<p>I'm kind of a fan of depressing :( movies. What do you guys think the top depressing movies are?</p>
<p>1.) Leaving Las Vegas
2.) House of Sand and Fog
3.) 21 Grams
4.) Mystic River</p>
<p>Oh god, Legends of the Fall! And you're definitely right about House of Sand and Fog and Mystic River.</p>
<p>Also, Requiem for a Dream is a different kind of depressing.</p>
<p>Pay it Forward...it was ridiculously sad.</p>
<p>Donnie Darko? AI?</p>
<p>I Am Sam was really sad.</p>
<p>I second "Requiem for a Dream" Also "Schindlers List" left me drained.</p>
<p>I agree with Mystic River being sad, though it's one of my faves, along with Million Dollar Baby. If MDB isn't sad, I don't know what is. :( </p>
<p>Personally, I thought Closer was sad. The characters - played by really good actors - depressed me. Not really the type of people I want to be around but a good character study still.</p>
<p>Did anyone ever watch "Homeless to Harvard ?" Thats story was really sad.</p>
<p>I thought that "Life is Beautiful" was sad...</p>
<p>The scene where Guido (Benini) is making up that German translation at the concentration camp is so classic and moving. The ending speaks for itself.</p>
<p>Nobody Knows, japanese movie about kids being abandoned by their mother. based on a true story</p>
<p>Agreed...Million Dollar Baby was sad...and so was I Am Sam. Man on Fire was depressing, too.</p>
<p>Oh damn. You're right. MOF was depressing, how it ended and all. Denzel Washington was awesome in it though.</p>
<p>Even as a fan of Meryl Streep, I could never bring myself to watch this movie again. Great movie - just too god-awful depressing.</p>
<p>requiem for a dream is mindblowing. it's almost too powerful to be depressing. but i heard 'a river runs through it' is really sad, havent seen it.</p>
<p>dcfca, "Grave of the Fireflies" is another Japanese movie about abandoned children during WWII. It was probably the saddest movie I have ever seen.</p>
<p>I agree with Sophie's Choice.</p>
<p>I second Grave of the Fireflies</p>
<p>Legends of the Fall
The Notebook</p>
<p>I haven't really seen any of the other ones you mentioned.</p>
<p>life is beautiful
also the new star wars movies :D</p>
<p>I normally don't cry during movies, no matter how emotional. but mystic river had me crying 30 minutes into it. that movie is just so depressing...one of my favorite movies though. I have seen it more than once, unlike million dollar baby. MDB is an awesome movie, but I don't think I could watch it again. brilliant, though.</p>
