Yep, this.

Revolutionary Road. I can't remember the exact details, but I remember being simultaneously impressed and depressed.

Life is Beautiful. It's played as a comedy albeit one set against the harsh background of Jewish persecution in Italy during WW2. Wonderfully filmed.

The Legend of 1900.

One of my favourite films ever. Just amazing.

I was going to post that.

I've ended up with 3 versions of it, but haven't even opened the blu-ray yet (despite having it about 3 years).

IIRC one of the reviews summed it up well as one of the "the best movies you'll never want to watch again"

That's not depressing, this movie makes me happy.

The ending and general tone of Once Upon a Time in America is quite depressing, also one of the best films ever

A Single Man & Nocturnal Animals

The Tale of Princess Kaguya

Depressing is perhaps not the right word, but I did find it deeply nostalgic and melancholic in a way that made me quite sad. I suppose the ending is a bit depressing. Still, it's one of my favourite films ever.

A Beautiful Mind is a good watch, i'd say it's relatively sad/depressing.

this springs to mind i like the film but its depressing at same time.

Bridge to Terabithia caught me off guard a little.

The Road is the definition of depressing but beautiful though.

Not sure if it's exactly depressing, but Interstellar was beautiful and sad at the same time. The "don't let me leave murph" scene had me bawling like a baby.

"Never Let Me Go" - totally knocked the stuffing out of me
