My top 4 depressing movies.

If you’re like me, you get sick of watching movie after movie where everything works out in the end and everyone goes home happy. I like to see things just go horribly, horribly wrong sometimes. These are my favorite movies that fit that bill.

1. House of Sand and Fog - The first time I watched this movie I remember saying out oud “that made me feel like shit” as soon as the credits dropped, and not being able to shake it for a good half hour. That’s the power of a good movie. It will fuck your day up and you will never want to watch it again, but it’s amazing in the process. This was also the movie that introduced me to Jennifer Connelly.

2. Bully - A movie loosely based the true story of a group of drugged up, over-sexed teenagers who make a plan to kill their school bully. If you haven’t seen any Larry Clark movies, do yourself a favor and check out Kids and Ken Park, along with Bully. His stuff is not for the easily shocked and offended.

3. Gardens Of the Night - This movie was hard to watch and had me cringing from start to finish. It’s never explicit, but the subject matter (two 8 year old kids being abducted and sold into a child pornography sex ring) makes nearly every scene deeply unsettling. I kept wanting to stop watching but I never could pull myself away. It is definitely worth checking out, if for no other reason than it shows an ugly reality. You’ll never leave your kids/nieces/nephews outside alone again.

4. Requiem For a Dream - Ranked #66 on IMDB’s all-time movie rankings, and for good reason. It’s one of my favorite movies ever, and it shows the depressing  downward spiral of hard drug use. It also has the good fortune of having Jennifer Connelly in a leading role (she’s good at being depressing). If you have never seen this movie you are doing yourself a disservice. Go watch it.

Every once in a while I just can’t stand the thought of sitting through another bullshit happily ever after. When this happens, I usually end up watching some whacked out indie film that leaves me asking myself ‘what the fuck did I just watch?!’ I haven’t seen any of these, and it just so happens that HBO on demand movies was playing House of Sand and Fog. I remembered this post and said to myself, ‘What the heck? It’s gotta be better than watching another crappy rom com.’ It was. Way better. However, I was miserable and crying at the end. It broke my heart a little bit, and I am going to have to go to bed sad. Go watch this movie. You may feel like shit at the end, but the movie is worth it.

The kiss of death.

This astonishing sculpture forms part of Barcelona’s Poblenou Cemetery.  The Kiss of Death (El Petó de la Mortin Catalan and El beso de la muerte in Spanish) dates back to 1930. A winged skeleton bestows a kiss on the lips of a handsome young man: is it ecstasy on his face or resignation? Little wonder the sculpture elicits strong and varying responses from whoever gazes upon it.

beautiful sculpture and it reminds me of the end of Baron Munchausen
