What are some very beautiful and emotional movies? (Preferrably those about very grandiose or profound themes)

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

"The Fountain" (2006) might qualify too, though it's a lot heavier.
"Amélie" (2001)
"Hector and the Search for Happiness" (2014) is decent too, though I'm a Simon Pegg fan so it gets extra points for that

This has me all the way from to tears of sadness to tears of joy and really made me feel for the main character. It seems too whimsical to take seriously at first, but if you let it wash over you it rewards you. it can be an incredibly powerful movie and I loved the message.
Also, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. It’s a really sad breakup movie. Lots of emotion. Some of Jim Carry’s best acting.

Manchester by the Sea
The Green Mile
My recommendations are more sad than uplifting, but still beautiful and emotional.

Mistakenly watched life is beautiful at a drunken party in high school. Still remember everything.
Great movie that I will never watch again.

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.

Not so much a movie but you should watch The Last of Us up to the first 3 episodes. I got through Episode 3 and it had me in tears the whole day

wrote on last edited by [email protected]Tout le bleu du ciel - 2025 Netflix french movie. The whole roadtrip thing made me watch it and I enjoyed it. Might be what you're looking for as well.
And speaking of road trips, Into the Wild. Amazing movie, amazing soundtrack by Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder.
Both movies quite sad and beautiful.

So underrated, always loved that movie. Lots of dark but honest.

I sob like a baby when I watch Practical Magic (Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman.) Same with Disney's Moana. Neither movie is really advertised as bring particularly deep or philosophical, but both of them have more profundity than appears on the surface. PM is about love, death, and family. Moana is about determination, joy, and redemption. Big emotions.

I have not seen this film in decades, but I remember it being quite lovely, it is a Serbian film called "Black Cat, White Cat":

This next film will not make you cry, but it is an amazingly brilliant romantic adventure comedy, Those Magnificent Men In Their Flying Machines:

Interstellar
Suzume
A Silent Voice - guaranteed to fuck you up
Grave of the FirefliesIdk, all these movies make me cry but for different reasons. The last two will sincerely fuck you up if you are any sort of empath.
I get you man, sometimes I need a good cry as well. I'm telling you though...A Silent Voice is a doozy.

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.

Columbus and After Yang by Kogonada. These are such beautiful, contemplative films.
