    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...)

      The dad is just such a good person.

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

        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

          Its not really a movie with a lot of depth but "Hachi: A Dog's Tale" wrecked me.

              Your list is getting quite long but here's another less week known movie:

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

                Yeah this will wreck you, and knowing that the movie is a autobiographical story of its creators own experience during the war and what happened to his sister just makes it worse

                  The Wild Robot is well worth a watch. It looks like a kids movie, but I think the themes work just as well if not better for adults.

                    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.

                            Oh I'm so glad someone said Coco! Oh gosh, the final scenes and the final song always gets me

                                    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.
