Most Depressing Movies Ever - Blu-ray Forum

The Lion King · 05-29-2008, 11:14 PM

Note: this does not mean "saddest movies ever". Movies that don't just make you cry, but are deeply saddening.

The Butterfly Effect for me (I cannot bring myself to ever watch it again), followed closely by Rob Zombie's Halloween, Million Dollar Baby and Freddy Got Fingered (not just because it's mind-blowingly awful, some of the "gags" go past being disgusting into genuinely disturbing and depressing territory)

Million Dollar Baby

My GF could not stop crying during "PS I love you".

I couldn't stop crying at the register when I realized I had to buy it for
her on blu instead of another blu for my collection

Um, LK, if the rest of us on the board passed around the hat and got a collection going, what amount of wager would you accept toward as to whether you could go six months without posting a single thread header with the word "Ever" in it?

We can negotiate amounts later, but for now, it's just something for the rest of us to dream about...

Um, EricJ, what is the point in posting that? Does that really make YOU feel better? Stop thread crapping and stop looking for things to complain about, and go take your anger out on somebody else.

Deer Hunter...

Napoleon Dynamite....depressed after realizing I went through the whole movie without laughing. Guess I missed the point of that one.

Point?--Well, let's see:
How about spreading the word and gaining support for the fact that the rest of the board doesn't need you to forcibly post every single adolescent "Never heard of a 20th-cty. movie" brainfart ON A DAILY BASIS, because you have some franchise-trademark belief that our board "depends" on your Poll Topic of the Day?

Try conversation. The REAL kind.
It's easily less condescending, much less aggravating to read, doesn't get you punched as easily, and gives other readers the illusion that you look older than you actually are.
And that's advice for free.

Unless there's a limit on posting threads a day on this forum, then I'm going to continue to post whatever the hell I like. Is it lonely up there on your pedestal?

I agree 100%. The film is too boring and slow-paced to get the big laughs out of me, and uses the typical cliched ending to try and win the audience over. Yes, a waste of time.

We are Marshall. I am from WV, about 30 minutes from Huntington, so that movie really did strike a nerve with me. I own it on blu BTW.
