Most deppressing movies which I saw

by still_loving_something | created - 25 Jun 2011 | updated - 29 Mar 2018 | Public

The list doesn't have any type of sorting such as from most to less yet the first title is still the one which deserves to be in the first place if I tried to sort the list from "bestest" to "best" (in my oppinion, there are no bad movies in this list, so...)

I hope the list would help you people out whose searching for such categorisation...

Enjoy!

Oh! And any comments would be welcomed!
