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…)
Life is Beautiful
Manchester by the Sea
The Green Mile
My recommendations are more sad than uplifting, but still beautiful and emotional.
Pretty sure this is not the crying OP is looking for
Let OP decide. Maybe they put the real life that feels tragic in perspective, and it could help with depression.
Yeah, I still can’t hear “Cheek to Cheek” without getting residually wrecked.
Mistakenly watched life is beautiful at a drunken party in high school. Still remember everything.
Great movie that I will never watch again.
“The Secret Life of Walter Mitty” (2013 version) is beautiful and thoughtful. Completely unlike any other Ben Stiller movie that I know of.
“The Fountain” (2006) might qualify too, though it’s a lot heavier.
“Amélie” (2001)
“Hector and the Search for Happiness” (2014) is decent too, though I’m a Simon Pegg fan so it gets extra points for that
The Fountain hits me hard. Especially with that beautiful Clint Mansell soundtrack.
- Big Fish
- Up!
- Toy Story 3
- Onward
- Last of the Mohicans
- When Marnie was There (Ghibli)
- About Time
Second About Time. One of my favorite movies.
If you like Big Fish you should watch Five People You Meet in Heaven (not a religious movie)
Atonement
And agree on Big Fish, and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
A Monster Calls destroyed me. It doesn’t take much to make me tear up, but I was sobbing for the last 15-20 minutes of the movie.
Mr Nobody
Its not really a movie with a lot of depth but “Hachi: A Dog’s Tale” wrecked me.
If you have time for a game try Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.
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.
Saving Mr. Banks.
+1 for Rachel Griffiths
Women Talking
Far and Away
Underrated, but terrific epic.
AI (2001)
“The Green Mile” made me cry
Kidney stones are no joke
I knew a guy who said “I’ve had kidney stones, and I’ve been shot, and the kidney stones hurt worse.”
I cried with The Mitchells Vs. The Machines.
Think I teared up at another film recently, but can’t recall what it was. Sorry. That’s one I watched I know got me weeping, though. I’ll cry over anything intergenerational these days.
