Depressing Movies

American Beauty
2LDK
The Straight Story
Moonlight Mile
any movie made by Solondz, Fassbinder or Von Trier
The Story of Ricky

I love the scene where the dying guy, who has just had his belly sliced open by Ricky strangles Ricky with his intestines…while they're still attached. That takes real guts!
Brilliant film-making is never depressing.

However anything by Lars Von Trier is just pleh.. shocker that.
House of Sand and Fog. A girlfriend forced me to rent this and I thought it would be the most boring movie. Holy sweet Christ, it was so friggin depressing.
The Omega Man
I Am Legend
The Flower That Drank The Moon.

I beg to differ. American Beauty was ridiculous. How does a non-menacing teen get access to all of that dope? Did he talk video tech with the smugglers?
Biggest dope dealers I have met were very non-menacing. One was a pound plus guy.
breaking the waves.

though that could also qualify as the world's most fucked up movie.
one of those movies where i could not see what was so great about it. i thought it was ordinary.

If you didn't think American Beauty was one of the best films ever, you weren't paying attention to it. The character development is unlike any other…ever.
