Looking for Mr. Goodbar
Agreed, it's a very good movie. I actually like the movie, but it is not a very happy movie.

here's my partial list of most depressing movies (i know there's more but these are the ones that pop out just now):
Papillion, Midnight Cowboy, Lenny, anything where Dustin Hoffman plays sad and pathetic characters who eventually die...
Saving Private Ryan...what a lousy "payoff" the last line of the movie is, especially considering the horrendous first scene...
Sunset Boulevard, Citizen Kane, and Streetcar Named Desire (all great but depressing nonetheless)
Sophie's Choice, Plenty, French Lieutenant's Woman, Silkwood...Streep habitually goes for THE MOST depressing scripts, doesn't she?! (and i just HATED watching her die in One True Thing)
and speaking of seriously dePRESSing...House of Mirth...nobody wants to watch Scully go through ANY of this!! arg.
Dangerous Liasons...arg...Michell Pfieffer and John Malkovich!
and yeah, Taraswizard, Looking For Mr. Goodbar is DEFINITELY up there on the list of most depressing movies!!
altho they are usually good movies and visually beautiful to look at, Terrence Malik ususally makes slow-paced, depressing movies...Thin Red Line, Days of Heaven, and Badlands
Kiss of the Spider Woman. Elephant Man. nuff said there.
phew...better stop there, i'm getting depressed thinking about it!

have you ever tried explaining yourself
to one of them?

i've had this with actors before, on the set,
where they get upset about the [size of my]
trailer, and i'm always like...take my trailer,
cause... i'm from Kentucky
and that's not what we brag about.

Brokeback Mountain. I don't cry over movies - I don't! Almost broke down over this one, though.

Sounds interesting ALE. My mother's most depressing movie is 9 and 1/2 Weeks 
I know quite shocking, isn't it? Mickey Rourke's last line in the movie (about his mother) totally weirds her out! 
(I find this hilarious! And no I've never watched it with her, if you were worried about that... )
