The other night I watched "The Machinist" on Netflix. Prior to watching it I read some reviews on IMDB and some people called it a very depressing movie. I did not find it to be such but it got me thinking about the unequivocally most depressing movie I have ever seen, which was "The Road" with Viggo Mortensen. Don't know how many have seen this but I would advise staying away from pills or guns for at least 48 hrs after watching it.
What's the most depressing movie you've ever seen? |

I thought the movie was good, but the book was excellent. Even darker than the movie. |

| Does it count if I just felt depressed that I wasted 2 hours of my life watching it? |

I've seen Pi, I found it more mindbending then depressing but I can see where you're coming from. |

I've never been more depressed with a movie than I was when "Heidi" interrupted the final minute of the Jets/Raiders football game in 1968.
The Oakland Raiders score two touchdowns in nine seconds to beat the New York Jets--and no one saw it, because with just 65 seconds left to play, NBC switched off the game in favor of its previously scheduled programming, a made-for-TV version of the children̢۪s story.
Talk about depressing...

They Shoot Horses Don't They?
The Book Thief
(and if it's true the book, I predict for the movie to be released this year) The Light Between Oceans |

I was a train a few years ago, sat reading 'The Road'. A complete stranger came and sat opposite me and said "That's the most depressing book I have ever read!". Yes, it is a dark and gloomy book but the setting and story does not lend it to be anything else. I enjoyed the book, the film less.

I agree about The Road. Recent one that comes to mind is Prisoners.
I've seen reviews about Moon with Sam Rockwell being terribly depressing, but I thought it was a true SF classic, fantastic movie. |

prisoners was emotional, but had hope at the end when Jake hears the whistle.
The road, depressing, for sure.
Check out " 'night mother." trailer
A philosophy professor made us watch this. Unforgivable. |

| I wonder if people picking other movies have actually seen 'dancer in the dark'. the movie itself is a tragedy. |

I still have nightmares about The English Patient.
Its the only movie I have seen where I couldn't side with any of the characters. |

I just read the plot summary. That sounds like an incredibly sad movie. |
