Movie and Show Recommendations

[Nothing.]

I'm looking for movies that end in suicide or have suicide as their main theme. Also any shows or movies that have SH as a theme. Any recommendations?

this one...

1. Helen (2009)... never seen a movie that depicts depression so well.. don't watch the trailer, it looks like a soap opera.. here's a random clip instead.. also, i found a nice summary..

also:

- Leaving Las Vegas (1995) - the "alcohol" method
- Control (2007) - biographical, about Ian Curtis
- Downloading Nancy (2008) - technically homicide but not really

Helen is no 1 though ;)

all of them about suicide, no idea about anything SH-related. maybe Girl, Interrupted - haven't seen it but it's super popular and I think it's mostly about BPD.

Thanks. I'll have to check it out. I've heard about leaving Las Vegas, but haven't watched it yet.

"Last Days" (2005) based on the last days of kurt cobain
You gotta like slow cinema to enjoy it, it's pretty experimental but it's the perfect depiction of what a depressed, antisocial, suicidal junkie rockstar looks like
If you're dealing/have dealt with depression or suicidal thoughts, you'll get it

Probably not exactly what you're looking for, but watch Heathers (1989) if you haven't already. Suicide is the main theme there, but it's more of a black comedy so it's not it if you want something serious.
What else... Wrist cutters: A Love Story, Leaving Las Vegas, Virgin Suicides...

Thanks. I think it would be interesting to learn more about Kurt Cobain.

Black comedies count. I appreciate the suggestion.
