buckeyemike Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 I agree with "Life is Beautiful". I had tears welling up in my eyes at the end. Another depressing one is "Untamed Heart", with Christian Slater and Marisa Tomei. I also thought "The Perfect Storm" was pretty depressing at the end. My wife kept asking me, "They live, don't they?". Until the last five minutes. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike 686443[/snapback] I made the mistake of seeing 'Perfect Storm' with a really hot girl who, for whatever reason, was as interested in me as I was her Anyway, we watched like the first half hour, but after that I have no idea what was going on in the movie. I'd look up every once in a while and there would be Mark Wahlberg floating away or something......pretty surreal, actually. But I did happen to watch it a year later or so and was pretty moved by it. Definitely a solid flick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scraps Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 I'm a bit surprised this hasn't been mentioned yet but the original Brian's Song is depressing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Vader Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 Requim for a Dream is devastating. They should show that at every high school in the country- drug usage would plummet. Drugstore Cowboy. Trainspotting. Butterfly Effect. Mystic River. The Champ. The Deerhunter. Being John Malkovich. 686288[/snapback] I have never seen Requiem for a Dream, and most people tell me that Ellen Burstyn should have won the Oscar that year, but Julia Roberts was due, I guess. You really think Being John Malkovich is depressing? That movie did not strike me as a downer. One movie I just remembered and no one has mentioned yet is "Boys Don't Cry". Very sad movie.

Very sad movie. 686463[/snapback] Ellen Burstyn absolutely should of won an oscar for that. Man did she play a great junkie. As for Being John Malkovich- I should say one of the more disturbing films I have ever seen. That last scene where Cusack was trapped in the sons body leering at his mother- creepy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That movie is definitely a weird one, but a good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYGPopgun10 Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 Boyz n the Hood is a very good movie too. Some great performances by Laurence Fishburne, Ice Cube, and Cuba Gooding Jr. The part when Morris Chestnut gets gunned down and his mother sees he got a good enough score on his SAT to get a scholarship is a real tearjerker. What really makes it so sad is that it happens way to often in this country. 686393[/snapback] Solid choice. I thought Juice was depressing too. Some good acting by 2Pac and Omar Epps. Other movies I'd include: Clockwork Orange- a cult classic that's disturbing in so many ways Dead Poet's Society- solid movie with some great acting from Robin Williams; very sad ending but there was a good message in it that I liked American Beauty- If you've seen it, you know why. It's messed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LewPort71 Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 If you think that Clockwork Orange was a strange movie...Go read the book...Holy Cow...
