The Grapes of Wrath.
“If you're in trouble or hurt or need–go to poor people. They're the only ones that'll help–the only ones. Then it don' matter.”

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

It’s a play.

American History X - not sure I found it depressing as such, just upsetting.

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

I bought The Grey and watched it with my then wife who absolutely hated it for its ‘shite ending’. I read recently though that at the end of the credits there’s a scene where the wolf Liam Neeson fights is lying dead, so maybe it is actually a happy ending?

The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas.

No Country For Old Men.

Eraserhead depressed and horrified me first time watching when I was about 13. I've seen it since and it still has the same effect. Good though.

I watched that when I was 15, quite possibly never really understanding it fully, been meaning to watch it as an adult to see if it was worth it, I remember a train station scene was quite sad and the flat and endless screaming from a 'baby' want to say there was a lot of ticking going on but it was at least 35+ years ago lol

Only saw it once 20 years ago but Requiem for a dream I remember being depressing

I just watched that a month ago, it was sad and depressing.
