Saddest movie ever

[Nightwish84]

Yep. As well done as it is, just brutally hard for me to watch human suffering on that scale.

And Spielberg was directing Jurassic Park at the same time. I can't fathom the shifts of emotion from doing arguably one of the most important and depressing films ever made to a summer blockbuster about a dinosaur park.

Glory had me shedding some tears.

Also based on a true story. The opening scene of Antietam is reminiscent of Omaha Beach scene in Saving Private Ryan.

Lorenzo's Oil

Blue Valentine

I watched that when it first came out about 13 years ago. I remembered it being a downer. Watched it again on HBO a few months ago and it's just so damn depressing all around. Dead dog, raising kid that's not yours, wife hates you, gets the wife fired, and gets left. The movie ends on that note.

Requiem for a dream was disturbing and sad
