Grave of the Fireflies. I figured out what was in the tin and immediately turned it off, I was not willing to put myself through that and I'm still not. It makes me well up just thinking about it, and I haven't even watched it. Brutal.

The ending to Station 11 (the miniseries) was so weepingly, heartwrenchingly beautiful. I could not stop thinking about it for weeks.
An really interesting show, would highly recommend. Actually thought it was much better than the book.
I was really surprised by the book (I read it after watching the series). It is rare that I feel a TV adaptation of a story is more engaging than the the book, but that was certainly my takeaway in this instance.

I am very late to this, but the movie The Road written by Cormac McCarthy. I had watched this movie several times and what changed you ask? I have a little boy now. Can’t watch it. Just can’t
No idea why, but I remember as a kid there was an episode of That's So Raven that I happened to be watching since nothing else was on, and somehow she ended up in the place of the bride, in her wedding dress, in her wedding, about to walk down the aisle. All I remember is it had been completely preventable, and I just couldn't deal with the awkwardness of the situation. Really don't know why that's the one that got me when so many others in this thread I had no issues with lmao but that's what it is

The Australian series Love My Way. Got to the end of series 1 and was so shattered I couldn't keep watching.
I can still taste that toothpaste
Not in the same league as most of the other responses but I cannot watch About a Boy. Yes the Hugh Grant film written by Richard Curtis. I’m not a big crier but that film is like a giant TEARS ON! Button for me.
I tried to watch it again last year as it’s one of my Wife’s faves and it was on already. I was in floods even before I’d sat down.
Something to do with the boy, his situation and the fact his only friends are adults kind of resonates with my childhood.
