    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...)

    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.

          Who Will love My Children? 1983

          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.

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

                    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.

                        The dad is just such a good person.

                        The googly eyes, the silliness, he just wanted to make his family smile.

                          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.

                                Your list is getting quite long but here's another less week known movie:

                                  Grave of fireflies - film that you watch only once as it's too sad to watch the second time.

                                  Yeah this will wreck you, and knowing that the movie is a autobiographical story of its creators own experience during the war and what happened to his sister just makes it worse

                                    The Wild Robot is well worth a watch. It looks like a kids movie, but I think the themes work just as well if not better for adults.

                                      What about Dead Poets Society? I haven't seen it in decades but it made me cry a lot.
