i'm going to eat a bunch of ice cream, watch _____ and cry alone in the dark.

[Jowy]

Everyone's got their own little 'i'm going to make myself MORE depressed" movies. I'm partial to Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Garden State myself.

[Moon Rabbits]

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Prime, and the Breakfast Club.

[Araciel]

vanilla sky, or the original avare los ojos

[feona17]

Snow White, for sure. :D Yes, I am 17 but hey, I loved it as a kid and I can still watch it now and get all happy and depressed, but happy again at the end!

[Araciel]

tee hee disney is the devil

[Madame Adequate]

In honesty I can't think of any movie I watch to make me more depressed. Movies in fact help me feel better, at least while they're on, because I can lose myself in them.

That said, I imagine one of those brutal movies like Audition or Battle Royale would succeed most at depressing me further.

[Xander]

I love eternal sunshine and garden state, but yeah if I was depressed I'd rather watch scrubs or red dwarf and cheer up :D Definately to the icecream though.

[Eureka]

wtf are these movies you speak of lol

i just watch advent children.. if i wanna get depressed.. the snowman XD that's so sad.. or like.. erm the neverending story.. such a misleading title

[Griff]

It is not possible for me to fill in the blank of this thread title because ice cream always cheers me up.

Breakfast club does depress me sometimes though.

[Vincent, Thunder God]

Well, I never intentionally try to depress myself with movies, but one that I find really terrible to watch is "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest." A while back I did this huge off-topic rant about it in another thread. I literally cried at the end of it.

[Germ Hamee]

Oh, I like this topic. This is something I find myself doing rather often, only because it helps/inspires me to use my depression for creative purposes.

The Hours, Requiem for a Dream, and The End of Evangelion are my most frequently watched movies during "woe is me" periods.

[GooeyToast]

Requiem For A Dream
Eternal Sunshine
Lost In Translation
Last Life In The Universe

[Roto13]

Garden State is a beautiful movie. It's not depressing at all. It's nice.

Donnie Darko, however...

[Shiny]

Passion of the Christ was pretty sad. I cried during the ending.

[LunarWeaver]

Requiem For A Dream
Eternal Sunshine
Lost In Translation


Plus End of Evangelion and Donnie Darko.

[kikimm]

I always get the urge to watch Sleeping Beauty, or Beauty and the Beast, or Pocahontas when I'm in that sort of a mood. Those kinda Disney movies. But I never actually do. Hmm!

[feona17]

Garden State is a beautiful movie. It's not depressing at all. It's nice.

Donnie Darko, however...

HAH! I remember watching Donnie Darko for the first time, must've been at 2 am. I was freaking out because of it. Maybe because it was pitch dark and there were strange noises outside...

[Twisted Tinkerbell]

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
May (don't ask why, I have no idea)

[Roto13]

It needs to be experienced with surround sound. Whenever Donnie hears Frank in his head, it's like you can hear it in your head too. It disturbed me.

[I Took the Red Pill]

The Green Mile.

[MecaKane]

Everyone's got their own little 'i'm going to make myself MORE depressed" movies.

No they don't. I dislike being depressed, myself.

[Odaisé Gaelach]

Lots of Hagen-Das and the last episode (11PM-12AM) of Season 1 of 24.

After everything that he had been through, after hearing that Kim had drowned, storming the Drazen's stronghold and killing Victor, only to return to CTU and find that Nina Myers had shot his wife Teri through her pregnant guts, and he holds her body in his arms, and the invunerable Jack Bauer starts to cry himself...

[Chibi Youkai]

The anime X is pretty good for getting depressed, and mint chocolate chip ice cream goes really well with it.

[Moon Rabbits]

Requiem For A Dream


I forgot about that one.


Welcome to the Dollhouse is also pretty sad.

[Shiny]

The Green Mile.
Oh, yes that movie was a huge tear jerker.

[Resha]

I'd watch The Sound of Music. Which isn't sad, but so lovely I'd forget about my depression. :D

[Vaincast]

When I said that topic I thought you were some kind of emo....

