The Road
First one that popped into my head. Utter depressing garbage, pointlessTo an extent "The Wolf of Wall Street" was a bit similar, I just lost interest in the whole thing as it went on. I'd read the book, figured the film might be good, but just ended up feeling a great deal more contempt for that kind of person, and I guess some depression that people can act that way and still rake in the cash.

I don't remember the film, but the book's certainly bleak.
"The Road" is right up there, even with the positive ending - I often wonder if they made two endings and decided that the one used worked better with an audience

Even at the end, the most positive thing about it is the hope that the group that take him in are decent people, but that doesn't change the fact that the world is dying.
Pan's Labyrinth brings me to tears. The opening of the film lets you know how it will end. The scary fantasy creatures can't save a little girl from the real world horror of her life.

For me, 'Martyrs' was quite depressing, although a brilliant, though-provoking film, the final part of 'The Mist' - if you've seen it you'll know! Also a film called 'The Divide', not highly rated - I seem to be it's sole champion but it's very depressing, in a dirty, lowest of all human life in an apocalyptic scenario way.
I found Blackhawk down quite harrowing and very stressful to watch.
But I reckon Harry Brown to be the most bleak and depressing thing I have every watched - bits of it were just horrible. That film stayed with me for days afterwards - but jesus it's compelling - so much so that I have since watched it a few more times.
