    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...)

    Troop Zero pulled my heart strings. About a little girl scout obsessed with space that is coping with the death of her mother. It's done in a very uplifting manner, and you're more likely to cry from the beauty of how the character handles it.

      A Silent Voice. I watched it while I was going through a rough time, and the visual metaphor used to portray the main character's isolation hit me so hard.

        (not trying to sound like a hipster but) I read the manga a fair while before the movie came out and the relationship with the girl's mom is explored more deeply. God. It hits so hard.

            Grave of fireflies - film that you watch only once as it's too sad to watch the second time.

                  Let OP decide. Maybe they put the real life that feels tragic in perspective, and it could help with depression.

                    Apollo 11 was quite nicely made.

                    It's basically a documentary made using remastered original footage along with beautiful soundscape.

                        Not a movie but rather a season, Your Lie in April. It's around a 7 hour series so sorta super deluxe extended edition movie adjacent if you're up for that. Fireflies and Silent Voice have already been mentioned, this is the honorary third place in my opinion.

                            EEAAO is truly a masterpiece and I do not say that shit lightly. For all it's multiverse goofiness there really is a solid layer depicting the struggle of women, mother, and girls becoming women. There's also cultural bits obviously as well, and marriage. My god the dad breaks my heart every time. Just good from beginning to end.

                            The dad is just such a good person.

                            The googly eyes, the silliness, he just wanted to make his family smile.

                                    I cried with The Mitchells Vs. The Machines.

                                    Think I teared up at another film recently, but can't recall what it was. Sorry. That's one I watched I know got me weeping, though. I'll cry over anything intergenerational these days.

                                        Two movies that usually appear on lists like this, but I don't see them: The Fountain, and The Fall.
