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

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...)
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.

Atonement
And agree on Big Fish, and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

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.

If you have time for a game try Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.

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.

Saving Mr. Banks.
-
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.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
You really want to destroy that poor guy, do you?
