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...)

Apollo 11 was quite nicely made.

It's basically a documentaty made using remastered original footage along with beautiful soundscape.

This might be an outlier as far as how other people might watch or react to this movie but I rewatched Millennium Actress recently and I could not stop crying the whole movie.

It’s gives me feelings of deep desperation, chasing, longing, almost persevering.

Lots of Ghibli mentioned, Kiki’s Delivery Service is a favorite of mine. :) Not sure how much it fits ‘grandiose’ and ‘profound’, but I’m definitely a sob-fest by the end.

Probably going to get some hate for who's in it (Jared Letto) and some of the content (step sibling incest), but the ending of Mr. Nobody wrecked me.

Your list is getting quite long but here's another less week known movie:

Nine Days (by Edson Oda)

If you want sometime currently in the theater, you might try The Life of Chuck. Likely to make you cry, but uplifting. Great cast.

Forrest Gump.

Oh man, how has 'The Fall' not been mentioned?!

It's one of the most visually stunning movies I've ever seen, and the story will tear your heart out.
