Has got to be Requiem for a Dream. Every time I watch this movie it makes me want to die.
Then don't watch it.DeadWolfe said:Every time I watch this movie it makes me want to die.

I have not seen that one. My most disturbing movie was "Eraserhead" by David Lynch. Please do not see that one if you are under the influence of drugs or alcohol, or if you are feeling helpless, downhearted, or in a state of malaise. There are some terribly disturbing movies out there, but if you can buy into the "normalcy" of the setting of Eraserhead, you're in for a ride. It was Lynch's first feature, shot in B&W with lots of night scenes and dimly-lit sets. It ain't no "Blue Velvet" or "Dune", but Lynch seems to be able to re-invent himself as a director as the project requires.AKG said:The most disturbing movie you'll ever watch: Irréversible.
All of Lynch's movies are disturbing. I also hate them all - especially Lost Highway.turbo-1 said:I have not seen that one. My most disturbing movie was "Eraserhead" by David Lynch.

That movie is why one of my arms is shorter than the other.DaveC426913 said:For depressing in a "Gnaw your leg off to escape" way, the original "Wings of Desire".
Chi Meson said:The movie put me off Nick Cave after that.
I don't know about depressing, but it's not exactly feel-good, now is it? I wonder how many people have seen it?daveb said:Most depressing movie ever? "Closetland".
Who is Nick Cave and what does he have to do with Wings of Desire? We're talking the German film, right?Chi Meson said:That movie is why one of my arms is shorter than the other.
I watched just because Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds had a cameo. The movie put me off Nick Cave after that.

Glad you find the holocaust "boring"radou said:WW2 nazi themes are incredibly boring, but it's a matter of taste I guess.
Oh yes, and I'd like to add The Thin Red Line.

Its actually a movie with a purpose, unlike most of the drivel that comes out of Hollywood these days.
Anttech said:The Thin Red Line is a good movie so you are forgiven..
No that doesn't make sense. The holocaust is an event, which could be deemed to be a boring (not interesting) event. You didnt say it, but pointing towards something and going "boring", is 9/10 the law so to speak, perhaps I misunderstood you.The holocaust itself isn't something that can be boring or not, so what you said doesn't make any sense, and I didn't say such a thing at all.
History can also be boring, but this thread is about depressing films. What happened to the characters in the Schindlers list (based on true events) Is very depressing. So your opinion of the film about this historical event is rather crude. It would probably be better if you were to say, you find the way the holocaust was depicted in that particular movie boring, but not the gender and thus indirectly the event, because that my friend wouldn't be a "clever" thing to say.It's only my opinion that holocaust related movies are boring.
