* ''[[Trading Places]]'' does this to Winthorpe. After being used to a luxurious lifestyle his whole life, he is framed for embezzlement and loses all of his money and friends. Later, after committing several crimes at a banquet, he is out on the street wearing a filthy Santa costume. Then a dog whizzes on him. Then the sky whizzes on him (i.e. it starts raining). He tries to commit suicide, but his gun jams... then fires accidentally when he throws it away, breaking a window and scaring (just scaring, hopefully) a poor cat. |

* ''[[The Mist]]''. The final ten or so minutes. {{spoiler|David Drayton survives the horrors of a past few days, escapes with his son and three other people, sees his wife killed by spiders from hell, only to get stuck in the mist in the middle of nowhere, without fuel and with a gun. Then they all decide to kill themselves, so David kills them all, including his 10-year-old son, only to discover that the gun only had four bullets, leaving only him still alive. He THEN discovers 1.5 minutes later that the mist is beginning to clear and the army is successfully battling the creatures from the mist. Two things make this scene particularly depressing -- he sees the woman with kids whom he refused to help in the beginning of the movie and the Dead Can Dance song "The Host of Seraphim" is playing during the whole scene.}} |
