Marley & Me, everybody in that movie was miserable, didn't make you want to be married, didn't make being single look good, the dog dies., just a big cluster frick.

I'm gonna throw out some south korean films since most of the movies I could think of have already been listed.
I Saw the Devil
Old Boy
Silenced
No Mercy
I haven't seen any other movies by Park Chan-wook, director of Old Boy, but his other movies are supposed to be as dark. He also recently directed a Hollywood film, Stoker, if anybody has seen that.

If going for nihilistic, then Bronson takes the cake for me. Movie sucked as a result.

Nope.

Now you can end the thread.

For the overall atmosphere Dark City, Blade Runner, and The Road. For the ending it's hard to top Brazil though No Country is up there.

"City of Life and Death".

I'll never forget the night I watched
Requiem for a Dream
Quills
Happiness
Screwed me up for a few days

RUSH was pretty depressing from what I remember of it

Winter's Bone.

Forgot about that one. Great film and the ending leaves no hope at all.
Philip Seymour Hoffman has played in a few really depressing movies. Love Liza, which is about a man who huffs gasoline after his wife commits suicide. Another dark one he was in was called Before the Devil knows your Dead.

I didn't fine No Country for Old Men depressing at all. I liked the realism. If Blood Meridian were ever made into a movie I am sure I would find it depressing. Probably the most downer of a book I have ever read.

Overall, the Lars Von Trier movies have to take it.
Melancholia was bad enough, but if you can watch Breaking the Waves or Dancer in the Dark without at least considering climbing into a warm tub and slitting your wrists, you aren't paying attention.

Agreed. Antichrist is a bundle of joy as well.

Easily - 'Mystic River' with Tim Robbins, and Sean Penn
also
Magnolia and Edmond, both with Wm H Macy, were kinda depressing, but good....
