Herzog is also super-famous with a certain kind of person and he has the most depressing movies ever. Strozsek (or however it's spelled the one where the retard, the old man and the hooker move to the midwest) is probably the most depressing movie of all time.

Almost G rated though compared to what they are putting out now. @nyokki. Good one. That pretty much sums up Peckinpah’s later stuff.

Then how about you try some movies that aren't well known in countries outside of Germany. Lola rennt Good Bye Lenin! Der Schuh des Manitu Das Experiment Any movie by the magnificent Werner Herzog Of course there are a bazillion more, but since I don't know what you consider depressing or not, I'll list only these.
