    I want to watch a movie that will make me cry.

    (Because I need those endorphins to help me with depression. I feel better after a good session of crying. Sorry if this is weird...)

    What about Dead Poets Society? I haven't seen it in decades but it made me cry a lot.

          This is my recommendation too. I just watched again recently, and my dad is on his way out and I just bawled. Such a great movie.

            I can't believe nobody has said Coco. I dare anyone to get through the end without at least a tear or two.

                Looks like you've got a long list already, but the last movie that made me lump in my throat cry was Awakenings with Robin Williams and Robert deNiro

                Came here to say the same thing.

                Also, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind was better than it had a right to be.

                    When the Wind Blows

                    In this hand-drawn animated tale, elderly married couple Hilda (Peggy Ashcroft) and Jim Bloggs (John Mills) have their quiet, simple lives in the English countryside interrupted when they learn of an impending nuclear attack. Not completely understanding the gravity of their situation, Hilda and Jim react archaically and insufficiently after the attack -- and the film takes a dark turn as the radiation begins taking its toll on the unsuspecting couple.

                    I didn't make it through that movie, though it's very well done.

                    It wasn't so much a tear jerker for me. It just left me feeling sick to my stomach.

                      I'm pretty sure that was kind of the point. I didn't think it was sad so much as an extremely troubling look at the human experience.

                      It's an incredibly uncomfortable movie to watch. If you were sick in the beginning you would really not have been well at the end.

                        I saw “What Dreams May Come” in high school and wept the entire way from the theater to the car.

                        Even met some friends on the way and had to explain I was crying because it was so beautiful.

                        What Dreams May Come is incredible in so many ways. It's incredibly beautiful, incredibly sad, and just hits everything so perfectly. It just hits on so many emotional points and uses in such artistry to convey it. I love it so much.

                          Life is Beautiful

                          Manchester by the Sea

                          The Green Mile

                          My recommendations are more sad than uplifting, but still beautiful and emotional.

                          Yeah, I still can't hear "Cheek to Cheek" without getting residually wrecked.

                              I did not expect the amount of crying from a movie starring Robin Williams
