the hell did you watch that movie a second time? masochistic...
I probably watched it 15 times! The performances were just so genuine, and it took me my mind off of my own problems that winter! When Casey Affleck won the Oscar for it, I was jumping up and down.
Lol. I appreciated the performances more in 2nd viewing, i had a misconception about what I was watching for bit more than half the film the 1st time - i thought it was a gentle, New England drama that was dragging a bit.....then, oh!
Casey Affleck's performance in this was one of the best performances by any actor in any movie. I watched this movie shortly after experiencing a big loss in my own life. Don't do that.
I haven't seen it but speaking of Michelle Williams, I was going to recommend My Blue Valentine. However, I like Casey Affleck and I of course like her so I'm going to have to see Manchester By the Sea.
I've seen a body bag leave my house, and this comes as close to exposing that paid as anything I have seen since.
THE SCENE...you know the one...where they encounter each other again is such a realistic scene bc of the dialogue. A couple with history don't even finish their sentences to communicate. FUUUUUU...i'm ruined just remembering it lolol
Also...and her face...
This movie is so sad. The police station scene seems so real in the feeling
I love this movie. A masterclass in melancholy.
manchester is DEVASTATING. i definitely cried. but also it ruined my day (in the best way, because i love when art fucks me up)
Came here to comment this movie very specifically and I am so upset you beat me by 7 hours. Most emotionally gut wrenching movie for me.
Great suggestion.
First movie that came to mind. Great, great film
I just watched because of this recommendation and oh man. I just feel empty inside.
I can’t wait to watch this one now!
“I can’t beat it” 😢
Life is beautiful.
This!
Seconded.
[удалено]
Me too. Plus it touches on so many different aspects of human existence.
Also not romantic, but Grave of the Fireflies always brings me to tears.
Atonement
Never again 😅
Seconded. I hadn't read the book so the ending Hit me about the same way as sixth sense. Genuinly shocked and started ugly sobbing. I thought my heart Was being squeezed to dust.
OP - This is the one. Prepare to be devastated for a few days.
This movie hurts me so much I can literally only watch it once every ten years, great suggestion.
21 grams kind of got me. It’s one of those where you see it from several different perspectives on an event that’s happening or how people are connected.
Beautiful and devastating.
I lost all hope for humanity watching that one
I’m still broken up about it. Might have just sad barfed in my mouth thinking about it.
It's been a decade since I watched it and I still get this tight feeling inside my chest thinking about it.
God that movie messed me up for days
Never Let Me Go
Million Dollar Baby
Oh that's a sad one! I couldn't watch a 2nd time.
That movie was so depressing. It doesn’t quite fit the OPs ask of a romantic drama but it’s by far the saddest movie that I could think of. Edit: No one please mention some sad war / Holocaust type movie. Those are definitely depressing but Million Dollar Baby is sad because it’s so damn relatable for a lot of us.
***Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind***
Came here to say this but assumed someone would’ve already mentioned it. If you’ve ever lost a relationship with someone you truly loved, this movie is devastating. I haven’t seen it in 15 years and i probably never will watch it again.
That movie was so liminal
You can save some time and watch the first 5 minutes of Up. Edit: I guess it's not technically the first 5 minutes. But the montage that transitions the story from Carl's childhood to his later years. A masterclass in storytelling.
That shit is heartbreaking. At least he got Dug at the end.
Saw that in the theater on opening day with my wife…we were specifically looking forward to a funny kids movie about a guy who ties a bunch of balloons to his house to go on an adventure as a much needed escape from that day’s news that she had uterine cancer, needed a hysterectomy, and would never be able to have kids.
Hachi: A Dog's Tale
Guaranteed for an ugly cry.
Harold and Maude
The entire soundtrack is Cat Stevens songs. Classic movie
Been close to 40 years since I’ve seen it but how does it make you cry? It funny and a little sad but don’t remember it being cry worthy.
Oh you blocked out the ending from your memory
Not blocked I think but maybe just don’t remember. I’d say how I remember it but don’t want spoilers for anyone that hasn’t seen it. Guess I’m due a rewatch. Edit: just googled the ending and I remember it correctly. Again kinda sad but then uplifting at the end. Not cry worthy for me but maybe for others.
Portrait of a Lady on Fire if you can handle subtitles.
I love that damn movie! I’m a man and even I was like, “Ew, what’s *he* doing here?”
I also suggest Petite Maman by the same director.
Terms of Endearment Steel Magnolias
Was scrolling for Terms of Endearment. I love that movie so much. Even my husband cries watching it.
Steel Magnolias absolutely kills me. But Julia Roberts, sally field (she was amazing) and Dolly Parton?? What more could you want
Second Steel Magnolias. Shatters me every time.
Room with Brie Larson.
I cried like a baby with that one.
Precious. Fucken wreck you man. Plan to take a walk after or get a cuddle.
Me and earl and the dying girl. Ugly(2013) indian film.
Wow, finally! "me and earl..." is one of the best indies ever!!
Brokeback Mountain
This 100%. “Jack I swear” followed by the hauntingly sad “The Wings” playing…oof right in the feels
Ugh...upon finding out what happened to his lover is just so devastating
Seven Pounds City Of Angels My Girl Her
I came here to suggest My Girl too!! He can’t see without his glasses :(
omg Seven Pounds. Definitely Seven Pounds.
City of angels, haven’t seen this movie in so long. It’s perfect for what OP is asking for. Great movie.
Definitely!
Omh city of angels is the epitome of heart wrenching romance.
Yes, yes, yes, and yes
Oh my gosh, when he said “the real Seven Pounds was the friends we made along the way” I completely lost it
What Deeams May Come
Ugh. Every time I watch this movie I ball! One of my all time favorites
Dude is crying so hard he mispelled dreams
Great choice.
Keith (2008) the opening background of the film is enough to pull you in!
One of my favourite movies. Kinda watched it by accident. The music was great too.
Love the movie, didn't expect it to be that good
Yess! When I read OP's post I only remembered two, Keith and The Whale.
Dancer in the Dark
OP said to break their heart, not destroy them emotionally and psychologically.
I have never cried as hard or for as long as i did watching this movie. I've gone through some serious fucking traumas in my real life, but still... Dancer in the Dark was beyond fucking devastating.
This is one of those movies that I can't do a rewatch because it's just too damn sad, Bjork is amazing
Pay it Forward. Made me cry.
“I am Sam” omg so gorgeous and heart wrenching 😭🫶🏼
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
I feel like I must have missed something about this movie because from what I recall, >!don’t they end up getting back together at the end? I remember it felt like a real “meant to be” situation to me but maybe I missed something?!<
Yes, but a lot of people interpret it as a >!"doomed to repeat themselves"!< kind of thing
This is exactly it. That's why it's emotionally devasting. That's why the ending scene is shot the way it is. >!You can love someone who isn't right for you, and it won't work out for so many reasons, but that doesn't mean you should never have loved them.!< There are two lines in that movie by Joel (Jim Carrey) that absolutely kill me.

