As you watch, you wish the other characters understood each other and could see what was happening in each other's lives.

Dear Zachary is one of the most heartbreaking movies of all time, but as you watch the film, you will be so frustrated with how the events played out that you wish you could turn back the clock and fix it all. The documentary is made by the best friend of Zachary's father, who was murdered. Prepare to cry your eyes out though.

20. Eyes Wide Shut (1999)
