Sad endings

by hellgoat • 24 Sep 2007, 14:37 • Journals
Hey guyz! Me and some mates are having a marathon soon and I suggested we'd use the theme "I don't want to live anymore". Basically, we want movies that are extremely depressing and sad. Preferably with sad endings as the whole effect is pretty nullified otherwise.

It's actually not as easy as it sounds. So far I've come up with some suggestions;

* Requiem for a Dream
* A Clockword Orange
* Babel
* The Seventh Sail (not very depressing per say, but it doesn't really cheer you up)

So, help is greatly appriciated.

I cant remember how Hotel Rwanda ended but it was overall pretty depressing.

Jägarna is 100% perfect for this.

Lost in Translation? Maybe, dunno. :/

Memento is one to watch.

La Vita è bella?

Shit cant remember the ending on this one either but Dead Man Walking?

Edward Scissorhands?

The Life of David Gale?

la vita e bella is sad :(
Parent
▼
hellgoat 24 Sep 2007, 15:57
Mhm, was thinking Hotel Rwanda too...

Jägarna? :p it's trash man

And Lost in Translation is more sad than depressing.

La Vita é Bella is sad yes, but it's also very happy at the same time. I mean I don't think the kid cries once.

There's a movie about an irish family that migrates to USA that's incredibly depressing. A child dies like every 20 minutes. Know the name? :>

Lots of good suggestions but I want something -really- heavy. The kind of movies that makes you wish you were never born. That makes you lose faith in life.

- Life Is Beautiful (funny at the beginning, but the end is sad ;( )
- Donnie Darko
- Seul contre tous (swedish title: Ensam mot alla - it's probably not really sad, but very disturbing. And maybe look for "Irreversibel", it's from the same guy)
- Monsters Ball (haven't seen it yet)
- Bambi (LoL!!!!!11)

Leaving Las Vegas is a very depressing movie in my eyes.

And A Perfect World has a very sad ending.

You should consider watching 21 grams if you don't mind watching movies from a director who is already in your list (babel). It has pretty sad ending and it's top movie in general.

Mate, Léon is so full of hope it's ridicolous. Apart from that you only brought 2 new movies to the board.

Overall a failure. You're a failure max!
