November 15, 200520 yr Dunno why but i've really gotten into these kind of things recently. Like movies about hopes and dreams being crushed...*shrugs* Requiem For A Dream Donnie Darko That kinda thing. Anyone got any suggestions?
November 15, 200520 yr I still recommend Lilja-4-Ever, which is available everywhere, even on play.com. I'll put on some others tomorrow since I am kind of tired at the moment. :) Signature by Maurice SendakWhen the stars make you drool just like a pasta fazool, that's amore!
November 15, 200520 yr Author Oh yeah, had a look for that one but was like ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã20 on HMV, might get it from play soon :)
November 15, 200520 yr Requiem for a Dream had me feelin down as hell at the end, really good film though. Kirk and Lars I could handle. At the same time.
November 16, 200520 yr i actually was really depressed by oldboy, i kept on thinking "somethings not right" and "this guy is screwed" and then when you get to the kicker of the movie, its like getting kicked in the balls. that was my take on it. requiem for a dream was depressing, as was pi (by the same director). i just kept on thinking "this guy is f'ed up" and was actually relieved when he did what he did at the end (trying not to add any spoilers, but its hard not to). i didnt find donnie darko all that bad, he did what he had to do at the end, and he could even get some chuckles in. dd is my favorite movie (if i had to pick one) so i always enjoy watching it. (anyone else think jena malone is really hot in this movie :P ) id actually like to see more depressing and tragic movies, keep em coming. going to check out Lilja-4-Ever at daan's suggestion, see if i can rent it or aquire it somehow.
November 16, 200520 yr Friday Night Lights - Probably one of the worst ever directed and acting sports movie ever. I should literally throw up on the person who made this movie, its complete dog crap and its a joke to football
November 16, 200520 yr Only time I've ever felt like depressed after watching a movie was after seeing Schindler's List. Pretty deep stuff.
November 16, 200520 yr Ladder 49 is the only depressing movie I can remember right now. :: Guess the Movie Contest Champion: pfilc23 ::
November 16, 200520 yr Yea, Indy, Jena Malone is really hawt. :) Hmm, she's only 2 years older than I am. :P Paths of Glory is rather tough. Shooting Dogs After SalÃÆÃâÃâò you're kind of..what's the word..ah: flabergasted. Magnolia is rather heavy. Gouttes d'eau Sur Pierres BrÃÆÃâÃâûlantes <-- despite its funnyness, it's rather heavy matterial aswell. La Fille sur le pont L'Enfant With exception of SaÃÆÃâÃâò and Paths of Glory everything is really new, so it shouldn't be too hard to find it. I'll bring up later when I think of more.

November 16, 200520 yr Definately Schindler's List. Backdraft might qualify but I'm rather iffy on it. And I don't know if A Beautiful Mind would count either. May do.
November 16, 200520 yr Friday Night Lights - Probably one of the worst ever directed and acting sports movie ever. I should literally throw up on the person who made this movie, its complete dog crap and its a joke to football dont think thats really what we are looking for here, that should be in the worst movie ever thread. i did think schindlers list was pretty depressing, but you see so much stuff like that about the jews and nazis in so many movies it kinda just doesnt seem to do anthing anymore. never heard of ladder 49, ill check that out. leave it to daan to give you 4 foreign movies with his list :P only one i saw was magnolia, not one of the foreign ones. good thing you gave the links on imdb, save me some time 8) a beautiful mind was kind of depressing, i dont know if you consider the end as everything working out or not. its kinda wierd. have to check out backdraft.
November 16, 200520 yr Heh, I can't think of really depressing or emotionally heavy Hollywood movies. :? Signature by Maurice SendakWhen the stars make you drool just like a pasta fazool, that's amore!
November 16, 200520 yr well something made me really depresed last night then i saw ur name and it was from the show Futurama it was the episode where they have Fry's old pizza parlour in display at the museum and they find it dog and its been fossilized so fry wants to clone him and it goes back in time showing how fry got frozen and how the dog was really sad cuz he loved fry and he waited and waited and he never came it made me so god damn sad im still sad thinking aboiut it
November 16, 200520 yr Platoon wasn't exactly a barrel of laughs, and the Deer Hunter was pretty rough as well. "Da mihi castitatem et continentam, sed noli modo"
November 16, 200520 yr As others have mentioned, "Shindler's List" is definitaly there. Also "Life is Beautiful (La Vita e Bella)", "City of God", "The Mission" and "Million Dollar Baby". I agree with "Platoon" and think the soundtrack (well, Adagio for Strings) is what really marks that one for me.
November 16, 200520 yr the Green Mile It's funny really because after watching it, I felt extremely rejuvinated and uplifted. I wept like a baby first time I watch, I admit that. It's incredibly sad but the ending just gave this slight explanation for the meaning of life, or perhaps just why we live and love. I dunno, could just be me. This is how much you all raised for charity. Thank you.

As incredibly sad as it was, i didn't feel too depressed at the end. In fact i went to bed with a new sense of uplifted self. It's hard to describe but it's almost like that film touched me on a deep spiritual level. Brilliant acting by Michael Clarke Duncan. "Da mihi castitatem et continentam, sed noli modo"
November 16, 200520 yr Well this is gunna sound really lame but Armageddon is probably the saddest film Ive seen :? Ive seen about 1/3 of 'The Pianist' which was more shocking than depressing. I prefer up-lifting films than depressing ones :wink: And no lol why do you always want to get stuff from John Lewis. Its over ̣̉300 more then than what i paid. John Lewis is a great, great shop.
November 18, 200520 yr Among those already listed... Schindler's List (Ending got to me) Life is Beautiful (the ending was a shocker *cries*) and Cast Away (I cried the first time during the Wilson-floating-away scene...) :cry: The Enrichment Center reminds you that the weighted companion cube will never threaten to stab you and, in fact, cannot speak.

November 18, 200520 yr and Cast Away (I cried the first time during the Wilson-floating-away scene...) :cry: That was the football... right?
November 18, 200520 yr and Cast Away (I cried the first time during the Wilson-floating-away scene...) :cry: That was the football... right? Yea, I cried when he threw wilson out of the cave and on the part when he floated away...

November 19, 200520 yr and Cast Away (I cried the first time during the Wilson-floating-away scene...) :cry: That was the football... right? Yea, I cried when he threw wilson out of the cave and on the part when he floated away... Is it wrong i felt more attached to that football than Tom Hanks? :cry: EDIT: Wilson was a volleyball! I forgot! :shock: "Da mihi castitatem et continentam, sed noli modo"