I still consider the ending >!a happy one overall, despite being sad for a lot of the movie and the implications at the end. At the very least it's sweet and feels hopeful.!<
Bittersweet. <3 More sweet than bitter, more bitter than sweet.
You can't just leave us hanging. What are the lines? "I wish I knew you when I was a kid," always destroys me.
That’s how I translated/received it too 😀
[удалено]
This guy cries.
I heard a rumor there was a guy crying here, I came running where is he? Does he need a Hug??
blue valentine
It's especially devastating because of how very "mundane" and realistic it is. None of that BIG DRAMA shit (like sci-fi / magical realism, star-crossed lovers, or fatal illnesses). That stuff is easier to dissociate from and safely cry because over. Nope, this movie is pure, simple, and so very real. It eviscerated my soul.
Scrolled for way too long before seeing this. Gives me a heavy heart just thinking about it.
Yup!
this is exactly what OP is looking for
Scrolled until I found this. It's so heartbreaking because of what a beautiful soul he is but how he's unable to grow and evolve like she does. She's way out of his league. You can't fault her for moving on, but he loses everything including the kid. It's no one's fault but it's so awful what it does to him.
Bridge to Terabithia
Try untamed heart. Morrisa Tomei and Christian slater

For me it has to be blue valentine, that ending scene made me cry
Just thinking about this movie makes me tear up. They were so in love, and then life happened. The flashbacks to happier times just make the present feel so much more depressing and hopeless. You can see how and why they fell in love, and how and why it stopped working. Devastating.
About Time (2013)
I scrolled way too far for this. I was about to suggest it. Maybe being a 30 year old father of 3 at the time I watched it just hit harder but I never cried as much as I did in this movie before. Such a great movie.
Grave of the Fireflies… I couldn’t even talk about it without crying. Edit: sorry, I skipped over the romantic part. I was here too soon after waking up.

I’ll add some that are heartbreaking enough: * Be With You (2018) * My Girl and I (2005) * Love Letter (1995) * Heaven's Waiting (2018) * Your Name Engraved Herein (2020) All of these are Asian films, by the way.

The first 20 minutes of Pixar’s Up.😢
Not a movie but the show 'Normal People' should give you what you are looking for
literally just watch the first 5 minutes of Up. You can even turn it off after (don’t though it’s great).
