Von Trier's Epidemic has a depressing ending. Or at least disturbing.

The laugh scene is hilarious, though.

Se7en That is all.

The same thread pops up all the time.

Depressing, not pretentious.

Definitely Watership Down.

Even Dogville had a bummer ending.

Dancer in the Dark makes me sad because the thought of Bjork dying makes me think of no more Bjork music.

Any movie about the Holocaust (you know the ones, just pick one).

The Road

Captain Steel, have you seen Der Ewige Jude?

No I haven't. Tell me more!

a real propaganda film... you should watch it... directed by Fritz Hippler.

Der Ewige Jude?...let's just say it goes along with the dreaded 'E' word.

I will look for it. Holocaust movies are depressing, but I watch them because I think it's important to never forget. (I'd like to see Escape from Sobibor again, starring Alan Arkin.)

Have you seen "Night and Fog" and "An Film Unfinished"? These are more documentary type and if you want to watch the full 550 minutes of "Shoah" you can. I have only seen part of that.. Its the Criterion copy.

I saw Night and Fog a long time ago (I think they may have even showed it in my high school, back in the early 80's). But I'll put the others on my list too.

People are name-dropping Lars von Trier and you're going to single out my answer as pretentious?

That's without getting into the issue with calling films pretentious...
