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…)
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).
For stoic men (and maybe women, who knows?) Captain Phillips… but not till the end. It sneaks up on you.
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:
- Your name (movie, its really really good)
- A silent voice (movie, same as your name)
- Your lie in april (tv series, apparently really good at making you cry but haven’t watched it)
- 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
Can confirm Your Lie In April made me cry like a baby. But I would say anime wise Violet Evergarden was even more cathartic. I ugly cried more than once watching it.
Dear Ann.
Sorry about that
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.
Not a movie but 18 episodes, Arcane is full of massive, massive feels.
Hits multiple times in different ways. If you want the full gamut of emotional.

The Wild Robot is well worth a watch. It looks like a kids movie, but I think the themes work just as well if not better for adults.
There are some moments in that which are pretty brutal and I was like, “Oh wow… Not sure if my kid should be watching this yet…” but it was an incredible film.
Two movies that usually appear on lists like this, but I don’t see them: The Fountain, and The Fall.
Not a movie but a tv show: “one day” on Netflix, it may seem shallow in the beginning, but then it will tear you apart.
Mr Nobody
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
You really want to destroy that poor guy, do you?
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.
Not a movie but rather a season, Your Lie in April. It’s around a 7 hour series so sorta super deluxe extended edition movie adjacent if you’re up for that. Fireflies and Silent Voice have already been mentioned, this is the honorary third place in my opinion.
Grave of fireflies - film that you watch only once as it’s too sad to watch the second time.
