That movie made me feel disgusting aftewrward...and during really.
I wouldn't call it sad, just more like I needed to take a shower afterward because of how disgusting everyones life was.

The Road, watched it once and loved it but never watched it since, now that I have a boy around the same age as the kid in the movie, I'll definitely not be watching it

There was this western movie from the mid 00s I'd say. This guy who created a time machine or something, and went back to different times of his life.
His past was depressing as fuck. He was molested as a child, and grew up to be a drug dealer or something in his teenage years. He was trying to fix his past, but in the end he couldn't (I think?).
Sounds like a fever dream, but I'm sure it was a real movie.
There was also that Japanese animated film with an actress who had her life ruined by the film industry. Google search gave me "Millennium Actress", but that doesn't look like it.
Edit: Found it. Perfect Blue - Wikipedia

I couldn't say, but i don't want to watch The Road again.
Omg lol can't believe someone beat me to it
Just brutal. Never a moment of real levity. Also you realize it’s probably going to be nothing like Mad Max or a whole host of other far more interesting treatments of post apocalyptic life lol.

Twelve monkeys, Misery, One flew over the cuckoo's nest. Can't watch those again.

The Road is brutal as hell, so is the book. Of all the post apocalyptic depictions I've seen, both Hollywood and in Novel form, The Road is the bleakest and probably most realistic.
Grave of the Fireflies is a real kick in the nuts too.

Both this book and movie are…I dunno, introspection bait? All I can think of is what I’d do in that situation and honestly I think I’d go the path of the wife.

Cormac McCarthy is a hell of an author

I expected it to be some 'middle aged guys forgetting their youth' plot but the movie just goes from bad to worse to worst. After it ended I was just staring at the screen thinking about wtf just happened.

these are good ones. squid isn't that depressing thoughHaving watched it just recently, this one comes to mind:
A really good movie that will make you feel like shit.
my personal fav:
always watch this when I am depressed... I find it terribly romantic

Laughing about the other ones but you're right.
Irreversible though, I was not prepared for that. A must watch but I won't (corrected from will) again as it was heartbreaking in the worst way imagineable but a brilliant film.

marley and me
never ever ever ever watching that movie again
ever
also, not really up there with the most depressing, but Last Days is a Gus Van Sant film about the last few days of kurt cobaines life and it can be horribly depressing to watch for a person with the right kind of perspective.
this scene in particularly brutal and bleak considering we all know how it ends for him... but its also a great and emotional performance by Michael Pitt,the lead actor, who portrayed cobain in the film and wrote the song himself
