I’m a huge ghibli fan and when I saw Grave of the Fireflies I was wrecked. I sobbed for hours, and it certainly didn’t help that I had bought the candy in the movie to try while I watched it before knowing the true significance of the candy jar
Requiem for a Dream absolutely tore out a part of my soul that I'll never get back. Ellen Burstyn as Sara Goldfarb is hands down the best acting I have ever seen. The Elephant Man made me wanna throw stuff at the TV because how how cruel people were. Irreversible has always stuck with me very much, especially the end quote: Le Temps De Truit Tout (time destroys everything, or, time destroys all things) because it is so true and so depressing.
Another depressing Korean film that ought to be on here is Han Gong-ju. It follows an ostracized girl who has to change schools and hide her identity from the public after being gang raped by over 40 men; but inevitably, her past comes back to haunt her. It's based on the Miryang gang rape case of 2004, where 41 men assaulted various middle and high school girls, but the victims were blamed whilst the perpetrators received little to no punishment
I'd include Night on the Galactic Railroad, it's about a cat named Giovanni who works after school to pay for his mother's medicine and soon encounters a train that rides into a spiritual world and finds his only friend Campenella also aboard. The movie asks the audience how can someone achieve happiness with examples being helping one another, following religion, and working on what you love. Giovanni slowly learns why people board the train as he interacts with the passengers with the final stop being a hard hitter to anyone watching
Manchester by the sea devastaded me I've never seen anything so realistic in capturing human expressions, the ending is fair, and there really are things that feel like you'll never get over.
Some of these movies are recent so I get why they're not here, but I'd add: -Aftersun: A woman remembers the last vacations she spent with her father as a girl before a tragic event. -The Farewell: A chinese-american girl visits her grandma who is dying of cancer, but no one on the family is allowed to tell her. -Melancholia: 2 sisters spend their last days on Earth as planet Melancholia is about to crash with it. -Portrait of a Lady on Fire: A painter is hired by a wealthy woman to paint a portrait of her daughter who is about to get married, however she slowly starts falling in love with her. -Four Long Days: An addict goes back to her mother's house, trying to get out of addiction. They find a treatment that will highly increase her odds of staying clean; however this treatment requires for her to stay clean for four more days.
Oh, also a personal favorite which was just released last year; Tótem: a mexican movie about a little girl who is helping her family to plan a birthday party for her father who is in last stages of cancer.
I am Sam fucking broke me, dude! Intellectual disabilities (and the feelings of inadequacy that comes with it and how it’s perceived) and parental custody are two subjects that just hit me VERY closely for whatever reason, so I was basically in tears through the whole damn movie. Sometimes, I’m a sucker for movies that turn me into a blubbering lil bitch.
I cried hysterically for like half an hour after seeing Hotel Rwanda. I've never been that genuily distraught by a movie before. Of course, the fact that it's based on real events (the genocide in Rwanda) accounts for much of it.
If it helps, he wasn't depressed for most of his life, as far as I know. He committed suicide because he had Lewy body dementia, which would have left him debilitated and in immense pain. He chose to end his life before he got too sick.
@@MrsSmith99st His widow said that it wasn't depression that killed him, but that he took his own life before his illness progressed. I was mistaken, though, he did deal with depression at times during his life. That's my bad.
@@MrsSmith99st he was misdiagnosed with Parkinson’s not long before his death, with many believing his suicide was related to depression associated with the diagnosis (including Michael J. Fox who came forward about his own experiences with depression when he was first diagnosed with the disease). Robin’s brain was deteriorating pretty rapidly from the Lewey Bodies and since he was becoming less and less cognizant of who and where he was, he did not want his family or the public to witness that. His widow did mountains of research for the next few years after his passing, and a documentary was put out online about her findings and about the last moments of Robin’s life. He did struggle with depression throughout his life but was able to beat it years before the disease that would take his life.
I remember seeing this on Reddit. It’s nice you made a video on it. Keep it up👍 The elephant man and nobody knows, a Japanese film about a mother who abandoned her children and were left to fend for themselves, should be on here somewhere. Both films were based on a true story.
