What are the most depressing movies that don't have a death? (Spoilers)

The ending of The Last American Virgin was pretty sad

The wrestler

It technically doesn't have a death

The Wrestler

50/50 (not depressing but def melancholy)

Saturday Night Fever - outside of the dancing scenes, it’s actually pretty depressing especially the end

Kramer vs. Kramer - depressing movie about divorce and custody with Dustin Hoffman and Meryl Streep in the lead roles.

I think that Lemmon's performance in Glengarry was the GOAT (either leading or supporting). I was rooting for him, felt sorry for him, and was disgusted by him, all at the same time. The scene where he visits the guy's house to sell him shitty property (because his wife fricked up and got on a list) makes me feel sick, but I kind of want to give him a hug once he gets kicked out into the rain.

He was a standard shady salesman for a living for most of his life. If that was still the case in the film, he wouldn't be even remotely sympathetic (which is the case for every other character IMO except for possibly Alan Arkin's, whose character was pretty dim). But now he's doing it to help his sick daughter. I wonder if his goals changing is what caused his shift from The Machine into the pathetic and ineffective salesman that he was in the film. Dude was a stud when he simply needed to provide for himself, then lost it when the pressure ramped up.

Also, to be fair to Shell Levine, the leads that he got were absolute shite. But that was probably the case back when he was still the Machine.

ETA: I'd always assumed that Mamet directed the film himself. He directed his own material with "State and Main" and "Spanish Prisoner" with great results. GGR was one of the best films ever, but the director (James Foley) has an absolutely embarrassing resume outside of GGR.

The character Gil from the Simpsons is based on Lemmons performance and it very accurately captures all of those things, in obviously a more comedic way. He's pitiful, beaten down, and you feel sorry for him while simultaneously finding him annoying and are disgusted by his overall patheticness and attitude.
