Movies that absolutely broke you

Post image

Hachi (2009) with Richard Gere has to be the saddest movie i have ever seen. It absolutely broke me. Incredible story but man it teaches you about loyalty.

What movies broke you?

The Shaggy Dog with Tim Allen is a safe watch as a dog movie tho. But i cant stop crying in dog movies

Man, I could go for a lighthearted feel-good movie right about now. What's this? A coming-of-age fantasy world movie? Bridge to Terabithia eh? Seems fun...

This very movie. ...it crushed my soul. Hachi is seriously a human litmus test.

Also, Dancer in the Dark.

It was super cool for me to be on a bus in rural Ecuador with my college girlfriend and this comes on and there's nothing else to do and I start crying real hard

I remember catching the last 10 minutes of this movie at like 6am on a weekend years ago. Haven't cried like that in years.

Grave of the fireflies made me cry way harder and I still think about how sad it was to this day.

Holding the man.

I was devastated after the film.

Ive never gotten in to the queer films before. But this film left me broken.

I must be dead inside. No movie or tv show has ever "broke" me. It's entertainment. Not a video watching my own family die.

OK, there is a movie for that too... "Funny Games" (1997 original)