Nobody knows is a film I watched on a whim not knowing anything about it and it instantly became one of my favourite films ever. Such a great but tragic film.
I’m trying to become a script writer and I’ve been trying to look things up to come up with new stories to write and your content has so bingeable. Thank you for your time and effort!
I would add "Ichi rittoru no namida" to this list. It's a Japanese TV series consisting of 11x 45 minute episodes so doesn't strictly qualify in that sense. However in the sadness department it absolutely does. It's about a girl who develops a terminal illness in her teens (which refreshingly isn't cancer, ALS or Alzheimers). The story documents how her parents react to receiving the news and how they're conflicted as to whether they should even inform their daughter and the rest of the family, to the girl's pain from finding out the truth, to the girl with the family's support trying to "live around" the disease as it keeps moving the goalposts further and further away. The story is aided by: strong performances, an impressive soundtrack, a very believable family dynamic, a just in general well written setup to payoff structure throughout and lastly the fact that (save for one episode I consider slightly weaker) the series conveys most of it's sadness through how the disease limits our lead instead of just piling sad events on top of each other. Unless you just can't tolerate sad stories at all "ichi rittoru" is a must watch. Those who are interested can find out the English title for themselves. Did I mention it's (very) loosely based on a true story?
I'd add "The Illusionist" and maybe "The Triplets of Belleville," both directed by Sylvain Chomet. They're often described as comedies, but parts of "Triplets" are surprisingly devastating and the last parts of "The Illusionist" made me actually sob out loud.
beautiful boy could have been referring to a different film with the same name from 2010, which is also an incredibly depressing experience about the parents of a school shooter dealing with the aftermath of the massacre
Also, grave of the fireflies fuckin killed me it was so sad. I was too young to understand the full grasp of what was going on, but my god, the little girl’s slow death…
I would add the grey zone and the horror movie suspirira (2018) because: One, the grey zone speaks about the Sonderkommando, Jewish prisoners who were forced to work in the crematoriums, burining family members and the like. Two, Suspiria, while not a tear jerker, defo talks about post WWII Germany, the political strife it has, and one of the main characters is a Holocaust survivor who reminisces about his wife (it is not made clear whether she survived and fled, or died.)
A good movie for this list would be Always: Sunset on 3rd Street. It's an absolutely gut wrenching Japanese film about finding family, reconnecting with people you lost and losing those you're closest to no matter what you do.
I love content like this (just watched the disturbing books one before this), but I do have one complaint (since the Brandon Teena thing was addressed). Ofelia isn't told that she's the daughter of Satan in Pan's Labyrinth. Satan is not involved with the plot at all
I remember watching some sad(I guess) movie There was a boy who has plant grown on his body, the only person who know this besides the family is some girl who saved him from drowning in the pool(or vice versa i don't remember details). I remember that his parents go searching for him in forest(?) at night, there was propably also rain i suppose I unfortunately don't know title Sfmbe
I just started the video but seeing Cidade de Deus on the thumbnail is so cool. It's one of my favorite movies of all time but is sadly overlooked; it being foreign and whatnot.
I don’t mind sad movies but there are times that certain films will make me cry, especially when they make me think of certain events in my life that have happened to me & make me tear up. Still, this is still an interesting video my good man👍
I just watched Seize The Day (another movie starring Robin Williams) and it ends on a very bleak note; the movie is about a guy in the 1950s going through a series of misfortunes where basically if something can go wrong, it does. Throughout the film, we see how he failed at becoming a Hollywood actor, was separated from his wife and estranged from his children, left his job after his position was unceremoniously given to his boss’s son, how his father doesn’t respect or approve of him, and he ends up losing all of his money in the stock market as his wife is simultaneously extorting him with threats of not being able to see his kids until he pays her money.
My favourite movie of sad story is really no child of mine cuz the last scene when she was hugging that lady and was crying and that song was really made me cry
kind of thought the movie "Bright Young Things" and "My Own Private Idaho" would be on this list, though, I understand why they weren't. there are countless sad movies out there and it would be impossible to account for them all. either way there are a few new movies to add to my watch list, great vid.
Secrets and Lies is also an excellent drama about a dysfunctional middle class family in Britain. Just adding this here. Nevertheless, the iceberg was perfect.
