most depressing movie ever... a descent into depravity. it's a movie i wish i had never seen, i don't need to know there are people who are that sick and f*cked up (this bboard not withstanding, yuck yuck yuck).

My college roommate always cried at the end of "When Harry Met Sally" -- it infuriated her as 'life never works out like that!'
- Ordinary People, because it's so true to life, all of us are screwed up inside in some way.

Ahhh, but aren't all people sick and fucked up in some way? I mean, c'mon, who here hasn't drugged his son's friends in order to have sex with them at least once or twice?
I hear ya though, and I don't know why I like this movie so much. I guess it just hurts so good.
-
I haven't been able to bring myself to watch Happiness. After Welcome to the Dollhouse, I didn't think his movies could get any more depressing. Apparently, they did...
-
Neon Genesis Evangelion (yes, it's a series, but "The End of Evangelion" was released as a movie, I believe).
-
Scratch my previous one. The Sweet Hereafter. Any movie that starts with a busload of kids dying and has a father abusing his daughter can't leave you in a happy place. Love Sarah Polly's cover of "Courage" at the very end.

Apocalypse Now

A Scanner Darkly, though it is Keanu...

A Time for Drunken Horses is by far the most depressing movie I have ever seen.

any movie made by Solondz, Fassbinder or Von Trier

The Story of Ricky (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1rHQ4m_fdo)
I love the scene where the dying guy, who has just had his belly sliced open by Ricky strangles Ricky with his intestines...while they're still attached. That takes real guts!
-
Brilliant film-making is never depressing.
However anything by Lars Von Trier is just pleh.. shocker that.
-
House of Sand and Fog. A girlfriend forced me to rent this and I thought it would be the most boring movie. Holy sweet Christ, it was so friggin depressing.

I beg to differ. American Beauty was ridiculous. How does a non-menacing teen get access to all of that dope? Did he talk video tech with the smugglers?

Biggest dope dealers I have met were very non-menacing. One was a pound plus guy.
-
breaking the waves.
though that could also qualify as the world's most fucked up movie.
-
one of those movies where i could not see what was so great about it. i thought it was ordinary.

If you didn't think American Beauty was one of the best films ever, you weren't paying attention to it. The character development is unlike any other...ever.
-
Agreed. Kevin Spacey tells us not to feel sorry for him at the end, but I just can't help it. :(
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Closer
A Walk to Remember
House of Flying Daggers

and boring.
-
I ranked American Beauty really high on my all time list for several years. It's slipped a bit. For instance, **SPOILER** I never realized how cliche it is to have your closet gay as a tough marine.

Most fucked up movie is Seven...
-
Little Children is pretty damn depressing. that last scene gives me chills.
and happiness is beyond f-ed up. its hard to watch phillip seymour hoffman and not think of that film.
crash is very disturbing too. i still cant sit through that movie. i walked out of it in theaters when it was first released. (and no, not the oscar movie) the cronenberg film with holly hunter

People think Sheryl Crow has a good voice. That's depressing.

Originally posted by sweetcell:

I think someone mentioned this on page 1 but I agree that it sure belongs on this list.
Kind of in the same vein (haha, no pun intended):
Drugstore Cowboy
Also...
Casino
Barfly
-
Barfly was uplifting, not depressing.

Well, yeah, in it's own decadent kind of way.
(To be honest, I saw it so many years ago that I don't remember it all that well.)

The Wind That Shakes the Barley
Just saw this. It's very well done although a real downer.

Yeap. Very sad.
To some degree,
Breakfast At Tiffany's
The cat scene made me cry.
-
Basketball Diaries

Boy's Don't Cry (I was out of it for about three hours after that wrenching movie)
-
As a kid - Bambi or Snoopy Come Home (well, it was sad when he got lost!)
-
What about Dumbo when is mum dies?
-
Just got done watching United 93.
Wow.
Depressing because you keep hoping and hoping the ending will be different.

How in the hell did I forget this one? It was one of my favorite movies when I was a kid, but damn, was it ever sad. :(
That actually just made me think of another one, though, a movie adaptation that only just came out of a book I read probably over fifteen years ago.
Bridge to Terebithia
That book actually made me cry (I was in fifth grade or so at the time, to be fair), and the movie certainly did it justice.
Also, the first time I saw Armageddon, I thought the part where Bruce Willis says goodbye to his daughter near the end was ridiculously sad. Hell, I've thought that every time I've seen it, but the first time was still the worst.
-
Definitely agree with the Solondz mentions as well as Requiem for a Dream...those are films that I have seen that I never want to see again.
To add to the list: Kids, Bully, Brokeback Mountain
-
The Crying Game.
I know I'b be depressed if I thought I was getting my hole only to find out there's a tallywacker down there!! :(
-
On Her Majesty's Secret Service ...a sad ending for a Bond flick.

Rushmore - I hated myself after that movie...what a waste of a perfectly good free rental voucher.
The Big Lebowski - Needed counselling after spending hard earned money on that one

Just because we were talking about this at dinner the other night, I have to echo those who said:
Dancer in the Dark
For whatever reason, I wasn't expecting that ending ... and I think that (glasses) scene may be the single most heart-wrenching (heart-rending?) scene I can recall in many years ...
Why does it strike me as so odd that David Morse has gone from the nice-guy roles like Boomer in "St. E" and the daddy-alien in "Contact" to the odious villains of "Ditd," "Hounddog" and "Disturbia"?

He also played an, um, asshole cop in a "House" story arc over several episodes.

What a bore-a-thon that film was. Makes me not wanna see Dogtown.
