The Depressing Movie List

Every now and then, sometimes people just need to be sad or have a good cry. Maybe that makes me overly-sensitive. Regardless, I need that sometimes. And when I'm in that mood, I have a list of films that I find really depressing that I turn to. (An enneagram 4 thinks aesthetically, remember.) These are in no particular order.

1. The Seventh Seal
2. Cold Mountain
3. The Deer Hunter
4. No Country For Old Men
5. Taxi Driver
6. Interiors
7. Crimes and Misdemeanors
8. Leaving Las Vegas

After viewing these movies, there's always a lingering question for me. Which is more depressing, the movie itself or the fact that people really are like this.

I should mention, however, there are 2 films which depress me, but are omitted from the list. They are: The Hours and Schindler's List. I omitted them for obvious reasons.
