Most depressing movie you ever saw

[.No.]

Avatar. Those poor mercs didn't get payed. I feel their pain.

Especially because most of them got killed by giant blue people with primitive technology, while they had helicopters and guns (not to mention a hell of a lot more, if they could even get to Pandora). This is why I insist that Borderlands is the real sequel to Avatar.

Toy story 3, I felt my soul dying when the movie ended.

You know their doing something right when you have a male in his 20's biting back tears!

 

[E-Z]

My first thought is The Sunshine Limited with Samuel L Jackson and Tommy Lee Jones just sitting in a room talking about life & death.

 

[Scappo]

The Mist, followed by What Dreams may Come and A.I. Bicentennial man is also up there for me. I could go on, but those are the ones that stand out above the rest !

Definitely The Road if you don't feel insanely depressed after that movie then something is very wrong with you.

It was more of a bittersweet ending, because the kid ended up getting a family in the end. It would've been extremly depressing if what I thought was going to happen happened. When he started talking to the father of the new family, I thought the father was a raider, and was going to kill him. The ending was still sad, just not insanely depressing.

Toy Story 3, that totally killed my childhood. :/

I haven't read the book, but I think I remember my friend, who read the book, saying that the family ended up being bad guys or something and did off him. I honestly can't remember.

Definitely a toss up between Grave of the Fireflies and The Pianist. My friends and I couldn't even finish the Pianist because we got so depressed, and four years later I have yet to pick it up again.(Also, even though it's not a movie Elfin Lied is the most depressing series I've seen, but is still amazing.)

julien donkey-boy is generally unsettling and depressing.

Wow, I really didn't expect to get ninja'd on that one. Congratulations. But yeah, great movie. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time, and the ending was powerful. I had goosebumps for a while after it ended.

GOD DAMN IT, here I was thinking it wasn't depressing as fuck. I didn't read the book either, although I have it and will probably start reading it. Although the family did seem a bit weird, and too perfect. When the boy asked if they had a daughter, she just appeared out of the nether (or something, I think this happened).

Marley and me

 

[Avaholic03]

probably Children of Men

I don't care how hopeful the end was supposed to be, that movie was just depressing

Hmmm, I didn't really expect someone to ninja that one. I must agree wholeheartedly. Whereas movies like Schindler's List and others mentioned in this thread made me feel sad, Children of Men really made me feel mostly numb. I just sat there listening to the soundtrack over the end credits, utterly depressed.

I stumbled upon it on Syfy
I first thought it was another of those Syfy original movies, but was surprised to find a well written, albeit depressing, movie

Well, a little good news, the book and film have similar endings.

I think the most tear-jerking film for me - and this is just my opinion - was recent BBC TV movie United.

Take a bunch of young men in the 1880s. Make them into a football team. Call it Manchester United. Now fast forward to the 1950s, where there's still that football team. Now make them brilliant - Barcelona-now brilliant. Now stick them on a plane to Belgrade for a Champions League match. Now stick them on a Soviet private plane back. Now redirect them via Munich.

Now watch it crash.

Now watch them die.

Some take weeks. Some were instantaneous.

And no, these aren't spoilers. The Munich air disaster really happened. The film uses archive news footage of the funeral procession, all in black and white (obviously), all with a BBC announcer talking in clipped '50s BBC tones about the impermanence of human beings in the face of the universe. For those as yet unconvinced, it has David Tennant sobbing in a Soviet concrete stairwell with an expression of the purest anguish.

They were United.

It's been mentioned a few times already, but for me Grave of the Fireflies is the saddest movie I've ever seen, bar none. The only people I've ever seen not be choked up by it were those who couldn't sit through much of it "because it's boring, and the protagonist is a pussy".

 

[Madara XIII]

Grave of the fireflies.

I usually avoid depressing movies, but I don't believe any other movies I watched had the same impact as this little gem from Japan.

Requiem for a Dream, hands down. That movie was just...wow.

I will never understand how one can go down the path of Jared Leto if you have a hot babe as Jennifer Connelly as your GF > . > Great movie either-way.

END OF EVANGELION


That is all.

Kukukukukuku ... I laughed my ass off when everyone turned into primordial goo by Rei ... that was just .... "o.o, I hear you fap off hentai rendition of moi, time to pay the ultimate price!!!"- Rei > . >

Yeah, but You reminded me of Grave of the Fireflies. That was just too damn sad mostly because I have a little sister and Damn Straight Requiem for a Dream is by far the most depressing move I've ever seen
