Heartily agree with the suggestions of Threads and Mike Leigh's Naked.

also would add Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance and Kurosawa's Ran for more pure bleakness.

Paha Maa (Frozen Land) depressed the hell out of me. Those Finns know how to do bleak...

I've been steadily adding and coming back to this collection because I have the same taste in film as a 13 year old goth girl.

We're almost at 100 movies!

-Inside- left this kind of impression on me. Exceptionally mean and doesn't open a tiniest window for anything but destructiveness.

In all honesty, one of the movies that really took a depressing turn was Toy Story 3. Sure there was plenty of silly and kid friendlyness, but it seemed to me that the biggest theme of the film was facing your own mortality and learning how to deal it. If you don't re-examine how you feel about dying then you definitely missed the point. Also the being drawn into the firey depths of hell scene was pretty hopeless.

Ingmar Bergman's films often put me in a real dark mood:

Shame
Cries and Whispers
Through a Glass Darkly
Winter Light

I'd consider these to be some of the most depressing movies I've ever seen, along with Synecdoche, NY and I Stand Alone (I also hear Bela Tarr's The Turin Horse is quite down and dirty. It probably should be, considering it's his cinematic exit).

Added The Turin Horse... one of the bleakest things I've ever seen.

Gregg Araki's debut Three Bewildered People in the Night.

It's a brilliant film and I believe it was made for only $5000. Probably the bleakest film I've ever seen and certainly, one of my favourites. A world of absolute angst, despair, depression and a general disdain for life, it's a character-driven film.

Try also Straw Dogs and Mouchette.


Dancer in the Dark haunts me constantly. The movie is heart breaking.
