 I've seen a lot of people badmouth the movie AI lately. I thought it was very well done. Depressing? Yes. Bad movie? No. Vague liberal undercurrent? Yes, but who cares? The story was solid. Been several years since I saw it though. -Steve |

Ahhh, the whole alien bit? Yeah. That kind of cheapened the impact. I wonder if there are alternate endings on the DVD?
But one of the worst movies evah?  -Steve |

Those weren't aliens. Those were the robots of the future. Humans became extinct and robots were left on earth to develop. They were doing archiological digs... |

The Chekist
"A powerful, very disturbing film about Bolsheviks slaughtering their political enemies during the early 1920's. It's set in a small, provincial town in Russia, where the local Cheka goons round up aristocrats, anti-communists and other suspects. They are promptly sent to a basement, ordered to strip and shot. Everything is presented in minute, graphic details. It's as shocking as "Henry:Portrait Of A Serial Killer" or "Salo, Or 120 Days Of Sodom"." |

About Schmidt. Great acting but it made me think that the society from Logan's Run had the right idea. Plus, the kathy Bates nude scene still haunts my dreams.

+a million Last semester I had to watch that movie for a comparative government class. The prof showed us the director's cut (without all of that unnecessary happy shit tacked in there to make it more mainstream) in a big auditorium. I was already in kind of a funk when I walked in there, and afterward I just wanted to slit my wrists. I'll admit that it was inventive and well made, but it is the cinematic equivalent of having to shoot your own dog. This is coming from a guy who laughed all the way through Requiem for a Dream. |

I went to see it with a friend of mine at the theater when it came out. Afterwards we just looked at each other and said, "That's not fair." I think we were too depressed to do anything else that night. |

Finally watched "Million Dollar Baby" a week or so ago. Wife and I both said it moved to very close to top of list for most depressing. Another film that depressed me was "Butterfly Effect". I am not a fan of Ashton whats his name but I went to the theatre and watched it. It depressed the crap out of me. I said I wouldn't watch it again but I have since it came on cable. It is like a train wreck, you just can't help yourself. Another one is "Revenge" with Kevin Costner.

The Constant Gardener is my latest most depressing. When we left the theater my wife and I were speechless.
Million Dollar Baby is right up there for last year. I've seen my share over the years and agree that Brazil is in the top ten ... Netflix says I've rated over 2300 movies (I've been a member for 5 1/2 years) but they don't have a "most depressing" rating. |

the champ.
pvt ryan is up there i am one of those who prefer to be "bothered" by a movie. i don't like to sit through two hours of mind candy and then forget what i just saw when i leave. i want to be stirred, haunted even. the art of film is made to elicit emotional response and the good ones always do. |
