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.

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
