Movies that feature (or the plot) of somebody killing themselves?

[memoriesofyesterday]

I'm a bit older and the only thing I can think of is "After Jimmy". a TV movie from 1996 and the YT videos are crap and it's very depressing.

What are some other movies?

I highly enjoyed Stroszek

 

[Forever Sleep]

Elephant Song, 2014 is very moving. More of a thriller though...

 

[Golemishna]

Smile (2022) is very good

Movies about suicide?

I've watched this movie a while ago called Himizu and in summary it is about a young boy with depression and he sees no meaning in life and tries or repeatedly dreams of ctb. It's been my comfort movie ever since. I find movies where the character is going through the same thing as me comforting...

As for movies that are not about suicide but do feature someone killing themselves as part of the plot, see the list below. Though knowing this part of the plot may ruin it for some movies.

[imdb] [RT] Million Dollar Baby (2004) [recommended]
[imdb] [RT] Hard Candy (2005)
[imdb] [RT] The Prestige (2006)
[imdb] [RT] Looper (2012)
[imdb] [RT] Coherence (2013)
[imdb] [RT] Edge of Tomorrow (2014)
[imdb] [RT] Predestination (2014)
[imdb] [RT] The Endless (2017) [recommended]

I posted a thread about it a few days ago asking the same thing haha here are some ideas I got:


Movie/shows about CTB

 

[Kinasea]

There's actually a movie called suicide room that's about this. It is in polish or something like that but if you can watch it with subtitles it's a pretty good movie

 

[xulam]

lilya4ever, zero day, totally fucked up, suicide room, close, my broken mariko, mirrored mind are the ones i remember right now

 

[Pleaserewind]

Dead Poets Society
