I ’m gon na be honest : I used a whole box of tissue the first sentence I watchedOne Day , starring Anne Hathaway and Jim Sturgess .

Listen, I love happy movies as much as the next person, but sometimes I’m just in the mood to shut off all the lights in my apartment, turn on the TV, and weep over a movie.

In particular, I want to know if there are anyromance moviesyou absolutely love even though they have devasting and heartbreaking endings?

Perhaps you’re like me, andOne Day(2011), starringAnne Hathawayand Jim Sturgess, is one of your favorite movies even though you KNOW it will break your heart every single time. I legit knew the ending and I still watched the new Netflix series so I could suffer even more.

MaybePortrait of a Lady on Fire(2019) is singlehandedly one of thebest moviesyou’ve ever seen, and despite crying nonstop through the final minutes of the movie, you recommend it to everyone. It’s worth the pain. Period.

Perhaps nothing will ever compare toEternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind(2004), a movie that only gets better and better the more you watch it.

Heck, maybe no matter how many sad romance movies you watch, nothing will ever top how hard you cried watchingThe Notebook(2004) starringRyan Goslingand Rachel McAdams.
