What are some very beautiful and emotional movies? (Preferrably those about very grandiose or profound themes)
-
Everything Everywhere All At Once
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.
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.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]One Liter of Tears fits the bill.
It portrays the life of a real girl named Aya Kitou who develops a neuromuscular disease as a teen. It's an old film but great for making you think about the value and beauty of life.
There is a JDrama with the same name. The show takes some artistic liberties with the real story but since it has a longer run time it goes more in depth about the family dynamics and explores other plot lines.

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:

I don't remember much about Black Cat White Cat but I remember enjoying it.

Walk in the Clouds
What Dreams May Come
The ending of Sixth Sense
Big Fish

So underrated, always loved that movie. Lots of dark but honest.
I haven't been able to re-watch it since... you know.

"The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" (2013 version) is beautiful and thoughtful. Completely unlike any other Ben Stiller movie that I know of.
"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
The Fountain hits me hard. Especially with that beautiful Clint Mansell soundtrack.

Never cried in a movie. Then I watched "Marley" (my friend Marley in German)
-
- Big Fish
- Up!
- Toy Story 3
- Onward
- Last of the Mohicans
- When Marnie was There (Ghibli)
- About Time
If you like Big Fish you should watch Five People You Meet in Heaven (not a religious movie)

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.
