Yea, I know, what a spoiler- Knowing the end! Even though, they are great movies each one in its genre and manner. It's my honest recommendation! A collection of films where one or more main characters die, and yet the emotional impact goes far beyond tragedy. These stories help us process grief, attachment, fear of loss, and the fragile beauty of relationships. In positive psychology, narratives like these act as emotional mirrors: they let us face heavy feelings in a safe, symbolic way. Watching characters navigate love, endings, and meaning can be strangely grounding when life feels uncertain. This list gathers movies that hold space for sadness, clarity, and emotional release—curated by Movie Therapy.
