American History X
Steel Magnolias. Southern classic that makes me sob every single time.
Pay It Forward. The way I sobbed nearly made me have a panic attack! 😫
Kids.
The entire movie is just fucking depressing and shocking. I also watched that entirely too young.
Oldboy (2003).
Nobody wins.
Uncut Gems… Wth
Spiderman No Way Home is weirdly depressing. Peter Parker has been essentially erased as a person, his only relative is dead, all his friends no longer remember him, he now lives in a shitty room and has no way to get a decent job.
This has got to be one of the most depressing version of Spiderman, but hey, he got that Classic suit right?
Of mice and men
Bridge to terabithia
Life Is Beautiful
Ex Machina and the original Night of the Living Dead. I mean come on!! You can’t have the main character die when they’re the good guy! So depressing
All quiet on the western front (2022)…
1917
sure he completed his mission but his friend was killed and he’s uncertain when the war will end
Cats.
If you reached the ending, you realized you wasted a few hours of your life you’re never getting back.
The Boy in the Striped Pajamas (kind of a cop-out pick though… can you really have a movie in that setting and have it end any way -other- than horribly depressing?)
Dead Poets Society
Threads
Beaches (depressingly sad; gut wrenching).
“Requiem for a Dream”. Each character’s ending has a unique blend of misery, and the soundtrack makes it even more intense.
Manchester by the sea
The Road.
Man, just fuck that film.
Grave of the fireflies.
The Green Mile
My Sisters Keeper (2009)
I cry every. single. time😥
Million Dollar Baby. I actually expected some Rocky-type sports drama, with a poor girl starting from the bottom and becoming the world champion in the end.
Well, turned out I was completely wrong.
The Mist (2007)
