You know those sad romance movies that wreck you every time you watch them? The ones that — at the age of 12, having yet to go on a single date — left you utterly convinced that you knew what love's most tragic depths felt like? And the emotional movies that, as someone who's maybe now experienced a taste of love and loss yourself, continue to hurt so good?
Yeah, those. When it comes to sad romance movies that make you cry, honestly, we can't get enough. In the back of our minds, we totally know that most of the characters are made up (or, at the very least, are fictionalized adaptations of real people). But the emotions and heartbreaks, the wins and losses of being in love, still feel totally real. And isn't that what matters? We thought so.
Love's highs — and all of its beyond-anguishing lows (we love a good unrequited love song) — are explored in so many different ways in movies now
