Glad to see some of my favorite movies like Braveheart, Gladiator, and Butch Cassidy and Sundance mentioned.
Three others to note:
Lightning Bug - misunderstood kid growing up in a very harsh region of the Bible Belt. Reminds me of me.
Down in the Valley - Edward Norton delivering a very strange yet haunting view of a "lost cowboy" of sorts
And The Green Mile - I know, not THAT depressing of an ending but just a rather dark take on the idea of being somewhat immortal
Keep flyin'.

How does Empire Strikes Back not get one the list? I can't believe I'm first to mention this. You all get an 'F'.

Saw it. Daniel Day Lewis was great! Still a depressing movie. Just saw Children of Men. That was a pretty depressing movie too.

Has no one said Bladerunner?
Well, I thought the ending was sad. Either version: Cinema release or Director's cut.
They still have only a brief time to live once they learn what they are.

Quote:In the cinema one, Deckard still might be a Human, and Rachael has no termination date; in the Director's cut he's most probably a replicant- in either version they will be hunted, and are looking at a difficult, and probably short life together, so yeah, sad either version...

Donnie Darko although I kind of found it uplifitng in a way and I third Requiem for a Dream. That movie was brilliant but depressing.

Ok, the most F*d up movie I've ever seen has to be Requiem for a Dream. . .I swear I felt weird for like 3 days after I watched that the first time.
Why the mom!?!?!?

Awakenings, The Prestige, and The Great Escape.
EDIT: Oh...why.
Awakenings
Select to view spoiler:
They all end up back in comas again.
The Presitge
Select to view spoiler:
All the main characters, except Michael Caine and one brother, die. Horribly. Actually...Jackman's character dies...over and over and over. It's rather disturbing.
The Great Escape
Select to view spoiler:
All but three of the escapees either get killed. A vast number get recaptured, herded into an open field and gunned down.
