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

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

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.

Pretty sure this is not the crying OP is looking for
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.
