    Need a good cry movie recommendation

    I'm really needing to watch a good cry movie to get this feeling of a need to cry out of my system. A little background of me: I'm bipolar manic depressive 2. I get into moods where I feel like I need to cry because I'm on the verge of crying over every little thing but simply can't cry unless it gets pushed over the edge. Last year I was watching Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist and during the season finale had me bawling in a good way because it was wonderfully done (anyone who watched it can understand what I'm talking about). I was watching the first episode of season 2 and it started giving me the need to cry vibe but never got me to that point. Now I want to watch something to get this out of my system so I'm turning to you guys for recommendations on some good cry movies.

    Neverending story. If the swamp scene doesn't get you, nothing will.

    Still Alice and Miss You Already are my two go too cry movies. Miss You Already especially. A lot of stuff with Toni Collette are good tear jerkers, In Her Shoes is another pretty good one that might get you. I loved Muriels Wedding, that one got me too.

    Also I would add The Perks of Being a Wallflower, the end gets me every time.

    Surprisingly also, the Great British Bake Off.

    Oh and another one Instructions Not Included.

    It all depends on what you consider entertaining but if i'm in the mood for that, I think of movies like Titanic, Star Wars; Rogue One, Dallas buyers club, Contact, Stand by me, Awakenings, The Way Back, Schindlers List, The Pianist, Dances with Wolves, the Shawshank Redemption, 1408 (Stephen King movie but after you watch it, you will see what I mean), Amadeus, Dragonfly, Where the red fern grows, and even the end of the first Lord of the Rings movie gets me emotional with the music and ending dialogue.

    Hachi: A Dog's Tale.

    If that movie doesn't make you cry, you're not human.

    Amadeus is one of my favorite films but I think it is triumphant & uplifting. :P

    That ending though is the tragedy of envy killing a genius (even though that is not what really happened), and F. Murray Abraham should have won an Oscar for the role. Oh...I just checked and he did

    I'm not an easy cry but ya that one got me, also surprisingly Bridge to Terebithia if you like a more "kid" movie.

    OMG I forgot about that movie, the look and walking of the dog at the end made me more sad than I thought I could be about a dog.

    If you can find this documentary from Chile, "Los maníacos del martillo." It'll make you cry for sure, it's about the Ukrainian serial killers, The Dnepropetrovsk maniacs.

    Life is beautiful...

    don't get fooled by the name. Amazing movie... terribly sad

    And basically every movie with a gay main character... for some reason they are not allowed to have a happy ending in movies.

    Also: Zoeys extraordinary playlist was... suprisingly heartwrenching. Did NOT expect that at all...
