I was just going to post that. Bjork is pretty amazing in that film.

My college roommate always cried at the end of "When Harry Met Sally" – it infuriated her as 'life never works out like that!'

- Ordinary People, because it's so true to life, all of us are screwed up inside in some way.

such a great movie, how could you wish you had never seen it, I am sure you stuck some postcards to the wall afterwards

Ahhh, but aren't all people sick and fucked up in some way? I mean, c'mon, who here hasn't drugged his son's friends in order to have sex with them at least once or twice?

I hear ya though, and I don't know why I like this movie so much. I guess it just hurts so good.

I haven't been able to bring myself to watch Happiness. After Welcome to the Dollhouse, I didn't think his movies could get any more depressing. Apparently, they did…

Neon Genesis Evangelion (yes, it's a series, but "The End of Evangelion" was released as a movie, I believe).

Scratch my previous one. The Sweet Hereafter. Any movie that starts with a busload of kids dying and has a father abusing his daughter can't leave you in a happy place. Love Sarah Polly's cover of "Courage" at the very end.

Little Odessa
The Rapture
A Time for Drunken Horses

A Time for Drunken Horses is by far the most depressing movie I have ever seen.