I'd like to add two suggestions, both about the AIDS crisis in the 80s. A Normal Heart with Mark Ruffalo and Jim Parsons is one, and the second is ...And The Band Played On which has an all star cast including Matthew Modine, Ian McKellen and BD Wong. Really good movies but a bit hard to watch.
EDIT #1 (May 26th, 7:43am): One, HOLY HELL, I didn’t realize how much I typed. Sorry about that, I tend to get carried away with these kinds of things. Two, I just realized that some of the movies on this iceberg are also on the disturbing movies iceberg! :0 I’m halfway there (ohh! Living on a prayer!) and; oh my god, it’s hyperfixation time. Though, by the time I’m done with this comment, I’m probably nearly done with the video. I was OBSESSED with Wonder when I was in middle school. It’s an amazing read, and it will make you laugh and cry. I haven’t seen the movie yet, and I really want to! Actually, a little fun fact; I met the author of Wonder (R.J. Palacio) during a book signup, and I almost cried while meeting her, and I still have the photo. I even got the comic about Julian’s parents before it’s official release, since my mom works with publishers as a side job. Oh, and I was also obsessed with Perks of Being a Wallflower in 9th grade, it’s also a book I recommend, but like Wonder, I haven’t seen the movie. I also remember watching Freedom Writers in like 8th grade, since my favorite teacher (who was my Social Studies teacher) would put movies on Fridays. Such a good movie! She also showed us A Time To Kill, and I remember being traumatized by that movie because of the opening scene. I don’t know if they’re on the list, but 12 Years A Slave (which I watched twice, thanks to having the same beautiful and kind teacher in 10th grade who taught African American Studies and Civil History) is DEFINITELY a cruel but ultimately great watching experience. Marshall (2017, with Chadwick Boseman) is good too. Okay, hyperfixation moment done? Who knows! I might babble on a bit more. Spoiler: I will… Definitely adding some of these on my to watch list. Things haven’t really been the best, but they haven’t been the worst either, so I need a really good cry. I can’t stay for long, since I gotta go to work soon (first day, too! Really excited yet really nervous, hehe). I’ll definitely continue on rambling (maybe by giving out little facts for each movie I have seen/know about) after I’m out (I believe my hours are like… 3pm-9pm). It’s currently 7am here, and even though that’s a little early to get ready, I still think I should… in a hour or two. @-@
Haha no need to apologize! A lot of the movies you mention watching in school I did too haha and yeah they definitely still hit just as hard. Have a good first day and I'm glad your enjoying the content/ finding recommendations
one movie that should be on here is love Kennedy. it's a true story about a girl who gets juvenile batten disease. one of the saddest movies I've ever seen. book is even sadder. along with the shack. the shack is about a dad coming to terms with his daughter dying and them never finding the body. I've only been able to watch it once. also crazy to me that love Simon isn't here. other then that I love this vid and how u explain things
It’s not a “traditionally” sad movie, and the first time I saw it I went in knowing the ending (having seen it live as a 7 year old :/), but Senna never fails to reduce me to floods of tears.
I'd say its traditionally sad... it always is when someone so young dies in a tragic accident. Thats insane you where there though, hope you're all good
@@antonioalexander1 I wasn’t there, it was on TV. But I was so excited to be able to watch the race live, it was a Bank Holiday weekend so I didn’t have my swimming lesson that day. I am hoping to get to Imola for the 30th anniversary.
You just zoomed through like 500 movies & their imdb summaries. That's not an interesting iceberg video. U didn't give any personal opinions. It seemed like u probly hadn't seen about 90% of the movies.
That’s the point. To look at them objectively, to point a finger at it and jet audience do as they please with the information. You’re completely missing what the point of these iceberg videos are, they aren’t opinion pieces, they are objective rundowns to let the viewers continue the research as they desire.
