Can be about people who never find love, but in a broader "life is pointless" kind of way, not silly. People who never find meaning in life. Movie with a general sense of despair, even if the person is successful.
Lost in Translation? It's actually not a sad film at all, and it mostly makes you feel good, but holy fuck it will depress the shit out of you if you're lonely and have nobody in your life.

Paris, Texas is the movie that hit me the hardest
Jaxon Rivera
pretty much every Lars Von Trier movie fits this category.
Dogville Melancholia Antichrist Europa Breaking the Waves
Von Trier truly knows how pointless and frivolous life really is.

Barton Fink Gone Girl Gummo 1984 (although the book shits all over the movie) The Revenant (still kind of fits the description)

How about seven bad ends? Because say no more if that's what you want.

He made a shortfilm at 14 years old about trying to run from death
Imagine spending nearly half a century just thinking about that for a living

I don't know if I've ever seen a movie where more things went horribly wrong.
Brayden Rogers
Pure Kino, one of three movies made since 2000 which will be considered masterpieces along with No Country for Old Men and TWBB, they are the type of movies that will be talked about 50 years from now.
btw idk if others agree but : TAOJJBTCRF > TWBB > NCFOM how would you guys rate them, I'm curious
Jacob Green

Aiden Jackson
I personally would switch The Master for No Country for Old Men but I do not personally agree that there are that few movies that will be remembered.
With that in mind I would place them in this order.
TWBB > TAOJJBTCRF > >TM > NCFOM

OP here. I have been waiting for this day for a long time. I just need the final push, and then I won't have to feel anymore. I won't have to feel.

I wouldn't consider being publicly executed in a gallows to be a very happy ending

I love movies that begin when somebody is laid off from their job, especially if they have no money
Justin Ramirez
I will contest anybody on this board that is this in the top 3 greatest movies ever created.
Watch this OP, ignore the rest and watch this first. It's not silly, it's raw psychological horror.
Ian Mitchell
friendly reminder, all 3 of these masterpieces were made in 2007

Lincoln Edwards
Whoa hey man let's just talk "out of character" here for a second. Synecdoche, NY is a great film and the only movie that's made me cry and I won't watch it now because I know I'll cry harder knowing that Phillip Seymour Hoffman is no longer with us but it's certainly no reason to kill yourself. Go for a walk, talk to someone if you can, take a nice relaxing bath... it's not worth it, seriously. This is coming from someone who lost everything six months ago, I got myself arrested, lost my job, got divorced, and found out my cat has diabetes. Take it from me, I know, life may seem shitty now but it's 1000000x better than not being alive. Someone somewhere loves you whether you know it or not and I think that's the point of the movie, it just takes Caden almost his whole life to realize it.
Ian Watson
>There Will Be Blood So by "soul crushing" you mean soul-crushingly bad?
Jayden Harris
I wouldn't say this is soul crushing, I would say it's very complicated and melancholy, but that feeling adds richness to life, not existential breakdown.
The unaltered version of this movie is probably also in the top 3 or top 5 greatest films of all time. Probably the greatest film ever made by an Italian.
Ethan Scott
Also from 2007
Eastern Promises Zodiac Gone Baby Gone The Diving Bell and the Butterfly Into the Wild I'm Not There The Savages Lust, Caution The Orphanage
2007 is easily one of the greatest years for cinema.

Second. ..though I dislike that poster on principle.
explain yourself.
Aaron Phillips
happy ending my ass, dying from starvation when its absolutely unnecessary is NOT a happy ending
Angel White
No my life and the meaninglessness therein is the reason to kill myself. It needs to happen. Watching a sad movie will put me into the right emotional state to finally do what needs to be done. I appreciate your concern though. I'd say I'll see you in the next life, but we both know the truth.
Darkness now. Only darkness. farewell
Angel Wright
all I remember from that flick is some dykes kissing.
Joseph Cooper
No, he really does. He's a big fat 10 year old maine coon and I have to give him insulin shots twice a day. Cherry on top of everything.
