    Can confirm Your Lie In April made me cry like a baby. But I would say anime wise Violet Evergarden was even more cathartic. I ugly cried more than once watching it.

        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...)

        First movie that popped into my head was What Dreams May Come. Robin Williams goes through heaven and hell to try and save his wife's soul. Great flick with some amazing visuals (especially for the time).

          For stoic men (and maybe women, who knows?) Captain Phillips... but not till the end. It sneaks up on you.

            This might be an outlier as far as how other people might watch or react to this movie but I rewatched Millennium Actress recently and I could not stop crying the whole movie.

            It’s gives me feelings of deep desperation, chasing, longing, almost persevering.

            Lots of Ghibli mentioned, Kiki’s Delivery Service is a favorite of mine. 🙂 Not sure how much it fits ‘grandiose’ and ‘profound’, but I’m definitely a sob-fest by the end.

              What's going to hit will be a bit dependent on where your soft spots are.

              Kids: Grave of the Fireflies or Bridge to Teribithea or My Girl or The Cure

              Romantic love: The Fountain

              Existential trauma: Psycho-Pass (series) or A.I.

              Dogs: Marley & Me or Hachi

              Loss: Up

              Also:

              River

                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.

                Upvoting for Eternal Sunshine, such I think fits OP's request better than EEAAO.

                    If you want sometime currently in the theater, you might try The Life of Chuck. Likely to make you cry, but uplifting. Great cast.

                      Two movies that usually appear on lists like this, but I don't see them: The Fountain, and The Fall.

                      The Fall was fantastic. Too bad it's not available anywhere, even to buy.

                        Underrated, but terrific epic.

                            I can't believe nobody has said Coco. I dare anyone to get through the end without at least a tear or two.

                              I cry my eyes out every damned time. Don't know of anything in the world that will do that to me, no matter how many times I watch it.

                                If you haven't read the book, I highly recommend it. It may be my favorite novel.

                                      Oh man, how has 'The Fall' not been mentioned?!

                                      It's one of the most visually stunning movies I've ever seen, and the story will tear your heart out.

                                          Probably going to get some hate for who's in it (Jared Letto) and some of the content (step sibling incest), but the ending of Mr. Nobody wrecked me.
