Top 5 Depressing Films of All Time

1. Legends of the Fall: I was watching this movie this weekend. It has to be the worst. 3 brothers, the most innocent of the 3 dies from mustard gas poisioning and being filled with about 50 rounds from a German machine gun, Brad Pitt cuts out his heart and takes it home. Then Brad Pitt comes home, sleeps with his dead brother's fiancee, Julia Ormond, gets her to fall in love with him, then leaves her to sow his oats.Wait it gets better. He comes back after being gone for years. His father has had a stroke and talks like Helen Keller. Brad remarries and has 2 kids. His wife gets killed on an accidental richochet from a bullet from men working for his 3rd brother, Alfred. By the way, Alfred got the girl all 3 boys wanted. Brad come back, makes Julia fall in love with him again, but she can't have him. Then in the final ten minutes, Julia Ormond shoots herself, Brad Pitt is forced to run away after killing 3 policeman, and the final scene, shows Brad Pitt's death . . . being eaten alive by a bear. The film ends with saying, and I quote, "it was a good death" To hell with that, most depressing movie, hands down.

2. Seven: Again Brad Pitt. Two words, Gwenyth's head. In a box. "What's in the booaaoaaax! What's in the boaaaoooox?" Enough said. Brad's wife is decapitated, Brad goes off to jail after blowing Kevin Spacey away.

3. House of Sand and Fog: If you haven't seen it, don't read this . . .Ben Kingsley's son gets accidentally shot and killed, Ben goes home and poisons his wife and ends it for himself. Very sad movie.

4. Requiem for a Dream: This movie makes Trainspotting look like Sesame Street. Rampant drug use, prostitution, old lady high on diet pills. Jared Leto ends the movie with his arm amputated at the elbow due to an infection from injecting heroine.

5. One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest: Great movie, very very depressing.

The Greatest Film of All Time

For our first lesson, I introduce you to the greatest film ever made, Psycho. Some may say The Godfather, morons will tell you Citizen Kane because some other moron told them that, others might even say such bullshit like Titanic. The fact is that Psycho has the greatest combination of acting, directing, writing, and music than any movie ever made, and its really not even close.

Alfred Hitchcock made a lot of great films, but this is his finest. Made on a small budget with the crew from his television show, Hitchcock changed the face of horror forever. He also introduced the idea of killing your star in the 1st half of the film, something that should have been done to many other stars thereafter. If you haven't seen this yet, go rent it or wait for it on cable. Also, a word to the wise, stay away from the new version starring Anne Heche and Vince Vaughn. Its not worth your time.

Welcome to my blog,

As an avid movie lover and a movie loather, I hope to impart my eternal wisdom onto all who read this by bashing the films that suck, praising the films that rule, and pointing out great films that you may have missed and should add to your Netflix que or other rental list. I hope to make you smile, make you think, and make you realize that opinions are like assholes, and I am the biggest asshole.
