This will be a list for films where the theme is character(s)' downward spirals. No matter what the protagonist(s) do/does, nothing gets better, only worse. Bad decisions, fate, evil antagonists, etc. ALL these films end bad (for the protagonist(s)). The Pianist is an example of a film that almost makes the cut, be he does make it out of the situation so therefore does not make the cut for my list.
