What are some very beautiful and emotional movies? (Preferrably those about very grandiose or profound themes) (sh.itjust.works)

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...)

When the Wind Blows

In this hand-drawn animated tale, elderly married couple Hilda (Peggy Ashcroft) and Jim Bloggs (John Mills) have their quiet, simple lives in the English countryside interrupted when they learn of an impending nuclear attack. Not completely understanding the gravity of their situation, Hilda and Jim react archaically and insufficiently after the attack -- and the film takes a dark turn as the radiation begins taking its toll on the unsuspecting couple.

I didn't make it through that movie, though it's very well done.

It wasn't so much a tear jerker for me. It just left me feeling sick to my stomach.

I'm pretty sure that was kind of the point. I didn't think it was sad so much as an extremely troubling look at the human experience.

It's an incredibly uncomfortable movie to watch. If you were sick in the beginning you would really not have been well at the end.
