I agree, The Pianist is the most depressing movie ever.

You actually are all wrong. The most depressing movie of all time is "About Shmidt."

Requiem for a Dream
is THE most depressing dream EVER.

My vote is for Requiem for a Dream. That movie is whackadoodle! Oldboy is a close second.

Seriously? Nobody's mentioned the Star Wars prequels yet?

I Agree. lol, very depressing.

I can't believe someone said "About Schmidt" was depressing..... I love that movie... I laugh out loud at that movie so much... the person who found it depressing obviously didn't get the dark comedy aspect of it.

I like some dark/sad movies but I had to turn off Requiem for a Dream, then mistakenly turned the end on with Jennifer Connolly (WTH was that!) Girl, Interrupted, 80s movie with James Woods (Bounce maybe?) Requiem is in a nightmare category all its own.

Oh wow, late response.

Nah, I was being sarcastic. It's hard to convey sarcasm without the right inflexions and facial expressions.

Try Grave of the Fireflies on for size.

You think this is the most depressing movie ever?
Wow, you really need to watch more films.

I was not even close to shedding a tear during that film. I don't think I can decide for a live-action film, but the saddest animated film I have seen is End of Evangelion.

this isn't that depressing, if it were it would've been nominated for an oscar. the only person we'd be feeling sad for in this movie is igby. but though he get's a lot of crap thrown at him, he brings most of it onto himself. so we can't feel that sad for him.

21 grams is very depressing also.

Odd.. I found Igby Goes Down to be uplifting. In a very strange way of course. Is that weird?

Agreed, Opalura.

I don't think that was very depressing...neither was Igby Goes Down.

For me, Lonesome Jim was most likely the most depressing film I've seen. Usually, I like those movies, but that was simply too much!

Another vote for Requiem for a Dream.

[–] minhal92 12 years ago

Wasn't even close.
I agree with Requiem for a Dream .. and then around a hundred others before this.
I thought Into the Wild was fairly depressing as well :'(
