Sad but Beautiful Movies About Illness

As a chronically ill person myself, I watch a lot of poignant movies about sick people. They are sad but often very inspiring. Here's a list of all the movies I can think of depicting a wide range of physical illnesses. (For mental illnesses check out 'Insanely Good Movies About Mental Health'). No spoilers, by the way - sometimes people get better.
