Need a good cry movie recommendation

[Memnok]

I don't get choked up all that much, but the end of Armageddon usually gets me.

[Stardrift]

Forrest Gump

Came here just to say this. God what a beautiful movie

[Illusions]

I haven't seen The Book Thief mentioned yet out of current suggestions. I quite liked the film (and book) and got me very emotional.

Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind, or Up. Every single time.

"A Walk To Remember" and "Still Alice" get my waterworks going strong ...like really strong!

"A Walk To remember" is about two teens who are as different as you can imagine, one is the rebellious boy and the other is a shy and secretive girl. They are cast in the lead roles of their school theatre and they become friends, she warns him not to fall in love with her because ...well, watch the movie.

"Still Alice" is a personal fear of mine, we follow a woman (Alice) and her family as she struggles with early Alzheimers disease. It might be personally connected for me because my grandfather (rest his soul) had early onset Alzheimers disease, it’s honestly the scariest disease/illness I can think off ...I’d rather have cancer in my dick than Alzheimers disease. Witnessing over 20 years of my grandfather declining... if I get it (it apparently goes in genes) then I’m eating a bullet, I’m not going to put myself and my family through that!

Forrest Gump

Forrest Gump is my all time favorite movie, it’s definitely got it’s sad moments but to me they’re all lessons of life abd that life has ups and downs. Yes it’s sad when mama goes, and when Bubba goes, and when Jenny goes. But what those mean to me as a viewer is that Forrest is still able to push on and believing in himself, which is the e tire movie plot IMO: if you stay honest and work hard then you can achieve anything - The American Dream.

Haachi. That movie made this grown man cry his eyes out.

Saddest part is when Forrest finds out he is a daddy, and he's terrified that his son might be a bit slow like he is. In the 35-40 something years of his life we get to witness, its the only time he outwardly acknowledges that he knows he's different and its made his life harder, and the only reason he acknowledges it is because its about someone else and not himself. That scene destroys me everytime.

Well, others already mentioned Grave of the Fireflies and Hachiko, so i'll add:
Disney's The Fox and the Hound
The Pursuit of Happiness
Dead Poets Society
Mr. Holland's Opus

and as a bonus an anime-series: Shigatsu Wa Kimi No Uso

[Theoris]

Damnit after looking at the wikipedia description of it, I decided on this but none of the major streaming services have it. I've got Hulu, HBO, Netflix, Prime, and Disney and none of them have it lol I should add that I even searched for it on Roku TV's search thing that searches all of the available apps on their service and its not on ANY of those either lol

The full movie is on YouTube.

1st Lion King. Mufasa...

Not a big fan of Smith but Seven Pounds got to me back when it came out;



The trailer doesn't really do the movie justice, but it would give away a lot of the plot if it did.

I'm trying to find a movie with George Clooney, but didn't comes on wiki filmography.

The movie is about a dog that every single day goes to the train station waiting for is owner (George Clooney), but in one day the owner dies and the dog keeps going every day to the train station waiting for him. The movie is based in a real story that happened in Japan, i think Haikido or something like that. Cryed like a sissi girl watching that movie.

If you can find the movie, i really advice it if you just want to cry.

ok, i've found the movie


EDIT:
Not George Clooney, my bad...

[Ealyssa]

Nothing will ever beat The Green Mile in the 'feels'.

Just this. I'm no cryer, but this movie...

Will had "Marley & Me" too. But I had a labrador.

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.

i cried at dragonheart, loved that dragon.
