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.

    Who Will love My Children? 1983

    Mask 1985

    I defy anyone to get to the end of either movie without being a total mess.

    When the Wind Blows

    In this hand-drawn animated tale, elderly married couple Hilda (Peggy Ashcroft) and Jim Bloggs (John Mills) have their quiet, simple lives in the English countryside interrupted when they learn of an impending nuclear attack. Not completely understanding the gravity of their situation, Hilda and Jim react archaically and insufficiently after the attack – and the film takes a dark turn as the radiation begins taking its toll on the unsuspecting couple.

    I can’t believe nobody has said Coco. I dare anyone to get through the end without at least a tear or two.

    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).

    Last movie that made me cry was The Whale. I saw it in a theatre and rarely I had to refrain myself from crying in public this bad. Once I got home though I just bawled my eyes out.

    haven’t watched a lot of shows that aren’t anime so here are my recs:

    1. Your name (movie, its really really good)
    2. A silent voice (movie, same as your name)
    3. Your lie in april (tv series, apparently really good at making you cry but haven’t watched it)
    4. Anohana: The flower we saw that day (tv series, same as your lie in april)

    your name and a silent voice have really good animation btw

    i almost cried during weathering with you which is a movie in the same universe as your name but it isn’t as emotional as your name ig

    Probably going to get some hate for who’s in it (Jared Letto) and some of the content (step sibling incest), but the ending of Mr. Nobody wrecked me.

    Oh man, how has ‘The Fall’ not been mentioned?!

    It’s one of the most visually stunning movies I’ve ever seen, and the story will tear your heart out.
