Some Really Depressing Movies To Watch
Some films are just better when you’re drunk. You know the kind of movies we’re talking about – they are the ones you love to put in your DVD player after a good night on the tiles while finishing off a nice bottle of whisky.
They are almost as much a part of getting drunk as vomiting in next door’s garden and trying to pull that really sexy girl that’s way out of your league. It’s not that they are bad. In fact, some of the film on this list are in hecklerspray’s private collection (no, not that collection). But whether it’s the dumb jokes or the drunken antics, they just seem to fit your mood perfectly. So, get your bottles ready, here goes. Kingpin (1996) There has never been a funnier film about the Amish and bowling.
Come to think of it, we think it’s the only one. We don’t think Harrison Ford did any bowling in The Witness. Anyway, it’s absolutely hilarious, plus it has Bill Murray in it. Dumb and Dumber (1994) It’s not everyone’s cup of tea – or pee for that matter – but after a quite a few beers you won’t even care. There’s Something about Mary (1998) The hair gel gag makes this worth watching alone. Although there are enough disgusting jokes to keep you giggling into your whisky glass into the wee small hours.
Animal House (1978) The classic zit scene involving John Belushi alone makes this 1978 film about a college fraternity fighting the system an absolute must. Toga, toga, toga! The Waterboy (1998) Forget Happy Gilmore and The Wedding Singer, this film about a dim-witted waterboy from Louisiana who discovers he has a unique talent for American football is the funniest Adam Sandler film of all.
If you can’t laugh at this while drunk you must be dead, or asleep. American Pie (1999) This teen comedy has all the essential elements of a great college party. Well, there’s a lot of teenage sex, lots of drinking and, um, someone tries to have sex with an apple pie. That didn’t happen at your parties? South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut (1999) To be honest, we just wanted an excuse to put a clip of Cartman in. Office Space (1999) Let’s face it, a lot of us moan about our jobs when we’re drunk. We just can’t help it.
Well, why bother when the hilarious Office Space will do all the hard work for you. Leaving you to sit back and chuckle and one of the funniest films ever made. It’s about a disenchanted office worker who simply decides to stop going to work one day – and to a large extent gets away with it.
Now we all dream of that. Clerks (1994) The Star Wars line makes this movie worth watching on its own. But there is something particularly offensive about this film that appeals to our drunken sensibilities. We think it’s mainly because the two main characters – convenience store clerks Dante and Randal – spend the whole time just talking shit. Throw in a few visual gags to keep the belly laughs going and you can see why it’s the perfect drinking buddy. Withnail and I (1987) This is not only a film to watch when you are drunk, it a film that will inspire you to get drunk. No, it’s not that bad.
In fact, it’s just simply brilliant and possibly the most quotable movies you will ever see. For those of you who have not had the pleasure yet, it’s about two British actors struggling to get work in the late 60s. I wish there was more to tell you, but that really is it. Oh, that and the fact that they spend the entire films getting shitfaced. There is even a drinking game in its honour, in which you try and match everything they drink. However, many do not attempt the lighter fluid (yes, that really is drunk in the film). Main-stream crap that I wouldn’t even vomit on let alone piss on.
Except, obviously for Withnail & I, now that’s a movie. Especially if you didn’t know what it was about and went to see it at your local art-house cinema when it was released with your fat homosexual friend! Try something like “Invasion of the Bee Girls (1973)” that’s a drinking movie “la la la la la la laaa” Much as I despise Jamie Oliver I fear he was correct, you Brits really are uncultured slobs.
Fuck off and get stabbed outside a cat-kebab shop you losers. munch says.
As 2013 comes to a close we are approaching the time when Oscar contenders will be on full display. As we all know, depressing usually gets you an Oscar nomination because playing dramatic parts is a lot harder than say comedy or action. That being said, there have been a lot of depressing films over the years, but just in the past decade there have been some truly brutal and emotionally devastating movies to have hit screens. Here is a list of the ten most depressing movies of the last decade. If you have a pick that didn't make the list, feel free to add it to the talk backs below. PRISONERS is one of the best movies of 2013 and better be recognized for the performances of Hugh Jackman and Jake Gyllenhaal. Jackman in particular fully embodies a father desperate to save his missing daughter and every dad who sees this movie will be able to relate.
The lengths he goes to in order to find the truth is astounding and very hard to watch. A brilliant drama and thriller with an ending you probably didn't see coming, it also leaves a hanging plot thread that will really leave you down in the dumps. The literal sucker punch in MILLION DOLLAR BABY is also one for the audience as this movie that starts out like the female version of ROCKY turns into one of the most depressing movies ever made.

Hilary Swank's character begs Clint Eastwood to euthanize her as he wrestles with that decision. In the meantime, her family is doing everything they can to take her fight money while she simultaneously tries every method possible in her crippled state to try and kill herself. Definitely not the kind of movie to show people in an old folks home. If you have ever been in a relationship where you have fought with your significant other to the point that the cops have been called, The Wheelers make you look like The Brady Bunch. REVOLUTIONARY ROAD is a sad portrait of a dissatisfied couple as their marriage unravels. It could not be more depressing to watch these people who were in love say the most horrifying things to one another on a path that leads to nothing but sadness and death. A devastating movie to watch despite brilliant performances from Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet.
Dark Depressing Movies
Lee Daniels had the difficult job of making a film about an inner city girl surviving a life of abuse and making it more than a melodramatic Lifetime original movie. PRECIOUS turns out to be a damn fine movie with great performances from the entire cast.

Mo'Nique in particular delivers one of the most disturbing mothers ever put on the big screen. Before seeing this movie I wrote it off as being another overhyped awards contender. If you haven't seen it, you really should. Just prepare not to smile for quite a while.
