Ten Depressing Movies Worth Watching Reviews

I loved the Ten Depressing Movies Worth Watching review by Telpher so much that I thought it deserved a sequel.  Part of my enjoyment of her list came from the fact that she had some movies on there that I hadn't seen and one I hadn't even heard from.  I intend to watch those at some time in the future and thank Telpher for drawing them to my attention.

I know some people feel that movies ought to be light and easy because they're a form of escapism. For me, though, I'm often more interested in working my way through an engaging, difficult and even depressing story, than in watching a movie that leaves me as soon as the lights go up and the credits roll. Here are my picks when it comes to great movies that are anything but "feel good" films.