I just watched Keep The Lights On from tier 6 and i didn't find that sad tbh. Maybe the OP of this iceberg relates to the story that's why he put it so low in the iceberg and if my guess turns out to be true then I hope the OP is doing well. It was a good movie though. Good acting. good story. Good choice of soundtrack. Definitely worth watching it again. Way better than CMBYN imo. Thank you. Edit : I watched it again, it's quite depressing tbh. It left me feeling empty. Edit 2: watched another movie called The Revival 2017 starring Zachary Booth from Keep The Lights On, it is fucked up to say the least. But it served a good job showing hypocrisy at its finest. It tells an important story. It's realistic. A good movie it is.
Dang I respect this ice berg especially midsommer even though I didn't really feel sad watching it once you mentioned it I remembered how emotionally numb that movie made me feel and I realised that it was just a different level of sadness also I was expecting you to include a silent voice have you watched it?
I don't know if a lot of people know this movie i never hear anyone talk about it but I kill giants broke me I went into it thinking it was gonna be a fun fantasy movie no it was a psychological drama that broke me and my mom we where sobbing by the end of it I'm not spoiling it go watch it it's actually really good
Just a thing: Gone with the wind follows Scarlett O'hara and Rhett Buttler, Ashley Wilkes is a secondary character. An important one but still not Rhett Buttler.
A Monster Calls is the BEST COMEDY ever made 🤣. Watched it, bad acting, kid breaks stuff & horrifies his Grandma & Mom tells hims that if you want to break stuff then go ahead & break whatever you want 🤣.
The family in Grand Torino is Hmong, not Korean, also the kids not a gang banger (SPOILER) His cousin's a gang banger, and he kills the old man at the end of the movie in a shootout.
Brandon Teena should have been referred to with he/him pronouns.
Fuck your right I was definitly thinking of Hillary Swank. Apologies.
@@antonioalexander1 it's cool, it happens to everyone now and again. Thanks for being understanding.
No
@@HGAMES69 Wow, convincing argument. You sure showed me. /s
No
For being a comedian, Robin Williams sure is good at being in sad movies
He was also a Shakespearean trained actor who attended Juliard.

The ending of Johnny Got His Gun still fucks with me
I never saw this one because i saw the Mista GG video and he was so sad and affected about it that i said to myself: better not.
Same
Some of these movies are recent so I get why they're not here, but I'd add:
-Aftersun: A woman remembers the last vacations she spent with her father as a girl before a tragic event.
-The Farewell: A chinese-american girl visits her grandma who is dying of cancer, but no one on the family is allowed to tell her.
-Melancholia: 2 sisters spend their last days on Earth as planet Melancholia is about to crash with it.

I watched Schindler’s List with my mom. Yeah she cried the whole entire time understandably
I watched Schindler‘s List with my mom after my boyfriend broke up with me, all in all not a good combination, we cried a lot🥲😮💨
Your channel is so underrated. The way give a synopsis is addicting.
Im glad you enjoyed!

Thank you! I've hear of elephant man but I'll definitly look into nobody knows
I will also add Onibaba from Kaneto Shindo. A japanish sad and disturbing film from the 60' about two women surviving the civil war. A hard one.
@@miramuchachito296 i own the blu ray but still have to watch it haha

I’m trying to become a script writer and I’ve been trying to look things up to come up with new stories to write and your content has so bingeable. Thank you for your time and effort!

@@antonioalexander1 So, Did you ever get the chance to watch it?
If sad the video ends
I feel like Blood in Blood Out should’ve been on the iceberg somewhere, definitely made me cry
I'd add "The Illusionist" and maybe "The Triplets of Belleville," both directed by Sylvain Chomet. They're often described as comedies, but parts of "Triplets" are surprisingly devastating and the last parts of "The Illusionist" made me actually sob out loud.
I've never heard of them but will definitly look into it now!

I think The Elephant Man should’ve been included
Keep up the Amazing work ❤️ Love the icebergs
Thank you so much!
I’d add „the House of Sand and Fog“! Ben Kingsley is acting his Soul out in this movie. Highly recommended!
I feel like Lilya 4-ever and A Dogs Purpose should’ve been on this iceberg.
I remember watching life is beautiful in middle school. The ending was sad yet I consider it to be bittersweet.
Also, grave of the fireflies fuckin killed me it was so sad. I was too young to understand the full grasp of what was going on, but my god, the little girl’s slow death…
Grave of the Fireflies left me in a depressed mood when I was watching it.
