Looking for "Draining" movies


Recommended Posts

Im looking for the most draining movies you can think of, movies like Cannibal Holocaust or Philosophy of a Knife. Movies that when you are done watching them, there is a sigh of relief. Not because it was a bad movie, but because the movie was so bleak, depressing, without hope ect, that you are just happy the experience is over. Any help would be appreciated.

And dont say requiem for a dream please... I thought that movie was terrible.

I Stand Alone (directed by Gaspar Noe) is the first one that comes to mind.

Hmm...I do love "irreversible" so I should check out Gasper's other stuff...

(RFAD stunk, probably because I have 0 sympathy for druggies.)

Ill look up "The Road" as well, thats the one with vigo mortenson if i remember...

I'd have to say Lord of the rings, the last one (3rd.. cant remember it's title)

Only because I was extremely stoned, and when watching a movie while stoned, i'm like super involved in it as if it may be a reality i'm remembering. Also, like it's other two movies, it is extremely long.

Also, Texas Chainsaw Massecre's "The Beginning" simply because it was not entertaining, it was like watching an extremly gory "Many Faces of Death"

Also, Jackass #2, all they did was play pranks on eachother, it was not even funny, but dull... and well.. the drinking of horse cum sent me over the edge and I ejected it from my DVD player right after that and returned it.

How has nobody said The Doom Generation yet?

That's definately a movie that can make a mixed crowd go from super friendly and social to awkward, panicked and withdrawn in under an hour. It even has a Skinny Puppy cameo in the very beginning and Ogre has like, oh maybe, one line.

(For those with Blackberrys, using DGN Worksafe, or just don't like yellow)

Thanks for the replies everyone. E few of those mentioned, I wonder if its a joke (lol footlosse, marc)

I own Salo, but thanks for posting, Joey. LMAO, I remember I played Salo at deadline once and everyone just looked at me like "WTF is this!?"

I didnt find Doom Generation, return of the king, jackass or TCM:beginning draining really, and I though Dancer in the Dark was prety dumb as well...but I will check some of the others mentioned.

ALSO

THANKS TO WOHOEVER GOT MY NAME CHANGED, NOCKER LIVES!

Adding The Pawnbroker.

Oh and Pink Floyd The Wall. I have been known to wrap myself up in a fetal position for days after... but perhaps that is because it "holds" something personal, in which I have emotionally invested and projected on to it....
