Movies about suicide
I am looking for movies about suicide or suicide ideation as a main theme.
Any recommendations?

Isn't there a relatively recent film (last 5 years?) about a male teenager who loses a friend that he didn't have a chance to reconcile with?
Don't know if it's suicide or accidental death but somehow it's sad but also uplifting? I'm sure someone here knows what I'm talking about.
Dream with the Fishes
Martin & Orloff
I've never seen Dear Evan Hansen but once I was told the title, now I see it is about a young person's suicide.
By now I suppose someone else has mentioned it, but earlier I didn't see it.
This movie could be much better without the music scenes.
I rated Dear Evan Hansen 4/10
I don't doubt it. The subject just rang that bell for me. I remember seeing the trailer and thinking it was probably a maudlin tearjerker, but the idea seemed sort of touching. Never planned on watching it.
shareBird Box
The Royal Tenenbaums
Little Miss Sunshine
Imaginary Heroes
The Secret Life of Bees
13 Reasons Why (tv series)
Wonder Boys has a morbid character who can recite all the classic Hollywood stars who committed suicide.
13 Reasons Why is one of the few tv series I watched in the last 20 years (actually only season 1 but still) managed to provoke a serious discussion about the subject of suicide. I must said the criticism about romanticizing suicide is not entirely wrong.
Little Miss Sunshine is wonderful movie in general.
The Secret Life of Bees, Imaginary Heroes and Bird Box I need to see. Imaginary Heroes sound the most fit for what I looking for
I seen Wonder Boys but don't remember nothing about the movie.
Perks of Being a Wallflower
shareSunshine Cleaning has a pivotal scene with a suicide but it's not really about suicide. I like the movie, tho.
shareI am not remember much from this movie, especially not a suicide scene, rated this one 5/10 in IMDb.
shareSorry to see that about your rating. I'll admit some movies catch my interest at the time and they may not be that great in retrospect. A bit of cheap drama and faux sentiment gets to me sometimes, mix in some comedy and pull the heart strings. Doesn't mean it's great cinema, but for that window of time it hits the mark.
Amy Adams, Emily Blunt, Alan Arkin? What's not to like?
The suicide scene is at the very beginning, where the protagonist gets the idea to go into the cleaning business.
I am more into feel good movies and drama right now than 10 years ago, so maybe I will give this movie another chance. And yes, the cast is great.
