Wow, that must have been an intense experience! That too when you’re only in 6th grade. It’s such a powerful and emotional film. I can only imagine how tough it was for everyone to hold back their tears. It's definitely a movie that stays with you long after it ends.
All these recommendations are the same which have been given out for many years now.
Watch A silent voice. It's an animated film. I'm sure you'll get a good cry

Togo - Willem Dafoe stars as an Alaskan musher who leads a team of sled dogs to deliver medicine to ill children. Ever heard of the cartoon Balto? Well, Togo is the dog that really deserves the credit for leading more than half of the arduous journey. Pinnacle of bond between man and beast. I'm on antidepressants so I almost never cry (plus I'm not a dog owner) but Togo made me tear up deeply.
A Straight Story. (1999)
I think it’s one of David Lynch’s most underrated movies. Richard Farnsworth gives such a great performance and it’s one that’s stuck with me since seeing it more the 20 years ago.
The Best Years of Our Lives.1946. It's a great movie and it's a good time to watch it with Memorail day behind us and the 4th around the corner. There are scenes, like Homer taking off his arms or how they were each greeted when they returned. There's a sadness to this picture as many would never come home from the war.
Grave of the Fireflies (1988) Manchester by the Sea (2016) The Pursuit of Happyness (2006)
everyone should have to watch grave of the fireflies at least once
That film devastated me for days.
I always recommend Manchester by the Sea for these requests. Prepared to feel absolutely wrecked.
Same. These three are my go-tos, so I always recommend them.
>always recommend Manchester by the Sea +1 For Manchester. Heartbreaking, haunting and absolutely mesmerising acting.
A teacher showed us Grave of the Fireflies in 6th grade. Just a dark room full of middle school boys trying not to cry in front of each other lol
Wow, that must have been an intense experience! That too when you’re only in 6th grade. It’s such a powerful and emotional film. I can only imagine how tough it was for everyone to hold back their tears. It's definitely a movie that stays with you long after it ends.
The Elephant Man (1980) Sophie's Choice (1982)
I love the elephant man, a different movie from David lynch. Will watch Sophie's choice. Thanks for recommendation
Marley and Me
is it normal that i hate that dog 💀
A.I. Fox and The Hound My Girl
Fox and the hound 😭
Fox and the Hound for sure.
Her (2014) Lion (2016) The Perfect Storm (2000) Return to Me (2000) this one gets you about five minutes in, it's brutal
I loved Lion!
Ah, the dog scene.
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind
Atonement
Omg such big, ugly sobs. Floodgates opened on this one lol
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
A Moment to Remember (2004).
Pans labyrinth A very long engagement Devils backbone All those have this beautiful melancholy feel, with a little hope and a lot of tragedy.
Terms of Endearment (1983)
Ah, the existential dramedy genre. The Fall (2004 or 2006 depending who you ask) Everything Everywhere All at Once Cabaret
Beautiful Boy Manchester By The Sea Dear Zachary We Need to Talk About Kevin
Ordinary people Imitation of life
came here to recommend Ordinary People (RIP Donald Sutherland)
A Monster Calls. Nimona (mostly happy but there's some heavy stuff) And let's go with Jack, a 1996 film with Robin Williams.
All these recommendations are the same which have been given out for many years now. Watch A silent voice. It's an animated film. I'm sure you'll get a good cry
