most depressing film
 

so what is a tough watch for its subject matter or bleak endings

Breaking the waves

The vanishing

I HATED Love Story,I watched it when I was younger with my mum and I just got so annoyed,like what the feck was the point! I'm still bitter now :laugh:

Toy Story 1

sad she died:joker:

Yeah but I have movies where people die all the time. And it works for the story but I just didn't see why she had to die! It was stupid.

Yeah, Breaking the Waves is tough. I'd go for Requiem for a Dream too.

The green mile.
Its sad not depressing though i think.

Superbad

Superbad depressing? lol

Is quality.

thats a tough one too

one who flew over the cukoo's nest

Requiem For A Dream is one of my favourite films of all time but also one of the most depressing ever made. It needs to be to tell that story.

hows that depressing Jack:joker:

I was thinkng of that whilst posting but after watching it again for the umpteenth time the other day, it is quite humourous. A lot of scenes have comedy in them, it's only the end which is depressing.

I was joking with Superbad :tongue:

yep its the end that does it for me

thelma and loiuse:bawling:

gladiator', the ending made me cry :(

Either: -
Deer Hunter....................................
Philedelphia....................
21 Grams..............

What is the point of nicely packaged happy little endings - that have no bearing on reality?

The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas...I was left numb by the end lmao.

Revolutionary Road affected me a lot.

Rugrats in Paris

To Kill A Mocking Bird, The Green Mile, Shawshank Redemption.....

The Magdelane Sisters

really? I see it more uplifting :S I guess the parts of Brooks and Tommy are quite sad.

Bit where the little fat guy gets beaten to near death upset me in that film

Escapism.

What relevance has Die Hard got to real life? If your corporate building is taken over by German uberterrorists, when in doubt use the ventilation shafts?

Bambai, The Lion King, Ghost.

I thought he WAS beaten to death :s well, I think it's said he dies later in hospital

For me its "LIFE". It was a comedy, but to me, it was completely depressing. At the end of the day, the 2 guys stayed in Jail their whole lives for a crime they didnt commit. I found it really depressing.

Oh I forgot to answer the topic ...

Blow. Even if she did visit him in prison afterwards [I had to check on Wikipedia to ease my mind] it's still very depressing stuff. Especially the bit where his daughter is sitting on her suitcase outside the house.

Alot of hyped up flicks that amount to very little really depress me. You know, ones like Spiderman 3, Terminator 3 and 4 etc.

Grave of the Fireflies is heartbreaking. Requiem For a Dream is another one as well.

A recent example for me would be The Road. Seriously bleak.

I think there's confusion between sad and depressing going on in this thread thus far.

I enjoyed it though. Same as I did with The Proposition which is another depressing film.

The Diary of Anne Frank

bitch complained about everything

Lilya 4 ever

My Girl is pretty gut wrenching.

@Shaun, the end of the film had me in floods of tears, but more out of the atmosphere. The outcome didn't upset me terribly because I had read the book already [though it is very different to the film]

Forest Gump was quite depressing......loads of highs and lows.....

also I agree with Stu about BLOW, end of that movie really made me think of things differently and stop doing stuff because I didnt wanna end up like him....

Just watched Precious the other day, wowsers!

Requiem for a Dream.
