Most depressing movie you ever saw

[rayen020]

Aronofsky's Requiem For A Dream
...
God, I still can't get over Requiem for a Dream.

yeah, That movie permanently put me off drugs. Mcgruff, DARE, Straight up, all those chapters of all those health books, all those lectures from police officers/teachers/parents/relatives/reformed drug addicts. NONE OF THEM WERE AS EFFECTIVE AS THAT MOVIE.

To this day, i say if you don't want kids to do drugs just show all the 5th graders requiem for a dream.

 

[Soviet Steve]

Jesus Camp was pretty nasty.

 

[Madara XIII]

Requiem for a Dream.
Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance.

hmmm never heard of Sympathy for Mr Vengeance. Care to give an elaboration? I'm genuinely interested.

Another good one however would definitely be WHAT DREAMS MAY COME with Robin Williams. You want a depressing look on the afterlife then look no further.

Requiem For a Dream soundtrack is, according to my stepsister, the "soundtrack of hell". But somehow the movie hits a screwed button in my brain and I don't feel depressed by it. Maybe because I have been reading the news since I was a kid and already have known a lot of drug tragedy.

Bridge for Terabithia is quite sad. It made my over 20 years old cry in a movie for the first time in her life. And boy, did she cry...

Deadgirl is very depressing to me, because it hits me personally.

Off the top of my head, I'd have to say the ending to The Mist and pretty much all of Buried, particularly the ending as well. Man those were depressing scenes.

 

[Jamieson 90]

In no paricular order
The Pianist
The Road
The Green Mile
The Mist (seriously what with all the depressing films starting with the?)
Watership down (Hard stuff for a kid)
Not a flm yet but they are making it, the film in question, Ender's Game. (Seriously depressing when you consider just how much he goes through and the ending to top it off.) With that said it's one of my favourite novels to date. (Shame they probably going to ruin the movie)

So yeah after those I think you might just want to kill yourself.

 

[Helmholtz Watson]

A.I. - Artificial intelligence

Spoiler: The ending was really depressing

Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance.

Here is the review and synopsis from the site I originally heard of it from.

here is IMDB [link]http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0310775/[/link]

The movie is about a recently laid off deaf-mute factory worker who's sister is dying. She needs a kidney transplant, but prospects look extremely dim. he tries to find her a kidney through 'other' means, but ends up missing a kidney of his own, AND his life savings of ten million yen. The factory workers revolutionary girlfriend comes up with a plan: kidnap his former bosses daughter.

This movie is a pure tragedy. from start to finish.

The closest thing I can really compare it to is a cross between Requiem for a Dream, a high Shakespearean tragedy, and Oldboy.

Moon was pretty depressing. The twist was brilliant.

 

[AgentNein]

Requiem For A Dream. I bet at least ten people have already nominated this bastard of a film.

OH WOW! Thanks for that. I'm definitely look that movie up. Sounds wonderfully depressing. In a good sense.

 

[Relish in Chaos]

Strangely, the only film I?ve ever cried at is at the end of "Man on Fire" (although I was younger back then). I came damn close to crying at the end of "Toy Story 3". Seriously, best film trilogy EVER (no, I haven?t seen "The Godfather" trilogy yet).

"The Machinist" was pretty depressing too, when it turned out that the insomniac main character effectively destroyed all of his relationships with his friends due to his paranoia and only realized that the man who?d apparently been engineering all this was he himself, nothing more than a figment of his imagination. And then he finally confesses to the crime at the police headquarters and is escorted to his cell, where he finally goes to sleep for the first time in a year.

"American History X". Specifically that ending. It just comes completely out of the blue and you can really feel for the character as he?s tearfully cradling his dead younger brother in his arms. Brilliant performance from Edward Norton.

 

[Solemn Marth]

where the red fern groes

 

[BathorysGraveland]

I don't usually find myself having a depressed feeling with any film at all (particularly those silly little love stories they always try and make out as sad shit) but one film that I can think of that made me feel slightly sad, was Stalingrad (1993). It shows the eastern front from the perspective of a few German soldiers. I won't give away any details or anything, as I'm sure a number of people here probably haven't seen it, but the ending is pretty damn emotional.

 

[breadsammich]

The Boy in the Striped Pajamas. I don't think I've ever been as sad during a movie as with that one. It's a GREAT movie, but the ending just makes you feel like someone took all the happiness out of life temporarily.

 

[A Raging Emo]

Either Requiem for a Dream or Sucker Punch.

 

[Pyramid Head]

Breaking Dawn. I was faked out, i was really thinking Bella was dead, but NOOOOO... the evil ***** had to become undead.

I kid.
I never watched Breaking Dawn. I'm not that masochistic. My real answer?

Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. I first saw it when i was a kid and Gandalf's death hit me like a break launched out of a cannon. Other than that though, i tend to have a...
...strange... sense of humor and more often than not things that are supposed to depress crack me up because more often than not i find that the execution was sloppy.
