Rewatched The Road for the first time since it came out and I'd forgotten just how dark it was. Type of thing you could broood about for days.

What are some o dem other depressing movies we got?

Little Odessa with the kid from Terminator 2 and Tim Roth is fantastically bleak.

Requiem for a Dream

Little Miss Sunshine isn't a bad movie tbh

That's a life affirming movie!! It's supposed to remind you to appreciate the little, silly, seemingly meaningless things in life, not ruin your week!

The End of The Mist depresses pretty good

WWAWD Happiness by Todd Solonz something. I've never seen it.

Very Jewish movie. Maybe the most Jewish thing I've ever seen.

Shrek put me into a deep blue funk for several days. As for movies I enjoy, Two Lane Blacktop, Gummo and Come and See depress preddy gud. Se7en is too silly to really bum me out, and A Zed and Two Noughts is a positive film dressed up in bleakness.

Charlie Kaufman movies are pretty depressing. I watched Adaptation and was surprised at how accurately it depicted themes of sadness, depression and loneliness.

Hilarious in a dark way I didn't brood after it.

The Father ruined my week when I watched it. Great performances but if you have any ounce of a heart it will kill you.

Stroszek. Great movie in general but is also known to be the movie Ian Curtis watched right before he killed himself

I watched a garbage movie called Ironweed last week. It has Jack Nicholson and Meryl Streep and it just stinks. The acting is solid but there is no point to it except to revel in it’s pure misery.

I hate ET and find it to be an entirely depressing, joyless movie and it’s supposed to be for kids. I’m probably alone there.

Ikiru is pretty depressing also. It has some hope to it so I can’t call it totally bleak but the story is sad and something we’ll all face ourselves or through loved ones.

The Deer Hunter is bleak. I want to take the time here to say I can’t stand the ending of it when they sing God Bless America. Way too on the nose.

I also watched a movie in a film class Olivier, Olivier and it was pretty good but bizarre and depressing as well. It’s about a family whose child goes missing and it breaks them apart until he comes back. Or does he?!?!?!

There's a Russian movie called Leviathon. It's got to be one of the most grim movies I've ever seen. It makes you feel like corruption is unstoppable, because ordinary people are just so incompetent.

"Dear Zachary"

"Dear Zachary"

That movie and it's shitty MTV editing made me feel nothing. Fuck anyone who praises that shit.

Johnny Got His Gun aka the Metallica One music video. Just sad, especially when Donald Sutherland as Jesus rejects him in his thoughts/dreams.
