Forrest Gump.
I've watched it 3 times, all after finishing a long set of night shifts, and it makes me weep like a baby.

The diving bell and the butterfly. Bout a French man who suffers a stroke and dictates a book by blinking. Really amazing film.

"You buy furniture. You tell yourself, this is the last sofa I will ever need in my life. Buy the sofa, then for a couple years you're satisfied that no matter what goes wrong, at least you've got your sofa issue handled. Then the right set of dishes. Then the perfect bed. The drapes. The rug. Then you're trapped in your lovely nest, and the things you used to own, now they own you"

I watched The Light Thief the other night - moving but not the most uplifting film.

Another vote for Up, weirdly good film.
If you want moving, try Requiem For A Dream, The Wrestler, Pi, Black Swan. They will all move you to somewhere you don't want to be mind.
Also Lost In Translation. Another oddly good film.
Garden State isn't too bad, Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind is interesting, World's Greatest Dad, Shawshank Redemption (obviously).

For me touching the void and the beckoning silence

Well most of my suggestions are gone!
Seven Pounds deserves to be more well known that it is, great film. +1 for Forrest Gump, Eternal Sunshine and Shawshank.
The Pursuit of Happyness is worth a watch. Pay it Forward is good.

another vote here for up, surprisingly adult theme (not that way) but also genuinely funny in bits too.

Dead Poets and Shawshank as already mentioned but one for me - Grapes of Wrath.
