Psycho didn’t make my list because I find it to be a revolutionary film amongst his body of work. A good thing but I feel it belongs in it own little universe. With padded walls.
Here’s another Top 5 idea: Hitch’s Icy Blondes
Hal Hartley. I’d love to see all his films get the full Criterion treatment with supplements & commentaries, but I think Eclipse would suit his minimal style. Perhaps Surviving Desire, Flirt, & Amateur.
I saw La Grande Bouffe last week. As expected it was hilarious and even had toilet humor but the inevitable ending left me feeling sad and cold. The characters are affluent men, nothing like me, and I should relish in their demise but I didn’t. Ferreri’s Bye, Bye Monkey was also amusing and then depressing but the characters are more up my alley.
My official Most Depressing Films Ever all have been featured on this forum: Sansho, Human Condition, & the most unflinchingly sad animated film not for children, Grave of the Fireflies. I made myself sick from crying after seeing it & had to take the next day off of work. I stayed in bed & watched it again.
As for Synecdoche, New York, it was my favorite DVD from last year. Caden’s struggle is heartbreaking but it’s contemplative for the audience. Multiple viewings & analyzing the film has got to be cheaper than a psychologist.

Variety Lights Criterion Vs. Essential Art House over 3 years ago
EAH edition. It’s a great looking film & charming enough to validate a purchase but not the best of Fellini’s work.
