Depressing movies that you only watched once....
Okay, maybe to be accurate, how about Depressing movies that you have seen.
I love movies. Some are sad but in a good way.
I want to see what you think is a Depressing movie.
Tonight, Less Than Zero was on. Robert Downey Jr played a drug addict deeply in debt that resorted to being a gay prostitute to pay off what he owes. In the end, he dies in what is assumed to be heart failure.
I've never seen it but....Passion of the Christ....Two hours of Jesus being abused and tortured? Really?
Oh yeah...Leaving Las Vegas too. Nicolas Cage gets fired and moves to Las Vegas to drink himself to death.
Gattaca with Ethan Hawk. The entire movie feels dystopian and sad.
Repo Men with Jude Law.
Red Dawn, the original.
What is on your list?
Watched “Passion” when it came out in the theatre. So many errors the movie was really a joke. The only part that was close to being correct was the beating scenes. They beat that Man (Christ) near to death. It was a miracle he didn’t bleed out before he ever made it to Golgotha.
Saw “Less Than Zero” in the theatre because my girlfriend at the time and her best friend were into that type of movie. I wasn’t impressed. My wife had never seen it, so we bought it on PPV or something. She didn’t like it.
Saw “Red Dawn” when it came out and have seen it several times on TV. Didn’t depress me. That kind of movie isn’t made for giggles.
As far as just straight junk movies, Driller Killers is at the top of the list. Don’t ask. It’s THAT a bad.
Hamburger Hill
Platoon
Full Metal Jacket
Zero Dark Thirty
The Hurt Locker
War (I think that was TV only and it was good, but the book was better)
American Sniper (kinda cheesy but a good movie and the book was better)
Lone Survivor (the book was better)
The movie about the Spec Op’s guys that they had to hire Tier One guys to do it because they couldn’t find stunt men to so it...can’t think of the name of that movie but that was good.
Argo, because it’s half *** based on a real event, plus it has one of the great movie lines of all time...”Argo F*#k yourself”...it makes sense when you watch the movie.
