A lot of good (or depressing) mentions in this thread.

I'd like to mention Pan's Labyrinth too, man, that ending..

Logan (2017) too, even though I have it on digital, dvd/b-r, I don't think I can stomach it even once in a while.

Requiem for a Dream

It?s not really bearable to watch twice.

Be honest, it was the Fantastic 4 film.

Kate Mara had nice ****, I like Miles Teller, Toby Kebell and Jaime Bell, MB Jordan gave me Chronicle flashbacks and it reminded me of a low budget Ultimate F4 so, all in al- Yeah it was crap. But it wasn't depressing. And I still think there's a good movie hidden somewhere in there. The ones I listed are pretty much misery porn. I can do goreporn like "The House Jack Built", and I can do Melancholy, but I'm never watching Melancholia again. However, I'd say that Synecdoche New York is a pretty good wake-up call. As is his latest film, "I'm Thinking Of Ending Things". Though that's more fatalistic.

The answer to it all however, is to just get D R U K

WHAT A LIFE

Munich

Hamlet is always a bummer, tho I often wanna slap Hamlet tho. Like, pull yourself together, man.

The Seventh Sign. WTF.

Probably others I can't think of....usually any film where everyone just dies.

Good Shepherd because IMO was so tortuously boring I was depressed later that I sat through it.

Blade Runner & The Crow

I'll add Alien3 to these.

 

[BeefEaster]

Requiem for a dream is the first thing that pops in to my head.

The first time I saw it I had to watch a couple hours of looney tunes afterwards just to get it outta my head.

 

[hellgrammite00]

Requiem for a dream is up there.

But the real winner is On the Beach. What happens to the countries that survive nuclear Armageddon.

The Last Jedi is easily the most depressing movie I have ever seen.

With you there...

Other than that, the two I wish I could erase from memory would be Salo and Irreversible. Both lauded at release as being artist masterpieces, and at that point in my life I went to see anything and everything to soak it all up, but in retrospect...

 

[a-dev]

Sounds like Irreversible really lives up to its name.

Haunting of Julia AKA Full Circle
Don't Look Now
Rosemary's Baby
Carrie
The Day After(80's nuclear war movie)

Parasite (2019) also, such a bleak ending; once the midpoint of the film hits, it goes into spirals.

Australia makes the bleakest of bleak ****:

- Wake in Fright
- Picnic at Hanging Rock
- Bad Boy Bubby
- Somersault
- Romper Stomper
- Metal Skin
- Black Rock
- The Boys
- Soft Fruit
- Little Fish
- The Proposition
- Wolf Creek
- Candy
- Snowtown

...it's an endless list. Quirky comedy and Bleak AF are Austalian film's two staple genres.

Hrm, as an Aussie I didn't even think of these. Which is simultaneously an indication of my sectional tastes and Aussie cinema's profile problem.

Not a movie movie, but I just watched a short Netflix docuseries called “Don’t **** with cats”
Some people are really sick.

I've seen many deeply depressing films, but right now "Dancer in the Dark" comes to mind.

Bjork is a Woman losing her vision who works countless hours to pay for a surgery for her son so he won't suffer the same fate as her. Her Landlord, who happens to be a police officer, steals her money. She confronts him, he gets violent and she defends herself resulting in the police officer dying, She goes to death row.

Oh, and it's a musical.

Let me in was also very depressing and let the right one in. Also the boy in the striped pajamas

 

[Otomofan]

Yeah "Dancer in the Dark" was the first one that came to my mind, immediately. I loathed it. It was a soul crushing experience and I'll never subject myself to it again.

Manchester by the Sea was pretty damn hard to get through, too.

The other one I said was "In the Bedroom" which is very very depressing but also an amazing movie that I've watched several times. It's the only one I recommend. Don't watch Dancer in the Dark...there's nothing good about it.
