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...)

Everything Everywhere All At Once

This has me all the way from to tears of sadness 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.

Upcoming for Eternal Sunshine, such I think fits OP's request better than EEAAO.

[–] Bosht@lemmy.world 17 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

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.

The dad is just such a good person.

The googly eyes, the silliness, he just wanted to make his family smile.

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
