Sad and depressing definitely not the same.

Sad: Something that evokes the emotion of sadness such as the ending of Old Yeller.

Depressing: Anything that takes away your will to live or see more movies. Like Mystic River or Ingmar Bergman.

Depressing = Old Yeller (Who didnt cry when Old Yeller died?)

Sad = Showgirls (Only movie I ever saw that actually made naked vegas show girls ugly/disgusting....sad, so very sad...I couldnt watch it through to the end, it was that bad).

Is everything inverted in Canada?
Many movies make me cry, a few make me feel helpless. The latter are the depressing ones.

One that I found dpressingas a teenager is Pink Floyd: The Wall. Watched it with a bunc of friends. Afterward we all felt like jumping out of the window. Have not seen the miovie since.

Do you ever dream of the world like I do?

Did someone ever seen "Trees Lounge" with Steve Buscemi (featuring Micheal Imperioli and Anthony LaPaglia too)? Really depressing

...to have just one thing, just one thing in your whole life that you do that makes you proud of yourself, I don't think that's too much for anybody to ask...

When I first watched Fried Green Tomatoes on tv when I was a kid, I completely broke down and started crying when Jessica Tandy's character died. I couldn't finish watching it. Ten years later I saw it on tv again and decided to watch the whole thing this time. Imagine my shock when I learned she didn't actually die.

The one with Crispin Glover and Dennis Hopper? Really?
I spent large amounts of that movie laughing my ass off.


Dennis Hopper had a few funny lines but the rest.....

I still found it absolutely fascinating the first time I saw it. At college on a big screen no less. It was a great inside look warts and all. At the end I was a little sad but couldn't help but be even more enthusiastic about the Beatles as it turns out they don't all walk on water after all.

great movie, filmed in my neighborhood.....the 'lounge' is a real place.


My wife generally avoids all films with either Harvey Keitel or Steve Buscemi, and especially any movie that features them both.
