Sad films are a necessary part of our lives as girls. You just cannot function without them, whether it’s your period again, you just got broken up with, your day is going shit or you just feel like watching a sad film. Hence why, we thought it’s a very good idea to make a list of ten sad films you can watch, either on your own or with your mate(s) and sob whenever needed… we understand. So, let’s dive into the list and see how depressing are the films we’ve selected. First one is:

1. Midnight Sun

This film is about a girl (Bella Thorne) who has the disease xeroderma pigmentosum, which prevents her from being able to be out during the day.

One thing is certain though, it gets upsetting and you’ll cry.

2. Keith

Keith is an American independent film from 2008 but despite the fact that it’s a little bit old, it’s still a classic.
