The darkest movie you've seen?

I agree with Mr Minio.. you all are weak.. Salo is a great film. I happen to be a fan of deSade, the writer of the book "Salo or 120 Days of Sodom". Pasolini took the story and put it during the time of Fascist Italy.

Yes, the film touches many strange and usual topics but overall its a great film. It was my first "Criterion" DVD. I had a bootleg copy before as it was not "released" in the United States at the time.

When you watch a film, its not just for entertainment but its to analyze what the director/writer is trying to tell you as a human being and today's society. There is so much more to truly watching a film. I just don't understand some people who watch films seriously.

I wouldn't say Salo is a dark film as you have said, provocative yes, but i agree with what you're saying. There are many fudged up scenes, but i have seen alot worse like A Serbian Film , that filmis nasty . At the end of the day i just didn't enjoy Salo at all, i have only seen it once after one of the lists on this site intrigued me but i personally wasn't satisfied.

Max Payne,Sin City.

The Devil's Rejects, rather dark end.

Ghosts of the Civil Dead. A 1988 Australian film from John Hillcoat (director of The Proposition) about systematic degradation in the prison system.

Rarely shown, but well worth checking out. A watch once every five years film though - it's bleak!

Ran is probably the darkest I can think of

Ive been trying to find this film for ages!!

3 very good movies.

Martha Marcy May Marlene is a very good movie.

Such a strong performance from the sister of two of the weakest actors out there. What a surprise!

I really need to watch it again.

The Wicker Man (1973).

Watchmen and Sin City

Seriously though, I think Todd Solondz's Happiness would make a great choice.

I loved it. It's probably in my top 20.

That's high praise! I don't know if it'll end up on the first list I do, but it'll definitely be a contender.
