Use the term "depression" as loosely as you'd like.

Well it's been ten years, and a thousand tears
And look at the mess I'm in
A broken nose and a broken heart,
An empty bottle of gin

I was going to write Angel at My Table. I love that movie.

While I'm singin' to myself
There's got to be another way

I know. Remember that movie I think called Welcome to Sarajevo? She was so good in that. I saw her in something lately where she played an older woman. I just can't think of it. I am surprised she's not in more movies.

But wherever I have gone
I was sure to find myself there
You can run all your life
But not go anywhere

Yes, Shallow Grave was so good. I don't think I've seen the others. I'll never forget her as Janet Frame though. It was such a sensitive performance.

Take away, take away
Take away this ball and chain

Taste of Cherry might be one of my favs ever.. It was on Youtube last time I checked.

A couple more:

The classic The Snake Pit, which was superb.

A Girl Interrupted, which was good but not great.
