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…)
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
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
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.
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.
Two movies that usually appear on lists like this, but I don’t see them: The Fountain, and The Fall.
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
You really want to destroy that poor guy, do you?

Far and Away
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.
Saving Mr. Banks.
A Silent Voice. I watched it while I was going through a rough time, and the visual metaphor used to portray the main character’s isolation hit me so hard.
(not trying to sound like a hipster but) I read the manga a fair while before the movie came out and the relationship with the girl’s mom is explored more deeply. God. It hits so hard.
“The Green Mile” made me cry
