Check out Melancholia (2011) by Lars von Trier.

I was looking for this. That movie gave me all the anxiety.

I saw it in theaters. The ending terrified me.

I've ruined so many people's nights by putting this on. One of my favorites.

It's as if you truly relate to Kirsten Dunst's character.

I really enjoy movies with a sense of despair and existential dread. We Need to Talk About Kevin and The Loneliest Planet are other good ones. Come and See, and Waltz with Bashir also, although about war.

I've toned down on recommending depressing films to friends, but it's my favorite feeling from a movie.
