I thought Walkabout was pretty depressing. Dad offing himself, then the kids being left for dead, the native kid that pretty much saves their lives, only to be discarded once they're out of danger, and his reaction to that. If it weren't for Jenny Agutter being totally nude, it'd be a complete downer.

Noi Albinoi (aka Noi the Albino)

While not as soul-crushingly depressing as some of those previously mentioned like Requiem for a Dream or the wonderfully nihilistic Gummo, Noi the Albino succeeds in painting a relentlessly bleak portrait of isolation.  This film is as stark and cold as any of the Scandinavian classics, but what sets this apart for me is that even the landscapes trap the viewer and serve to siphon away any glimmer of hope.  The looming mountains which dominate every exterior shot blot out the sky entirely, and I guarantee you won't be able to watch this without feeling powerless and claustrophobic.


Yes I agree, this film is pretty bleak. Especially given what is actually occurring behind the scenes. Another thread is about Salo, and that film is pretty devoid of any hope. The Rapture and What Dreams May Come in the afterlife category also come to mind as films that are soul-crushingly depressing.

 To be quite honest, the film that made me feel like I was going to burst into tears was a Spanish film called Pan's Labrinth. This film was ridiculously depressing and will bring tears to your eyes in a heartbeat...so, if any of you plan on seeing it-bring a hanky or something.  Lookingup

It's one of my faves but i didn't cry because it was sad. I thought it was bittersweet happyness.

I think it depends on how you look at the ending, the same can be said for The Orphanage.

Catch 22 the movie version was choatic but just as cynical as the book was.

One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, that was a pretty tragic ending.

I just finished watching Dear Zachary on Youtube. I suddenly have a lot less faith in the legal system.

Its scary how people can manipulate the system. I know its not perfect but the errors in this case had tragic results and the people involved with the decision making should be ashamed.    Thumbdown

Most recently, it would have to be Funny Games with Naomi Watts. That movie just f**ked with me. Before that it would have to be Asia Argento's (yup, she's THAT guys daughter) The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things. These films stories could be pulled straight from the newspaper, so they definitely leave a mark on me.

 I just thought of an epic depressing film: Schindler's List... that was a toughie to watch without some serious waterworks.

As far as major Hollywood releases, the most depressing one that I've seen to date was Seven.  I remember sitting in a theater during the ending credits just feeling like I had been punched in the gut after the macabre twist during the final stretch.
