The most miserable films you've ever seen?

[HellKitty]

Where it finishes and you're more depressed than you were to start with.

Mine:
Stalingrado (Stalingrad) About Nazi's during (yup!) the battle of Stalingrad. In Russian. It is over 2 hours of depression.

All is lost.
Robert Redford at sea. Oh dear. For his face and the film.

The Grey.
Liam Neeson mumbles his way though misery.

Into the wild. Sniff

Boys Don't Cry, with Hilary Swank. Unfortunately based on a true story. You can see the horrendous ending coming a mile off.

Also Brokeback Mountain, although gorgeously shot with two divine actors the themes about homophobia, unfulfilled love, a life half-lived within such binding restraints, etc just made me despair. I had to resort to fanfiction to find alternative endings where it was all happy-ever-after instead

In America

So much loss and sadness . Also one of the best movies I've seen.

But never again.

The sick dying brother. The sick mum. Then Mateo dies.

Can't even remember how it ends!

That film really got to me.

Traffic - walked out
An English Patient - lost the will to live
Lost in Translation - WTF

Just watched Cosmopolis. Good film, not a laff fest.

Detachment, starring Adrien Brody. I abandoned it at the point where it was obvious a cat was going to get tortured.

Most miserable film I've ever seen a bit of.

Hahaaaa, I've just realised this is an old thread, and I nominated the same film. At least I'm consistent .

And another Harry Brown, good god it was grim.

Cake with Jennifer Anniston I couldn't get to the end.

Norwegian Wood. It sounds like a porn film. It isn't.

Agree with Slumdog Millionaire, not feel good at all.

Tyrannosaur too but it was very good so made up for it and Detachment.

Winters Bone
NEDs
Blue Valentine
Before I go to sleep

12 years a slave

Just saw 'Amy". Incredibly sad and moving.

Never let me go.

Good god.

Harry Brown stayed with me for far too long. Even the opening scene!

Atonement was awful too.

Not RTFT, but "Young Adam". Put me right off canalboats, I can tell you.

Threads.

Only skimmed the thread but didn't see:

No Country for Old Men

Memento

Looking for Mr Goodbar

Anyone else agree with these?

I like bleak and depressing films. Hate rom cons and happy endings.
I will go and seek some suggestions out...

Brokeback mountain.

Could have stayed at home and fed ourselves bit by bit into the shredder for the same effect.

See I loved Brokeback Mountain
Seen it about five times

Seven Years a Slave. Horrific. Both myself and my Dad were sobbing by the end and we don't usually cry at films.

Oops, 12 Years a Slave. That makes it even worse.

Into the Wild. Even worse, it's based on true events.
A.I. Artificial Intelligence. I really felt aggrieved afterwards that my emotions had been put through the wringer for hours! by Steven Spielberg.
