Most Depressing movies you've seen?

[jamespowers]

Faded Glory . . . Sassoon . . . Huckapoo . . . Jordache! <runs screaming from room>

Huckapoo sounds like a disease you treat with antibiotics.:eeek:

I think that jacket of Johnny's made me temporarily blind.

 

[V.C. Brunswick]

Then there's the patterned shirt and matching tie ensemble. Though I must say that English suits from the '70s were a damn sight better looking than Johnny and Ed's.

I tried so hard to be 'in' and wear one of those satiny/rayony shirts. I couldn't take it. I need 100% cotton against my skin.

The Road is pretty depressing.

I also just saw The Grey in theaters a few weeks ago and it was a bit of a downer - but suprisingly existential and entertaining.

Those dang things were hot and scratchy. God help the poor rayon wearing public of the 70s.
The embodiment of the 70s style:

The material is something else though. That ugly blue and in polyester. PU!

Let us not forget the hairstyles (or is it lack of style) during this time as well.

Bedhead.

Nothing has been as bad as the seventies. It was a hideous period that the world is still trying to recover from.

I refer to the '70's as the time when all fashion was designed either by Bozo the Clown or Stevie Wonder. It was also a time of fads. We were cursed by them! C.B. Radios, Cowboy Chic, designer jeans, 8 track tapes, Disco you name it, it all came and mercifully left just as quickly. Save for a few decent films, Steely Dan, Sly Stone and PFunk et al, I'd just a soon have the whole decade removed from the memory banks.

Da "Can I get those lapels a little WIDER!" Worf

Now THIS is depressing the crap out of me....

 

[1961MJS]

Gawd, I remember a gold, but not gold lame' shirt no buttons, with a huge collar. It came with gold and red plaid pants and a gold, red, and brown paisley scarf to wear with it. I also owned a sky blue leisure suit. :eeek: 8 Track tapes weren't so bad, but they sure didn't beat cassettes. I don't miss the '70's either.

I had a boss who still owned and wore leisure suits up to 1986. Gotta love that. I also used to work with a Wayne Newton clone who wore custom leisure suits until he retired about 2000. :eeek: :eeek:

Later

 

[Justin B]

Any of the Twilight movies. I get depressed just seeing a trailer and thinking people have so little respect for what they put in thier minds as to watch that drivel.

 

[conrad5157]

For me the movies of Elizabeth Taylor immediately came to mind:

Cat on a Hot Tin Roof

Raintree County

Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolfe(the most depressing movie I've ever seen)

A Place in the Sun

 

[V.C. Brunswick]

Das Boot -- The Captain (Jürgen Prochnow) and most of the crew of the U96 survive a near-sinking only to die in an air raid when they return to La Pallice at the end of their patrol.

Even back then we used to laugh at the way he (the character) dressed. His whole aura was over the top.

But they used clothing that you could have picked up anywhere at the time. They laughed at him but they needed a mirror to see themselves. :rofl:
