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.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Prime, and the Breakfast Club.
vanilla sky, or the original avare los ojos
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!
tee hee disney is the devil
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
Requiem For A Dream
Eternal Sunshine
Lost In Translation
Last Life In The Universe
Garden State is a beautiful movie. It's not depressing at all. It's nice.
Donnie Darko, however...
Passion of the Christ was pretty sad. I cried during the ending.
Plus End of Evangelion and Donnie Darko.Quote:

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...Quote:

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.Quote:

The anime X is pretty good for getting depressed, and mint chocolate chip ice cream goes really well with it.
I forgot about that one.Quote:

When I said that topic I thought you were some kind of emo....
Anyways, A.I
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.
Pay it Forward always manages to depress me. Good movie, but very sad.
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.
That movie was funny. I loved it.Quote:

Pink Floyd's The Wall.
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.
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.
Hilary & Jackie
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.
Gothica was a horrible movie.
(SPOILER)They let her out of jail because the guy she brutally murdered happened to be a murderer himself; stupid!
I liked the feeling of the movie though. I thought that it was unique and had an interesting feeling to it.Quote:

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...
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. ^_^
The Ring, Dark Water or White Noise.
