Darkest films

[Visceral]

What are the five most dark filmd you have ever seen. (doesn't have to be ones you like)

Mine are
5. The Dark Knight
4. Donnie Darko
3. Oldboy
2. Mystic River
1. Taxi Driver

Note: haven't seen all of a Clockwork Orange yet.

 

[Zephyr Alexian]

I don't know about the darkest, but Gone Baby Gone is up there for me. TDK is probably the most intense film I've seen this year. Blade Runner is dark for its day. Also, the general disposition of every 'out for their own personal gain' character in the Maltese Falcon makes it one of those kind for me. Full Metal Jacket is like that. I can't group them into any order, but those are some I can think of off the top of my head.

dark city

[DDS]

Sweeney Todd is definitely high up there.

 

[Soapy]

Dumplings.

 

[Alien Anal]

Bad Boy Bubby
now thats a ukin dark movie

 

[Carmine Falcone]

Se7en is one bleak, grim piece of film. There are like 2/3 laughs in it. I think that's the one.

 

[xwolverine2]

Sweeney Todd is definitely high up there.

i dont find a movie where people sing all throughout very dark lol..

 

[Dexter M0rgan]

...Okay...

Sweeney Todd is definitely dark. A big downer of an ending.

 

[Kahran Ramsus]

The Godfather Part II. Michael's downfall is quite depressing.

[deathshead2]

Wait Donnie darko is dark? I thought it was comedy? At least I was laughing through most of it.

Oh and the Thing is dark.

 

[Sawyer]

The Excorcist. Naming a horror movie may be cheap, but nothing is quite as dark as *********ing with a cruxafix.

 

[bullets]

texas chainsaw massacre
the shining
seven
poltergeist
jacob's ladder

i haven't seen cannibal holocaust and not so sure i want to .. that's dark.

 

[Warhammer]

I know that Cannibal Holocaust is as nasty as you can possibly get, but how is it really a dark film? The movie even seemed like an actual documentary, so that alone ends it for me classifying it as dark.

 

[MrWayne]

Nightmare On Elm Street parts 1 & 2

 

[Franklin Richards]

 

[The Guard]

I'm glad someone mentioned 8MM. Despite the various "inaccuracies", it's got some of the darkest stuff you'll ever see in mainstream film.

 

[BatJeff7786]

No Country for Old Men. The ending is so dark that people were mad at it because it just....ended. No resolution.

Spoiler

The bad guy gets away, one hero dies and the other gives up.

 

[Space Moose]

Dumplings.

Depends. It's a film you have to pay attention to to understand the true horror that's happening otherwise it's just some crazy old bat rambling on about eating babies and stuff.