I would add the grey zone and the horror movie suspirira (2018) because:
One, the grey zone speaks about the Sonderkommando, Jewish prisoners who were forced to work in the crematoriums, burining family members and the like.

Oh yeah, that's true lol I havent seen it in the while. But the way the audience is told the story, I think it does mention it in the beginning
I would add “The Memphis Belle”, last parts are very emotional
Julien Donkey Boy, Grave of The Fireflies, and A Woman Under The Influence are also some phenomenal sad films.
I remember watching some sad(I guess) movie
There was a boy who has plant grown on his body, the only person who know this besides the family is some girl who saved him from drowning in the pool(or vice versa i don't remember details).
I remember that his parents go searching for him in forest(?) at night, there was propably also rain i suppose

The Odd Life of Timothy Green?
I think u right
I just started the video but seeing Cidade de Deus on the thumbnail is so cool. It's one of my favorite movies of all time but is sadly overlooked; it being foreign and whatnot.
Grave of the Fireflies was not only released the same year as My Neighbor Totoro, it was made by the same studio
I don’t mind sad movies but there are times that certain films will make me cry, especially when they make me think of certain events in my life that have happened to me & make me tear up. Still, this is still an interesting video my good man👍
Funny how some of theses come from the disturbing movie iceberg
Rabbit-Proof Fence. The story about three sisters trying to find their way home after being separated. Based on a true story.
Plague Dogs should be way lower on the list. Its painfully sad since minute 1 and disturbing all throughout the film
Surprised ivans childhood wasnt on there. That movie messed me tf up

About Time is not would i call a sad movie. It’s probably one of the most wholesome movies I’ve ever seen!
Probably Midori, A.K.A. Shojo Tsubaki. But that would probably encourage someone to see it, which no human should do.
It's Such a Beautiful Day and World of Tomorrow made me weep about my own fleeting existence but also helped me to appreciate living

I don’t know if they’re on the list, but 12 Years A Slave (which I watched twice, thanks to having the same beautiful and kind teacher in 10th grade who taught African American Studies and Civil History) is DEFINITELY a cruel but ultimately great watching experience. Marshall (2017, with Chadwick Boseman) is good too.
Okay, hyperfixation moment done? Who knows! I might babble on a bit more. Spoiler: I will…
Definitely adding some of these on my to watch list. Things haven’t really been the best, but they haven’t been the worst either, so I need a really good cry.
I can’t stay for long, since I gotta go to work soon (first day, too! Really excited yet really nervous, hehe). I’ll definitely continue on rambling (maybe by giving out little facts for each movie I have seen/know about) after I’m out (I believe my hours are like… 3pm-9pm). It’s currently 7am here, and even though that’s a little early to get ready, I still think I should… in a hour or two. @-@
Haha no need to apologize! A lot of the movies you mention watching in school I did too haha and yeah they definitely still hit just as hard. Have a good first day and I'm glad your enjoying the content/ finding recommendations
LILYA 4 EVER made me sob
one movie that should be on here is love Kennedy. it's a true story about a girl who gets juvenile batten disease. one of the saddest movies I've ever seen. book is even sadder. along with the shack. the shack is about a dad coming to terms with his daughter dying and them never finding the body. I've only been able to watch it once. also crazy to me that love Simon isn't here. other then that I love this vid and how u explain things
I remember the movie "Snow Angels" being pretty bleak
jesus, yea just looked it up and it looks pretty depressing
bru how is american beauty on this 😭fye vid tho
The Color Purple made me physically sick
i watched no child of mine on youtube back in the day
It’s not a “traditionally” sad movie, and the first time I saw it I went in knowing the ending (having seen it live as a 7 year old :/), but Senna never fails to reduce me to floods of tears.
I'd say its traditionally sad... it always is when someone so young dies in a tragic accident. Thats insane you where there though, hope you're all good
@@antonioalexander1 I wasn’t there, it was on TV. But I was so excited to be able to watch the race live, it was a Bank Holiday weekend so I didn’t have my swimming lesson that day. I am hoping to get to Imola for the 30th anniversary.
I think I phrased it badly, it’s not a traditional “tearjerker”.
