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…)
Stand by me.
Requiem for a Dream
What about Dead Poets Society? I haven’t seen it in decades but it made me cry a lot.
Your list is getting quite long but here’s another less week known movie:
Nine Days (by Edson Oda)
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
Came here to say the same thing.
Also, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind was better than it had a right to be.
Its not really a movie with a lot of depth but “Hachi: A Dog’s Tale” wrecked me.
Women Talking
The Fountain Grave of the Fireflies
Came here to suggests these two choices!
AI (2001)
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.
I can’t believe nobody has said Coco. I dare anyone to get through the end without at least a tear or two.
Oh I’m so glad someone said Coco! Oh gosh, the final scenes and the final song always gets me
Who Will love My Children? 1983
Mask 1985
I defy anyone to get to the end of either movie without being a total mess.
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.
Forrest Gump.
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).
