Sometimes, when you're feeling low, the only way to cheer yourself up is to sulk. Yes, sulk. Rot. Brood. Whatever you want to call it. I'm not here to tell you to lift your chin up and persevere. All that does is delay the inevitable—and we know you don't have time to waste. Just feel your feelings!
What better way to get your sad juices flowing than by curling up on the couch and pressing play on a truly devastating film? Watching sad movies has a uniquely cathartic effect. If you can relate to a character's issues, you'll find that there's always light at the end of the tunnel. (That's the power of a three-act structure, people!) And if you can't? Well, hey!

In all seriousness, we're here to help you get through whatever has you down. Below, we've rounded up the saddest movies of all time. Whether you're in the mood for a sad history lesson, romance, or tale of redemption—we have you covered.