@@katashworth41 yeah I get you. Good recommendation I havent seen it, will check it out
I would've added The Bridges of Madison County but I see why it wasn't because there were some other Clint Eastwood movies on there.
I’m way late to recommending movies for this list, but United 93 is very sad and tragic
You should add suicide room it is a very sad movie that makes you depressed for a long time
You just zoomed through like 500 movies & their imdb summaries. That's not an interesting iceberg video. U didn't give any personal opinions. It seemed like u probly hadn't seen about 90% of the movies.
That’s the point. To look at them objectively, to point a finger at it and jet audience do as they please with the information. You’re completely missing what the point of these iceberg videos are, they aren’t opinion pieces, they are objective rundowns to let the viewers continue the research as they desire.
eternal sunshine for the spotless mind gotta be here somewhere
Thirteen, Lilya 4-ever, and Christiane F, Speak, Mysterious Skin, mid90s should def be on there
The Inevitable Defeat of Mister & Pete should’ve been on here
I wasn't expecting the movie platoon to be on here its not really sad also fox and the hound is very sad
godzilla vs destroyah was very sad
I just watched Keep The Lights On from tier 6 and i didn't find that sad tbh. Maybe the OP of this iceberg relates to the story that's why he put it so low in the iceberg and if my guess turns out to be true then I hope the OP is doing well. It was a good movie though. Good acting. good story. Good choice of soundtrack. Definitely worth watching it again. Way better than CMBYN imo. Thank you.
Edit : I watched it again, it's quite depressing tbh. It left me feeling empty.
Edit 2: watched another movie called The Revival 2017 starring Zachary Booth from Keep The Lights On, it is fucked up to say the least. But it served a good job showing hypocrisy at its finest. It tells an important story. It's realistic. A good movie it is.
no photo at grave of the fire flies?
I'd like to recommend you The Reader as well
Dang I respect this ice berg especially midsommer even though I didn't really feel sad watching it once you mentioned it I remembered how emotionally numb that movie made me feel and I realised that it was just a different level of sadness also I was expecting you to include a silent voice have you watched it?
No i havent but ill check it out
@@antonioalexander1 and now that I think about it clouds is pretty good too
Anyone have the timestamps for the layers?
the thing more sadder then this iceberg is playing ow
Xiu xiu the sent down girl is my personal favorite sad movie
City Of God is not a sad movie, it's just a portrait of reality. Especially here on Brazil.
I don't know if a lot of people know this movie i never hear anyone talk about it but I kill giants broke me I went into it thinking it was gonna be a fun fantasy movie no it was a psychological drama that broke me and my mom we where sobbing by the end of it I'm not spoiling it go watch it it's actually really good
Just a thing: Gone with the wind follows Scarlett O'hara and Rhett Buttler, Ashley Wilkes is a secondary character. An important one but still not Rhett Buttler.
Gamer time
Lylia 4 Ever is the saddest movie I’ve seen
Hey, just wanted to ask, are you ok with iceberg suggestions?
Yes I am
@@antonioalexander1 hello, I can’t send you the link. Do you have a different source I can send it to?
@@spoodergun527 yeah you can email me at alexanderantoniomedina6@gmail.com
@@antonioalexander1 Let me know if it came through?
@@spoodergun527 yeah got it, thank you!
16:23 I see what you did there
A Monster Calls is the BEST COMEDY ever made 🤣. Watched it, bad acting, kid breaks stuff & horrifies his Grandma & Mom tells hims that if you want to break stuff then go ahead & break whatever you want 🤣.
The family in Grand Torino is Hmong, not Korean, also the kids not a gang banger
(SPOILER)
His cousin's a gang banger, and he kills the old man at the end of the movie in a shootout.
As sad these are, nothing compares in my opinion to the Earthlings and Dominion documentaries (I might get trolled for this comment but I don’t care)
Unpopular opinion. I don't care for Coco
I imagine its probably better dubbed in Spanish. But I thought it was blah.
No "Painted Bird"?
There's two movies I've never seen anyone talk about then
Then came you . 2018 asa butterfield
The bachelors . 2017 j k simmons
aftersun and sixth sense should also be here
