  0 0 Oliver Stone's Salvador about killed me. Breaking the Waves is horrifically depressing; the performances are great, but ... ugh! Happiness was probably the most dysfunctional movie I've ever seen. The Unbearable Lightness of Being is definitely draining. Geni answered in Entertainment & Film over 2 years ago | Report 1 comment by Geni… 0 0 Oh, and I forgot Midnight Express. All the above are good movies, they're just hard to watch. I can't imagine watching any of them a second time.

  0 0 Just watched "United 93" the film about 9/11 and the flight that crashed in Pennsylvania directed by Paul Greengrass...it's a brilliantly made but intense film that is hard to watch but well worth the emotional effort. My heart was pounding and my fists were clenched for the entire film but the last 15 minutes just never lets up. Would not recommend watching this if you have to fly anytime soon...

  0 0 I remember being INCREDIBLY depressed after watching "The Mechanic", with Charles Bronson and Jan-Michael Vincent as a team of hitmen, in the 1970s. When I noticed the box on video store shelves a decade later, I consciously avoided picking it up, and could barely LOOK at it! I finally got up the nerve to see it again in the mid 90s, and it was almost as bad as I remembered.

  0 0 For starters, I ABSOLUTELY HATE emotionally manipulating films so, in my opinion the following films do not attempt to do this, rather let the truly sad truth of the moment naturally occur. Although the first 3 are dated, no matter how many times I've watched them, even though I know the ending I lose it & have a good cry: Ordinary People - 1980 (Directed by Robert Redford with Mary Tyler Moore playing an Oscar Worthy Performance as a cold mother, Donald Sutherland... distraught/perplexed Dad, & Timothy Hutton as the troubled son) The very last scene always gets me Tomorrow - (1971)(NO... not the sequel to Annie, if there is/was one) a very simple truthful film starring one of my favorite actors Robert Duvall Tender Mercies - (1983) Another Duvall pic... This one about a Country Music singer trying to reassemble his life P.S. The Hours (2003)... I'm sure you've already heard of this one GREAT QUESTION by the way... Now I have a great list of new films to check out! Write back about your experiences of the ones you've seen!... if you want to of course ;-) Troy Mink answered in Entertainment & Film over 2 years ago | Report Comment on this answer Enter your comment or ask a new question preview THIS IS A PREVIEW: Click "Post" to submit it or "Edit" to make changes. edit Please wait… This could take a minute if the tubes are clogged.

  0 0 I second Ponette. I'd also add 102 Minutes That Changed The World. It's a history channel movie/documentary/show about 9/11. I'm also throwing in my 2 cents and supporting previous suggestions of Requiem for a Dream and Dancer in the Dark. There's also Leaving Las Vegas, Boys Don't Cry, Happiness, and any Lars von Trier films. Any holocaust documentary get me every time.

  0 0 "The Plague Dogs" Animated, not for children. Based on the book by Richard Adams (better known for "Watership Down"). In contrast to the usual: Although the book has a different ending than the movie, it's the book with the happier ending. and "Sid and Nancy" ..and 19 minutes into the pilot for the post 9/11 version of "Battlestar Galactica" I had to turn it off and lie down for a while. I've heard [sic] nothing on TV before or since like it and I'm grateful about that.
