Grave of the Fireflies, a Ghibli film. Stopped it a couple times. Ended up finishing it eventually, wish I never had.

This exists and is one of my favorite / most horrible shelf decorations

I've heard so much about it and never watched it. I love the Ghiblis though

It's not Miyazaki but it's a masterpiece nonetheless.

I’ve never watched the movie. The synopsis alone crushed me. I couldn’t handle actually seeing it.

I watched it 20 years ago and still can't bring myself to watch it again.

Came here to mention this, you beat me to it.

Hands down the saddest movie I've ever seen

Spoilers for anyone who hasn't seen it.

I watched it with my girlfriend and the part about the bones in the tin candy container at the start of the movie flew over her head. She was hopeful that the girl might survive, I realized she missed the bones because she got a smidge hopeful when they went to see the doctor.
