Great film absolute classic imo

Agreed -- fantastic stuff -- but I didn't find it too depressing -- sad but hopeful at the end.

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Grave of the Fireflies, Requiem for a Dream or Irreversible.

 

[Subbed Tskhadadze with Allsopp]

Leaving Las Vegas is pretty dark.

 

[TonyM]

Dumb and Dumber, complete breakdown of the American education system.

Based on a true story too.

 

[Bournemouth Blue]

Barbie, (I haven’t seen it by the way).

 

[Whether or not]

The Grey and Apocalipto. Both unrelentingly violent and brutal, with the polar opposite of happy endings.

'Cathy Come Home' is as desperate and depressing a film as I've ever seen.
