Most depressing movies

[Feanor]

One of the problems of being old and having seen so many movies over many decades is that it becomes really difficult to answer questions like "what was the best?", "what was the worst?", etc. The problem is you just can't bring to mind all the flicks you've seen in a given category.

Of viewings the last couple of years that come to mind as depressing on a count of poverty, social deprivation and/or racism are:

Winter's Bone ~ director: Debra Granik

Do the Right Thing ~ director: Spike Lee.

City of God ~ director: Fernando Meirelles




It gets really depressing when you bring in actual politics and political economy; I was ready to puke after seeing ...

Inside Job ~ director: Charles Ferguson
