The book is stellar, but the Gary Sinise/John Malkovich film is a great adaptation.

Requiem For A Dream, bar none. So depressing I have no real urge to watch it again. It also didn't help that I was drunk at the time and at a particularly low point in life myself. Nothing nearly as extreme as the characters in the movie, thankfully, but not exactly a happy time either.

Fiddler On The Roof depressed the hell out of me. At the time, my father was vehemently opposed to my relationship with my boyfriend (and later, first husband) and at times I felt like I was having to make a choice.

Titicut Follies - And old documentary filmed at the Bridgewater hosiptal for the criminally insane. Saw it at an underground film festival sophomore year in college. Warning: If you can get a copy of it be prepared...This may be the most disturbing set of images ever put on film.
War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself. John Stuart Mill
Tom Browning's 'Freaks', made in 1932. Probably the most disturbing movie ever made; to call it 'depressing' is an understatement.

I was depressed for over a month after watching Saving Private Ryan--it was the very beginning scene with all those young men screaming for their mothers as they were blown to pieces.

is a LIE.
It isn't sweet. It is horrible. Though sometimes necessary.

Have you seen Band of Brothers? Amazing mini-series; I personally thought it way better than Private Ryan (still love that movie, though).ChoChiyo wrote:I was depressed for over a month after watching Saving Private Ryan--it was the very beginning scene with all those young men screaming for their mothers as they were blown to pieces.

I think you are missing the point; Wilfred Owen was being ironic. Check the poem.ChoChiyo wrote:Dulce et decorum est Pro patria mori.

English major here. I know he was being Ironic. I was quoting him. He called it "the old lie."And how are you, my dear Loremaster? It seems an age since last I saw you...

No need to be sorry--it was my fault for assuming that everyone would know that I was quoting Owens.
We English majors are a pretty presumptuous bunch.
hehehehe

Most depressing movie
Looking for Mr. Goodbar. Staring Diane Keaton and Richard Gere. Story of a young women teacher of deaf students and her search for love in all the wrong places. It would surprise me if anyone at the Watch has even heard of this movie.
That's an excellent movie.
