That’s just off of the top of my head… too many to list.
I saw some of these and I agree with:

Million Dollar Baby (I could watch that movie again because it was that good IMO)
The Misfits
Anna Karenina
Splendor In The Grass (I didn't find it depressing, just sad)
The Professional (I love that movie)

And of course: Hachi: A Dog's Tale

Wuthering Heights
Back Street (Susan Hayward)
One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest
The Bucket List
I Never Sang for My Father (Gene Hackman)

There are probably a lot more but that's all I can think of now.

House of Sand and Fog (2003) - Ben Kingsley, Jennifer Connelly, and more. Wonderful acting, profoundly sad story.

Great acting indeed...but my goodness, such a sad, tragic film.

I remember when I saw that in theater—think it was first time I saw Ben Kingsley and Shohreh Aghdashloo
Maybe even Jennifer Connelly in a leading role—her talent deserves better than a “Top Gun” sequel…
and she has been in some really good movies—has a string of accomplishments…

Wonderful script and acting but yes—so sad—the power of pride to destruct anything in its path
A movie that was as good or better than the book it came from—something unusual in the movie business
