Recommend me a depressing movie.

Terms of Endearment

The Sweet Hereafter

How did I forget that, I think I killed myself while watching it. Great movie though.

Monster’s Ball. Without a doubt.

The Champ

We nearly had to bring my sister to the hospital the first time she saw it. She couldn’t breath she was crying so hard.

*Old Yeller

Where the Red Fern Grows

Brian’s Song*

How about the New-Zealand movie Once Were Warriors.
About a very disfunctional family, with an incredibly violent dad.
It has everything you need : domestic violence, rape and suicide. :frowning:
Absolutely heart-breaking, but a very, very good film

Requiem for a Dream is also a very good one.
Leaving Las Vegas ain’t no picnic either.
Boys don’t cry just made me very angry.

I 2nd Once Were Warriors an incredible hard hitting, pun intended, movie.

Not a movie to go on a first date to as I did but then again I also went on a first date to The Accused :smack:

Osama, especially the final scene. It’s about a girl living under the Taliban.

First and last?

Yep.

Good movies though, you think they would have appreciated your taste.

Actually only the Accused lead to no further dates. I got two hours of how all men were bastards and potential rapists. I didn’t call her after that.

OWW just shocked the fuck out of the girl. She was a bit of a wallflower.

21 Grams

I dare you to try and feel good after this one.

I showed Shadowlands to my fiancé a few months ago and she was sobbing by the end. I guess I’d forgotten just how sad it was.
“Why did you show this to me? It’s so sad!”

JOHNNY GOT HIS GUN

THE SEVENTH SEAL (not to be confused with The Seventh Sign- PLEASE!)

HAROLD AND MAUDE can be depressing or just bittersweet

THE RAPTURE (w/ Mimi Rogers & David Duchovny- yes, it’s the kind of Rapture the Left Behind series is about, but this one is good)

The Grifters has a bit of downer feeling to it, and it is a good movie.

My first thought like many others was Grave of the Fireflies

here is another ‘makes you cry’ depressing title

Rabbit-Proof Fence

Movies that make you cry… ditto to **Trunk’s ** list but adding **Always ** and Steel Magnolias. Oh and Iron Giant.

Glory. Most depressing damned movie I’ve ever seen.

Wholehearted agreement with House of Sand and Fog, which is a damned depressing movie, and Rabbit Proof Fence.

I’d also recinnend adding Mystic River and The Magdalene Sisters to the viewing list.
