	The most depressing thing about this quiz is how bad it looks. Use spaces around the slashes, so that not every name splits over two lines. Widen the first column to 60%, and drop the third as it provide virtually no useful info. Remove the last, blank row from your data.

	glad you included house of sand and fog. that was such a depressing movie. but the notebook? i thought that was uplifting.

	DwightShelford:	Nov 6th, 2010 at 19:15 GMT		3 points
	Some of these aren't even depressing. Seven? Donnie Darko? The Notebook? Requiem for a Dream definitely belongs though. Also, how can you say that there's no recognizable actress in Schindler's List? What about Embeth Davidtz? She was excellent.

	alsanali:	Nov 6th, 2010 at 23:36 GMT		7 points
	So Christopher Walken is the lead actress in The Deer Hunter?

	begins and ends with dancer in the dark.

	You obviously haven't seen "The Sweet Hereafter" or "The Crossing Guard". How exactly is "Schindler's List" depressing? It ends showing all the people he saved and their families. The whole point of the film is that in the face of unspeakable evil, one man did the right thing. That's uplifting. And enlighten me on how "Blow" is depressing. A man who makes a fortune in illegal drugs gets what's coming to him.

	Definitely wouldn't call Donnie Darko depressing, and I think Se7en is more disturbing/upsetting than it is depressing. I would count Schindler's List, though; obviously it is uplifting in the end, but the movie as a whole just destroyed me.

	heatherh:	Nov 7th, 2010 at 04:50 GMT		5 points
	The Pianist should really be up there. Donnie Darko shouldn't. Quite a poor list, really.

	bbainn:	Nov 7th, 2010 at 20:18 GMT		5 points
	My vote goes to The Boy in the Striped Pajamas.

	rsplenda477:	Nov 7th, 2010 at 23:14 GMT		6 points
	artificial intelligence should be accepted by itself

	What's the source on this?

	Ribhump:	Nov 9th, 2010 at 12:03 GMT		1 point
	Stalingrad, makes you want to give up on life straight after. And Japanese film Ran (based on King Lear) has one of the most depressing endings ever.

	zutluvip:	Nov 10th, 2010 at 14:17 GMT		2 points
	@Tats, agreed, Dancer in the Dark need at least one slot on this list.

	imclala:	Nov 10th, 2010 at 16:57 GMT		1 point
	You misspelled Rachel McAdams.

	arpw:	Nov 10th, 2010 at 21:47 GMT		2 points
	You really should give your source on this. Is it something on IMDB? Or just taken from a forum? Are the movies ranked in order from 1 to 20? On another note, many of these movies are held in very high regard, even if they may be a bit 'depressing' - 9 of them are in the IMDB top 250, and they have 24 Oscars between them.

	The Notebook certainly does not belong on here, not even with that ending. Heck, "Afterglow" with Julie Christie is a lot more depressing.

	ilikethings:	Nov 11th, 2010 at 19:20 GMT		0 points
	Dead Poets Society?

	NinedenLtD:	Nov 11th, 2010 at 20:47 GMT		2 points
	Shane. Seventh Seal. Goodbye Solo. Paper Moon. Midnight Cowboy. The Great Santini. Save the Tiger.

	SmokeMonster:	Nov 12th, 2010 at 06:48 GMT		2 points
	The most depressing movie ever is The Purple Rose of Cairo. No exceptions.

	themegarooster:	Nov 12th, 2010 at 16:27 GMT		1 point
	the lead actress of "Precious" is Gabourey Sidibe, not Mo'Nique

	Fidelio:	Nov 13th, 2010 at 19:13 GMT		1 point
	The title of the movie is actually Artificial Intelligence: AI. Both "Artificial Intelligence" and "AI" should be accepted, though. Another recommendation: Boys Don't Cry.

	johnlk:	Nov 13th, 2010 at 20:26 GMT		4 points
	I'm puzzled by the idea that Jennifer Connelly was not the lead actress in "House of Sand and Fog." Or that Drew Barrymore was anything but a minor supporting actress in "Donnie Darko" - surely Mary McDonnell and/or Jena Malone was the lead. Similarly, Kevin Kline and Meryl Streep are puzzlingly reversed in "Sophie's Choice." Morgan Freeman was not the lead actor in Million Dollar Baby, nor is he an actress in Se7en. Michael Clarke Duncan is not an actress either.

	Should accept Precious: Based on the novel Push by Sapphire, for Precious.
