What is your favourite Suicide related movie?

[KiloCharlieBravo]

I don't know if its suicide related but I enjoyed Fight Club and Donnie Darko

poetry (2010) is a korean film that moved me a lot. the main character is an elderly woman which i feel we don't see often in film, especially when concerning topics like this. she learns of a terrible secret, is diagnosed with alzheimer's, and joins a poetry class. it's beautiful and just so lifelike in a way many films fail to be - it shows the paradox of life, being beautiful and devastating all at once. it has really stuck with me even now, years after watching it

Deer Hunter is a film I think a lot about.

The Exorcist, while not about suicide directly, has a suicide at the end as a force for good

It was moving, but I only remember the devastating part & her rapist grandson

Ooo good thread. Suicide Club and Suicide Room are a couple of good ones imo.

Dark

 

[SadGirl32]

Suicide Room and Chatroom - Both are more a modern way of looking at suicide and depression through online spaces and the characters only connecting virtually.

Yes, I also used to like these films very much when I was younger.

Leaving Las Vegas (1995)

i really felt for the old woman, she had such a sweet nature & deserved a lot better. i think everybody else in the film is pretty horrible lmao. but i like the balance between how shit things are and yet how she still is looking around herself at the beauty she finds as she tries creating her poem. pretty tragic though, but the actress plays her role beautifully - and sadly enough, she apparently has alzheimer's in real life also

Possession - a 1981 film directed by A. Zulawski, starring Isabelle Adjani and Sam Neill.

Great movie, thank you for the suggestion! But I think the movie is more about divorce rather than suicide, even though there was a suicide scene in it.

 

[Rockman]

Joker from Warner Bros, also Montage of Heck about Cobain.

 

[sleepytourist]

The Perks Of Being A Wallflower covers quite a few topics. Suicide, mental illness, and the list goes on. Trigger warning for sexual abuse content in the movie.

Also loved this movie, very touching.
I would also mention Supernova (2020), which also deals with a person who has Alzheimer and is suicidal.

THE DISCOVERY

It's about the nightmarish nature of life for me

 

[sm20]

Any movie with the theme of suicide, depressio, despair, mental illness counts. Go tell me your favs

Paddleton, it's about a terminally ill cancer patient who legally euthanizes himself.

Whose life is it anyway ? (1981)

Great movie starring Richard Dreyfuss about a man who gets paralyzed after an accident. He feels depressed and doesn't want any life support so he can die.

wickked film, dont make em like that anymore

 

[Deleted_9cKnXB34QG]

The Last Family, it's mainly about Zdzisław Beksiński (the painter) his wife and their suicidal son. It's the only movie that still makes me cry, maybe because of how relatable it is.

Love the artist! Definitely adding this to my watch list :)

mine is easily "Suicide club". It's really gory (sexual assault, animal killing, dozens of suicides, and rolls of human skin are all shown), so you need to know that before you go in, but other than that, it's pretty trippy and interesting. i watched it with subbed english because it's all in Iapanese, and i liked it

basically the plot is about several people trying to find subliminal messages that recruit young adults to kill themselves with a few red herring twists.

 

[Morituri_Te_Salutant]

Suicide Squad.

JK, I don't even watch movies.
