Many of us will undoubtedly spend the Christmas period nestled amongst our loved ones watching Christmas favorites - including Die Hard, Love Actually, The Holiday, Jingle All The Way, and many others.
And, with Emily in Paris, You, and Lupin all slated to grace our screens over the period, it's safe to say we're all inundated with even more choices as we stuff our bellies with festive foods.
Though, not all the new releases on Netflix are as cheery, upbeat, or exciting. In fact, one particular movie - Hachi: A Dog's Tale - is set to have Netflix users devastated, with some viewers calling for the streaming service to issue a warning at the start of the movie.
The tragic story stars Richard Gere as a college professor who takes in an abandoned dog named Hachi. The pair inevitably form a close and unbreakable bond, which - without giving too much away - leaves the dog pining for his late master until his own dying day.
The film is a remake of Kaneto Shindo's 1987 Japanese film Hachikō Monogatari and also stars Joan Allen and Jason Alexander, and is based on a true story of a Japanese Akita dog of the same name, who found fame in the 1920s for his remarkable loyalty to his owner, waiting for him to return for over nine years after his death.
Many viewers have taken to social media to express their feelings about the flick - which came out in 2009 but has only recently made its way to Netflix - with many of them detailing how much it made them cry.
"Just watched this movie last night, and I cried like a baby. I didn't even know it was based on a true story until I saw the text at the end where they explain everything and show a picture of the real Hachi. Such a beautiful story! There's a reason dogs are known as man's best friend :')," one person wrote.
"I still haven't met someone who didn't cry while watching this movie. if I do, I will keep away from them because that means they have no soul. but seriously, the movie is incredibly touching," another user added.
A third person chimed in, commenting: "I'm a 43 year old man and Hachi: A Dog's Tale turned me into a blubbering baby. About 2 thirds of the way in, the tears started flowing and they didn't stop even as the credits were rolling."
"I watched this movie when it was new, we all cried like babies! Today I watched the Japanese version and I cried like a baby again! Both versions are great, but they both breaks my heart 
For anyone brave enough to watch the flick, it's available now on Netflix - but make sure you prepare the tissues in advance!
