    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 knew a guy who said "I've had kidney stones, and I've been shot, and the kidney stones hurt worse."

          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...)

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

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

            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.

                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.

                    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.

                            When the Wind Blows

                            In this hand-drawn animated tale, elderly married couple Hilda (Peggy Ashcroft) and Jim Bloggs (John Mills) have their quiet, simple lives in the English countryside interrupted when they learn of an impending nuclear attack. Not completely understanding the gravity of their situation, Hilda and Jim react archaically and insufficiently after the attack -- and the film takes a dark turn as the radiation begins taking its toll on the unsuspecting couple.

                              haven't watched a lot of shows that aren't anime so here are my recs:

                              1. Your name (movie, its really really good)
                              2. A silent voice (movie, same as your name)
                              3. Your lie in april (tv series, apparently really good at making you cry but haven't watched it)
                              4. Anohana: The flower we saw that day (tv series, same as your lie in april)

                              your name and a silent voice have really good animation btw

                              i almost cried during weathering with you which is a movie in the same universe as your name but it isn't as emotional as your name ig

                                  Many good movies have been mentioned already (especially Eternal Sunshine of the spotless mind, Big Fish, Manchester by the sea and The Fountain).

                                  I would like to add:

                                  • Finding Neverland
                                  • Captain Fantastic

                                  And if you want to absolutely destroy yourself: Prayers for Bobby.

                                    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 😭

                                    You don't need to watch the first two episodes to enjoy episode 3. I played it for a friend of mine recently. I just skipped the beginning with the main characters. She loved it.

                                        Who Will love My Children? 1983

                                        Mask 1985

                                        I defy anyone to get to the end of either movie without being a total mess.

                                          I saw something recently about a 4k restoration, but possibly not all regions.
