>>69094738
reminds me of Les Triplettes de Belleville
>>69095718
>that song
):
Felt really terrible after watching this.
>>69095201
I always wondered if the name for the film came from the dna bases
>>69095787
made by the same guy.
>>69095865
>the fucking nail scene
What the fuck man

The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas
>>69095144
Why was there so much jap influence in bladerunner?
>>69096166
which is why it's called essential
>>69096166
Learn the difference between maudlin, saccharine and raw.
Boy in Pajams is maudlin. It's like Spielberg's Schindler's List, Polanksi's The Pianist is far better.
>>69096203
because ridley has a thing for asians?
>>69096203
In the eighties it looked like the japanese would be the leader in a ton of markets. They just kind of predicted that wouldn't stop. It makes for a cool setting.
>>69096316
I for one welcome our new asian overlords.
>>69096139
Irreversible makes my dick cry
The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford

>>69096235
no i will not.
boy in the striped pyjamas qualifies for a depressing film.
>>69096419
Maybe 4u, matey. It does nothing for me.
Not even memeimg.
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind
The fault in our stars
>>69096223
Agree with this. Underrated as hell.
I'm adding Before I Disappear to the list.
Lilya 4-ever

Children of men
La femme publique
La Jetee
Saving private ryan
Deathly Hallows Part 1
On the Silver Globe
Brazil

Solaris (2002)
>>69096433
now listen here you little shit, i'm recommending to op so unless you started this thread, i'd recommend you fuck off before i make your life a depressing film
>>69096196
I found it very disturbing. A good movie.
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
The book even moreso.
One of the earliest Goosekinos.
inside llewyn davis
>>69096790
that was more of a shock flick than something that's meant to feel depressed
>>69096786
well what is it?
Here is my winning list. Don't look any further.
The act of killing
The look of silence
Dancer in the dark
Germany year zero
>>69096995
Oh and ofc:
Grizzly man
Based herzog.
Might as well put the enigma of kaspar hauser.
>>69096995
mediocre at best
>>69096385
no "woman in the dunes"
or
"onibaba"
fuck off
the dark knight
>>69097031
It that's mediocre to you (especially the first three one), then I challenge you to show me the better ones.
>>69093956
is visioneers depressing? I felt good after. But I also felt good after Children of Men. If anything District 9 was more depressing.
>>69093956
Dark Horse is pretty depressing.
>>69097101
New Zealand film?
>>69095951
While that movie isn't good, I do think that and MoS suffer more by critics for being depressing. If Thor 2 can get a Fresh rating on RT when it's clearly worse than there has to be a reason for that
>>69097068
Y Tu Mamá También
>>69097113
Nah, the 2011 film.
It's not overtly depressing, but there's something insidious about that film.
>>69097155
Yeah fuck off.
Turin horse
someone compile a list in pastebin pls
>>69096139
>What is depression
because the film has a somewhat sad ending doesn't make it depressive. Shit list.
>>69097073
Children of men has a happy ending but the subject.matter reflecting the current state of things leaves it always depressing.
>>69097178
Fuck you, Her can be really depressing, but i guess it depends on a person. If it hits close to home it will be terrible.
It's a documentary, but shit, it really got to me
>>69097155
did the AIs commit suicide because they found out that there was no reason to live or that they found out the reason but that it was not worth it?
>>69097214
the saddest moment in the film, for me, was how they idolized the young to the point that people wanted them dead
All the capeshits that started filling up theaters is what's truly depressing.
Try this
>>69097322
Fuck you, i aint watching no depressing films with animals yo. I can't handle that shiiiez nigga.
>>69097392

>>69094738
>French animated film where Scottish gaelic is the most used language because of one character.
Pretty neat.
Million Dollar Baby.
This is one of only two films where it's ended and I've just stared at the screen and thought "holy shit."
The other was Man of Steel, for very different reasons.
>>69097392
it's more about that boy desu, not some bambi shit

>>69093956
Az Ember Tragediaja. Animated Hungarian film. I have never had the ending to a movie leave me feeling so empty and cold.
>>69097943
Same cinematographer also comfy af
>>69096203
Cyberpunk.
>>69093956
Blue Valentine and Dancer In The Dark ate both soul crushing.
>>69094738
Anon here who thinks Toy Story 3 is vastly overrated, and knows this movie was nominated against it and lost.
Is it a better film? Was this a case of the Academy choosing the easy nominee over the better, smaller one?
>>69098155
>that awkward moment you realize Harry fucking Potter is closer to being art than 99% of capeshit
>>69098480
100% you should rewatch them 3 and 5-8 are really well done. I prefer the darker tones
>>69098606
Chamber of secrets is also pretty good
Anyone see anomalisa? Looks like it could fit in here and Kaufman is the man
>>69093956
BvS
i thoroughly enjoyed this.
very comfy and mildly depressing.
Sid and Nancy
Depressive not depressing.
>>69098402
That's pretty much the case EVERY year.
The best animated picture category is a fucking joke.
>>69097354
This film has the best ending I've seen in a long time.
>>69096790

