    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...)

    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.

      No matter how many times I watch Flow, it never fails to make me cry by the end.

        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.

                      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.

                        Mask 1985

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

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

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

                            The story stands on its own no doubt. But I think there's a greater greater impact if the viewer has a bit of background on the setting and other characters established by the first two episodes 😮

                                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.

                                Violet Evergarden is an incredible show about grief. But wow, is the movie sketchy as all hell.

                                  I was going to say this one, I was crying all throughout the screening 'cause the themes I picked up fom the beginning of the movie moved me deeply and resonated on a personal level. It's also visually astonishing, that alone would have made me cry. A fantastic experience.

                                        Looks like you've got a long list already, but the last movie that made me lump in my throat cry was Awakenings with Robin Williams and Robert deNiro

                                          Its not really a movie with a lot of depth but "Hachi: A Dog's Tale" wrecked me.
