Looking for a movie that just drains you and makes you feel miserable after watching it. Something along the lines of... something tragic happens at the beginning and it's never happy from there on out.

No, but I know what you're talking about. Can't remember the name. This one is Bruce Willis and Monica "McTits" Belucci. Most people will find it depressing because she is merely on screen, few will realize what is really depressing about it.

Nah man, I'm perfectly fine. Sometimes, I just get in the mood for depressing movies, but the only one that really comes to mind is Leaving Las Vegas. Most of the others mentioned in this thread, I don't find very depressing.

I do have an idea for a movie though, if Hollywood is interested. It'll be the most miserable feel-good movie of all time.

On the other hand, it introduced me to one Elizabeth Shue (see MILF thread). So in the end, I give it five stars!

The Mist.. I read this years ago was really excited about the movie. It was such a let down. It reminded me of something on SciFi. The ending was nuts though!

Candy was pretty depressing as well.

The Pursuit of Happyness.... I thought it was draining... one thing after another. The only uplifting moment was in the final minutes. By then I was so bummed I didnt care anymore. :o

Splendor in the Grass, Leaving Las Vegas, Boy's Don't Cry, The Champ, Million Dollar Baby, When Captain Miller dies in Saving Private Ryan, Shane, Where the red fern grows, Passion of the Christ, The Elephant Man, Mask, and Brian's Song.

Wonderland is a pretty depressing movie because it's based on a true story. And you can see the actual crime scene video in the bonus features on the DVD. Pretty brutal to see a house drenched in blood and it's not a special effect.

alpah dog- towards the end when the kid was pleading for his life, the other guys couldnt help him because of the nuthugger with the uzie(sp?). the begging for his life, the shovel hit over his head, and then him getting filled with bullets made me sick to my stomach. i acutally put my beer down and didnt finish it, also the fact the incident was true made it worse.