>"I don't see much of a contest here. Frozen is intelligent, empowering and inspiring."
>Frozen
>intelligent
>"I voted for Frozen and none of the others were even in the discussion. Honestly, if they did not have the animated category, Frozen would have easily gotten a best picture nomination. It just delivered."
This asshole literally proves that the Best Animated Feature category exists to exclude animated movies from getting a BP nomination. Wow.
Also
>implying they even saw Ernest and Celestine or The Wind Rises
>"I agree with everyone else, Frozen was a very special film."
I recall in this year's anonymous Oscar ballot a voter literally used "special" for picking Inside Out over fucking Anomolisa: "Anomolisa was unique, but Inside Out was 'special'"
Also what the fuck do they mean by 'special'? Because it is produced by Disney? Is that all it takes for one of these films to be considered "special?"
>reminder one of the voters in 2014 voted for Big Hero 6, and refered to "Song of the Sea" and "The Tale of the Princess Kaguya" "obscure freakin' Chinese fuckin' things
>>69097582
this was so fucked
>>69093956
the book is more depressing tho
Out Of The Furnace
>>69099059
Honestly, the only Best Animated Picture win in recent memory that didn't feel like total fucking bullshit was Rango (even if I personally preferred A Cat in Paris) and that was years ago.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bcPhaieTg4o
It's pretty great.
All the grand senseless monologues left me kind of empty inside.
>>69099249
Amazing what happens when there isn't a Disney-produced film nominated.
Haneke's Amour
J. Trier's Oslo, August 31st
L. Trier's Melancholia
Ceylan's Distant
Kiarostami's Taste of Cherry
>>69093956
The Water Diviner if you cut off the happy end
>ctrl+f the comedy
>no results
never let me go really hit me that time
Can't believe this didn't show up yet.
>>69097582
americans should watch more movies like this and repent for their nation-destroying ways.
>>69096166
>>69096235
All of these Holocaust movies are Sesame Street in comparison to Son of Saul 2015.
>>69099462
cos it's not that depressing
>>69099404
The movie is literally called The Comedy you pleb
>>69099501

Winter Sleep was pretty depressive tbqh.
>>69096139
>hesher
>depressioncore
It's memecore at best.
>>69093956
sex was his only connection to people, fucking lonely film
>>69096223
I cant even describe how amazing this movie was. The scenes had such a sense of ridiculous brutality to them, combined with the fact that the prog was such an unassuming character.
Truly a masterpiece.
>>69097259
They didn't commit suicide. They left.
>>69100070
and by leaving they meant that they were deleting themselves
Je tu il elle
>>69093956
Winter Light is the most depressing film I've ever seen. Amazing though
https://youtu.be/NZ6_0KlpK6I
This and Paddy Considine's directorial debut "Tyrannosaur" are both fucking devastating.
But they both have a place in my heart.
Miserable cunts that we are, britbong misery porn is never in short supply.
>>69096139
>no Eden Lake
>>69099462
That's not depressing at all you pussy
This movie depressed the shit out of me.
It's also one of the best thrillers ever made.
>>69097449
The novel is quite good. There is a lot more subtle racism.
Midnight Cowboy put me in a funk for about a week. It's just two people's shitty lives getting worse and worse without resolution.
Sometimes when I'm sad and walking around by myself "everybody's talkin" will start playing in my head.
the human condition
twenty four eyes
Synecdoche New York is probably the most depressing (and pretentious) shit ever
>>69099094
I cry from the ending scene in the field through the epilogue before the credits. Every time.

There are 2 films that really made me depressed. 1 is What Time is it There? A Taiwanese film about loneliness.
>this thread with Tom Waits playing in a background
>>69104086
2 is a Japanese film called Daremo Shiranai (Nobody Knows). A japanese film based off a true incident where a mother abandons her 4 kids in an apartment in Tokyo.
>>69093956
The Mist.
>>69096385
Fat City is the only one i've seen from this list and it was great. Thanks for the tips anon, will watch.
pls m8 watch James White....
>>69099517
ITS IRONIC LIKE THE CHARACTERS IN THE FILM
The Grey
It's like a hundred miles of bad road all the way to the ending, which is actually pretty uplifting

>>69104156
Watch the other Koreeda movies. Maybe not as depressing but equally good.
