The most depressing film..

[Brightwell’s left peg]

threads is quite grim

Was going to post Threads. It’s the film that makes you want to make sure you’re incinerated within the initial fireball when the bombs go off.

I’ll nominate “The Platform” with the caveat that it might have had a wonderful, uplifting ending as I couldn’t stomach more than half an hour of it. Actually, “most disturbing” might be a better description… (shudders)

Also came here to say Threads.

I think most films that are depressing are either melancholy or they have some kind of underlying emotional message.

Threads is just utterly fucking bleak. It really is the only word for it.

It starts off in 1980s Sheffield and somehow that is the fucking high point.

One flew over the cuckoo's nest, fuck that film!!

What? It has one of the most shout out loud upbeat endings ever.

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

Was going to say Requiem and Irreversible.

Always found Forrest Gump a bit depressing. Spoiler just on the off chance that somebodys not seen it, Bubba dies, his mum dies, Jenny dies, Lt Dan looses his legs, and he ends up bringing his son up alone.

Eraserhead. My god depressing.. I saw it like 30 years ago and it's still stuck in my head.

The Road

Yes, this was achingly depressing.
