The most depressing movie you\'ve ever seen?
 

For me it's gotta be Requiem For A Dream...
[spoil]
Especially Ellen Burstyn's role, I feel so bad for her. The other 3 were druggies to begin with, but she evolved into one under the belief that she'd be on what she obsesses over, TV. :'(

What's the most depressing movie you've ever seen?

ummmm
"The Deer Hunter" or "The bridge".
Both are pretty messed up and both are one time onlys for me.

The end of Stepmom has always made me cry.

Erm.. The Green Mile always makes me cry.

In terms of reflection on society though, I'd say KiDULTHOOD.

Aww it made me teary too, only watched it once though. ^^
but i think Titanic has to be the most depressing for me, doesn't fail to get me blubbing everytime i watch.
'JACCCCK!' :sad:

American History X and Crash though I love them both, love a bit o depression me

Oh always Titanic, I think I will always cry whilst watching it. I mean Leonardo Di'Caprio is so GORGEOUS!!!
And of couse he dies in the film aswell. lol

The Notebook

P.S I Love you makes me cry for days!!!!!!

:sad:

Edit. I meant the sad part


So Bambi in general.

What about the END of Bambi. When the mum dies. OMG :bawling::bawling:

well i cry at loads of films lol! but there was one i forgot what its called! but i cryed and cryed i was heart broken!:tongue: it was on ture movies on sky it was an old film but it was realy sed!:blush2:

oh yeh Bambi thats sad and watership down..bright eyes...:bawling:

"Nil by Mouth" is quite depressing but a brilliant film.

Atonement is terribly sad. Made me cry.

Requiem for a dream is a great film but I understand why you found it depressing. Films that depress me are the likes of Independence Day and titanic i.e. average films that are wildly overrated.

Elephant.

It is about a shooting at a school and is loosely based on the Colombine (sp) massacrer. Most of the people in it are not actors, they were students or teachers at the school where it was filmed and there was little in the way of a script, just ideas.

Stunning, but has no hope that this won't happen again and again.




If you don't get on with slow films don't bother with this. You will hate it.

The Boy in Striped Pyjamas was incredibly upsetting and distressing.
Bambi was very depressing as well, but i don't cry at it.

Irreversible.

This is one of the most walked-out films in the history of the Cannes Film Festival.

It is banned in it's uncut form in a number of countries due to one particularly brutal scene.

It is told in reverse chronograph order and is a French language film.

It is in my top 10 films and I thoroughly recommend it. It is brutal from the off. You have been warned.

Kill Bill
The Strangers
Hotel Rwanda
and others lol

Bambi :blush: Im sorry but i cried loads, i feel for animals lol x

yeah i heard that's horrible

I am on a roll now.

Mean Creek.

Just watch the trailer.

Oh yeah Titanic too. But I dont really like the film anymore, i watched it soo many times when i was younger... i guess i got bored of it.

A Little Princess makes me cry EVERY TIME but it isn't depressing...

oh yeh very depressing. Love Kathy Burke though

The Boy In the Striped Pyjamas.

The Notebook ;; I sit with a tub of Ben and Jerry's and just cry my eyes out.

Stepmom ;; Brilliant movie with the fabulous Julia Roberts but the ending is horrible but in a kind of nice way -- still depressing though.

The 9/11 movie (can't remember what it's called) ;; Obviously

Bambi
West Side Story
Goen with the wind
To Kill A Mockingbird
Fox and the Hound
Atonement
The Notebook
The Boy In The striped Pyjamas
P.S I Love You
Brokeback Mountain :C I love crying watching that filim... I love it so much.

I love Sad Movies in general.
:)

I wouldn't call 'The Notebook' depressing,I cry like a baby ever time I watch it but it cheers me up.

Love Story depressed me

Titanic and Bambi always got me. I haven't seen The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas will probably get me too -- the book brought me to tears, too. :sad:

Titanic and The Sixth Sense
The ending is just..... :bawling:

Gus Van Sant can do no wrong

Grave of the Fireflies, one of Studio Ghibli's best.

I was going to say the same! It's the only film that has made me feel REALLY crap afterwards...

oh and Baise moi

hey translate that for us will you? :tongue:

Titanic, has to be and always will be the most depressing film I've ever seen.

I can't remember all of them but recently I saw boy in striped pajamas because two of the actors/actresses go to my school and i actually don't remember feeling so scared and sad over a film!

hmm better not:wink:

I am a fool for a sad film.. I watch them to make myself cry and get the boohoos out.

Ones that always work for this are:

A Walk to Remember -
The reason I cry is when she dies and he is so young and lost his wife and its just soooo sad how he tried to complete her list of things to do before dying.. Also poem of what love is, beautiful. Cry everytime.

The Green Mile -
Cry all the way through as I feel soooo sorry for John Koffee, being chased by people with pitch forks etc and he can see all this pain in the world and unable to help a lot. Also cry when he heels the guys wife and she is like "I seen you in my dreams"

Atonement -
When he is taken away at the beginning and blamed for raping someone and she had just admitted her love

P.S. I love you -
I cry because I put myself in that situation and how I would feel if my man died so young and I cry when she is standing at his little fort and is unable to be in Ireland again with him.

The Notebook -
Cry when you just see Noah building this house from nothing only because he promised someone he loved six years before hand, never knowing if he would ever see her again. Also cried at the end when Ali forgets who he is again and he just bubbles away crying because his loved one doesnt remember him.. breaks my heart actually getting upset writing this.

Titanic -
I cry where others dont in this film, I cry when you see all the lower class people being trapped and unable to get on life boats etc and all the higher class and richer people get to live. That upsets me.

Crash -
Cry at the end when he reaches into his pocket to get the same little statue and the police officer shoots him as he doesnt trust him only because of what other police officers have said against the black community. That actually killed me as well. That whole film is really sad how all the lives interlink. Genius.

American History X -
Cry at the end where the younger brother is finished his essay and has decided that he is going to move on with his life like his brother who is his idol - then gets shot because of his past. Mainly cried as I imagined that it was my little brother who died so i was in hysterics with tears and actually screaming.. god i am too emotional

Moulin Rouge -
Cry when she dies at the end and they dont get a proper chance to be with each other.

Forest Gump -
Cry the whole way through this one as well mainly because I feel sooo sorry for him and he sticks by Jenny even though she is messed up and he is just so naive to life. And then he has to watch his best mate die in his arms and just everything is so sad. He is so simple which makes you wana look after him and then you just get upset.

Beaches -
Cries when her friend dies and she realises what love and friendship is about

Brokeback Mountain -
Cry when he doesnt get to find out how he died properly and how he is going to have a life alone without his best mate

Billy Elliott -
Cry when the dad and brother break down in each others arms in the snow because they cant provide for billy properly and realise that they are soo poor and need to be there for billy.. male bonding.. kills me

And a few others.. I know none of you asked why I cried at each one and why they upset me but I am bored and its 4.15am in the morning so you are getting my life story of emotion! haha

I am actually so down now.. God dam this thread!

I don't mind depressing films ... as long as they're uplifting and have some hope in them as well.
This years Tropfest NY winner... (world short film awards) ..is like that

"Mankind Is No Island"
