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.
Oh I’m so glad someone said Coco! Oh gosh, the final scenes and the final song always gets me
What about Dead Poets Society? I haven’t seen it in decades but it made me cry a lot.
The Fountain Grave of the Fireflies
Came here to suggests these two choices!
Big Fish
This is my recommendation too. I just watched again recently, and my dad is on his way out and I just bawled. Such a great movie.
Dances With Wolves Last of the Mohicans
Tree of Life
Arrival
And Contact!
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
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.
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.
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.
Stand by me.
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.
Tom Hanks is amazing in it.
Its not really a movie with a lot of depth but “Hachi: A Dog’s Tale” wrecked 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.
