You're all wrong!

THE most depressing movie of all time is....

Threads.

I strongly recommend NOT looking it up on youtube.

My poor soul was crushed without watching the whole movie.

I guess Im a glutton for punishment because I found threads and watched it. It was depressing for sure but it scared me more than anything.

I watched THREADS in a class in college.  The professor didn't announce in advance that we would be watching it nor did he tell anone what it was about.  A lot of people were freaked out by it.

By far the most depressing movie I have ever seen was Requiem For A Dream. I couldn't sleep that night and haven't been able to watch the movie since.

Not particularly mainstream but two movies I saw fairly recently:
Flavia The Heretic
Begotten

Rev. Powell

Flavia The Heretic
Begotten

Interesting.  I didn't find BEGOTTEN depressing, because the characters were too abstract, and therefore impossible to identify with. Personally, it's hard to say what emotion I took away from the movie.  It was a complex combination of disturbance, fascination, intoxication, and boredom (by the end).  I'm not saying at all that your response was illegitimate by any means; it's certainly a movie that everyone takes away something different from.

FLAVIA is a movie I've always wanted to see just because I find the title interesting, and the whole concept of nunsploitiation as sort of dirty and intriguing.

You're right, Begotten is really one of those movies that everyone will take away something different from, just for me I got the whole 'Humanity is evil' thing.
'Flavia' is certainly worth checking out, it's a cut above the usual Nunsploitation flick and you really end up feeling for Flavia and everything she goes through by about the half way point. I won't say anymore as not to ruin it.

Most depressing movie, ummm ... Vulgar.

It's about a clown that gets raped, no lie. I remember Howard Stern said DONT WATCH IT! and what did I do? I watched it. Really depressing, made me sick for days.  :bluesad:

I always thought the original ending to "Evil Dead III:Army of Darkness" where Ash goes through all that demon bullsh*t just to wake up in a post-apocalyptic junkyard was a downer.... I'm one of the few who's glad they re-shot it.

Vulgar was a pretty bleak movie interesting only as it had Dante from Clerks in the lead role.

As for the original Rip Van Winkle ending for Army of Darkness it was a set-up for Evil Dead IV where Ash would have been this time the "primitive screwhead" as opposed to the man from the future with all the technology. While the original ending makes sense if the series was to continue, the re-shoot is one of my favorite sequences and a nod to Chuck Connors who had passed away the year before.

There are lots of sad films... TESTAMENT, though, is damned depressing.

Yeah, "Vulgar" was brutal... I realized I was in way over my head and shut-er'-down about 20min into the movie. From what I'm reading; I'm glad I did...  :tongueout:

I totally agree with this. The ending of Threads almost destroyed me.