Anyways, A.I

[bipper]

The Big Lebouski. What a deep movie. If I had to get a good emotional flick I watch " What dreams May come" What a damn fine movie.

[Chibi Youkai]

Pay it Forward always manages to depress me. Good movie, but very sad.

[Doomie]

The House DVDs. Also Remember the Titans. When they do the "Left Side! Strong Side!", I get so happy.

EDIT: Oh, MORE depressed. The Green Mile.

[Sylvie]

The Green Mile.

That movie was funny. I loved it.

[daggertrepe]

Hey I watched those two movies both in the same night, one right after the other. I felt weird the next day. :rolleyes2

[Fuego]

tee hee disney is the devil
Oh hell yea ! Not one movie i have seen that a character doesn't die ! LOL i haven't seen all the newer ones ... like from 2003 or so on >.<
***EDIT*** Song of the south is my favorite !

Word Up !

Passion of the Christ was pretty sad. I cried during the ending. I almost puked in the theater ... it was like watching a snuff film (maybe gross but not sad) :nibbles:



May (don't ask why, I have no idea)I love May ! Great Movie and I love Angela Bettis !!!!



Requiem For A Dream


I forgot about that one.


Welcome to the Dollhouse is also pretty sad.I love how the main girl Heather Matarazzo (i think is her name) she was in Strangers with Candy and Saved (among others)! (and she is doing Hostel II !!!!)

[Sephex]

Pink Floyd's The Wall.

[Zeromus_X]

The Green Mile* and Forrest Gump; although the second was mostly lighthearted, it still had plenty of sad parts.

*Mr. Jingles ;_;

In the book, I think...eh, it's been awhile.

[Avarice-ness]

Normally I either watch Moulin Rouge, Phantom of the Opera, or Armagedon with the whole "GOD *shovels ice cream* LIFE SUCKS YOU KNOW THAT" I cry everytime bruce willis dies. =[
The movie brings me up to happy and laughing and then KAPLOOM right into oblivious saddness. <3.

[Hambone]

Hilary & Jackie

[lovehurts]

What makes me sad and gets to me..?
HMMMMMM

Wind talkers gets to me.
Million Dollar baby
Ladder 49
Back Draft
Edward scissor hands
Star trek wrath of khan and nemisis
Star wars return of the jedi
Rocky one
K-19 the widow maker
Rambo one
The passon of Christ (however it is spelled)
Dont say a word
Gothika, I think it's called...

Anways alot of movies sure that theres alot more on that list but this is all I recall as of now.

[MecaKane]

Gothica was a horrible movie.
They let her out of jail because the guy she brutally murdered happened to be a murderer himself; stupid!

[lovehurts]

I liked the feeling of the movie though. I thought that it was unique and had an interesting feeling to it.

[Araciel]

are people missing the point of this thread and just putting movies that make them cry?

sweet november...that is depressing...



















keanu reeves in love *WRETCH*

[enid]

Dancer in the Dark

[Araciel]

I liked the feeling of the movie though. I thought that it was unique and had an interesting feeling to it.

agreed yes it was but i would have liked it a lot more if it was a totally different movie with the same 'why am i in the mental hospital i worked at' theme

[Rostum]

Sideways is a pretty depressing (yet great, I find) movie I'd watch. Garden State also.

[salvaje]

Two Weeks' Notice, The League of Extraordinary Gentleman, Gone in 60 Seconds, The Fast and the Furious 2, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Corpse Bride, Speed, and when the Lake House comes out on Tuesday, I'll add that to my montage of Sandra Bullock movies...

[Kain Strife]

Forrest Gump - It can make me depressed, make me laugh and mostly just make me forget about whatever's going on in my real world. I become totally absorbed in it.

I'm usually more partial to angry, "F THE WORLD, DIE! DIE! DIE!" type movies when i'm depressed, though. ^_^

[Jsb01]

The Ring, Dark Water or White Noise.
