The Road is by far the most depressing film I have ever seen although, it is at the same time hopeful. The scenario of that film has to be one of the most grim, bleak situations imaginable while still seeming realistic. It spoke to me as a parent as well. I found that the themes of the movie are applicable to today's world. You should watch if you haven't, Jagar, but prepare to be depressed for a week after. Also, the book goes into even more brutal detail.

That was a good film, expected it to be a bit of a I am Legend knockoff and was pleasently (sort of) surprised.

When film makers try to force emotions of sadness upon me I just get pissed and lose any relation I had to the movie(s).
Eg.:

Director: Now a child is dying. This is a sad event. Cry you mindless sheep (the audience)!
Child: Now I am sad and crying. Now I will cry "Daddy!"/"Mommy!" or some sugar-coated crap like that to further abuse your emotions, while apparently 'sad music' plays in the background.
Audience: "Noo! This is sad."
> Tears drip from (way too easily impressed) audience
Me: WTF is this crap? It svcks.

There is a difference between say, Saving Private Ryan and Old Yeller.

I'm pretty sure he didn't die in Ronin.

.... Also, anytime an animal character dies. Like Sam from I Am Legend.

That reminded my of a very very sad moment for me. In "Gone with the Wind" Scarlett O'Hara rides a horse to death in trying to get home (to see the aftermath of Sherman). I felt so sorry for that horse.

Hint:

Spoiler

One has Matt Damon and a plane dropping a bomb on a tank in it, and one is overrated

I agree that particular scene in Pet Semetary is absolutely horrible to watch.

The entirety of Shutter Island, but especially the ending. Also, Grave of the Fireflies is horribly depressing.

The Golden Compass was the most depressing movie.

I thought it was going to be good :ermm:

Neither do I.

When gnr did it it was edgy.

There is a thin line between cynicism and Johnny Rotten.

Dogville as a whole, but especially the ending (and specifically because the story made me feel it was all justified), was very depressing -- in a good way, though. One of the best movies I've seen.

Shameless (US) is depressing.

» Fri Aug 03, 2012 12:29 pm

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfmkRi_tr9c from The Dark Knight is highly depressing because it's so bleak yet so perfect in its observation of a developed society.

Oh yes we are an abomination and must be purged. Please! Tell us what we can and can't enjoy!

Shutter island has to be the most interesting movie that I have ever watched. It really makes you question reality, which I loved.

The most depressing part of any movie for me has to have been the Pokemon movie where ash gets turned to stone. that was the one movie I cried in... then again, I was 8 years old at the time.

The brony's right: no flaming or there will be PUNISHMENT (and not the good kind).

On topic: pick your scene from Watership Down.

Alright, alright, it was a joke, I'll delete it now. Didn't know you guys would take that seriously...

Yeah... When you have "Anti-Brony and proud of it!" I have a hard time believing it was a joke.
