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 saw “What Dreams May Come” in high school and wept the entire way from the theater to the car.

    Even met some friends on the way and had to explain I was crying because it was so beautiful.

      What Dreams May Come is incredible in so many ways. It’s incredibly beautiful, incredibly sad, and just hits everything so perfectly. It just hits on so many emotional points and uses in such artistry to convey it. I love it so much.

    Everything Everywhere All At Once

    This has me all the way from to treats of laughter to tears of joy and really made me feel for the main character. It seems too whimsical to take seriously at first, but if you let it wash over you it rewards you. it can be an incredibly powerful movie and I loved the message.

    Also, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. It’s a really sad breakup movie. Lots of emotion. Some of Jim Carry’s best acting.

      In the original script, they would continue to meet up, fall in love, spend time together and then one or the other of them would erase the other person after which the other person would follow and then they would meet and fall in love again and this repeated until they were old and gray

      EEAAO is truly a masterpiece and I do not say that shit lightly. For all it’s multiverse goofiness there really is a solid layer depicting the struggle of women, mother, and girls becoming women. There’s also cultural bits obviously as well, and marriage. My god the dad breaks my heart every time. Just good from beginning to end.

    One Liter of Tears fits the bill.

    It portrays the life of a real girl named Aya Kitou who develops a neuromuscular disease as a teen. It’s an old film but great for making you think about the value and beauty of life.

    There is a JDrama with the same name. The show takes some artistic liberties with the real story but since it has a longer run time it goes more in depth about the family dynamics and explores other plot lines.

    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.

        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 :o

          I could definitely agree with that, but if the other person is not inclined to watch three episodes of the show, they can still enjoy the third one on its own.

    I sob like a baby when I watch Practical Magic (Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman.) Same with Disney’s Moana. Neither movie is really advertised as bring particularly deep or philosophical, but both of them have more profundity than appears on the surface. PM is about love, death, and family. Moana is about determination, joy, and redemption. Big emotions.

    Interstellar Suzume A Silent Voice - guaranteed to fuck you up Grave of the Fireflies

    Idk, all these movies make me cry but for different reasons. The last two will sincerely fuck you up if you are any sort of empath.

    I get you man, sometimes I need a good cry as well. I’m telling you though…A Silent Voice is a doozy.
