History DrivenToSuicide / FIlm

* This is played for laughs in the 1971 Hal Ashby film ''Film/HaroldAndMaude'', where the death-obsessed protagonist stages elaborate faux-suicides out of boredom. Until [[spoiler:his friend Maude]] really ([[SuicideIsPainless and cheerfully]]) does it, saying [[spoiler:80 is the right age and she's lived a long, full life.]]

* In ''Film/TheRoom'', throughout the film, main character Johnny is cheated on by his fiancee with his best friend. His response is to throw a fit and [[AteHisGun eat a bullet]] [[DiedOnHisBirthday on his birthday]].

* ''Film/Cadaver2020'': Hans [[SlashedThroat slits his own throat]] in front of [[TheProtagonist Leonora]] and her husband Jacob. [[spoiler:[[SubvertedTrope Subverted]], as he was just acting. He turns up later, alive and well, wearing the fake skin on his neck, with the fake blood tube sticking out.]]

* Several people who stayed in room ''Film/FourteenOhEight'' were driven to this. We also come to find out that [[spoiler: this is true of ''everyone'' who died in [[EldritchLocation the room]]. It doesn't actually kill people (though it can come close), [[FateWorseThanDeath but instead tortures them]] until they take the [[DeadlyEuphemism "express check-out service"]].

* It's implied that Anna was trying to kill herself in the SignatureScene of the 1920 film ''Film/WayDownEast''. Cast out into a blizzard, she runs towards the river... and falls down faint before she can jump in.

* ''Film/AirplaneIITheSequel'': It's also played for laughs here as except for himself and Dr. Stone every other patient, doctor, and orderly in the psychiatric ward where Striker is being kept commit suicide via firearms rather than listen to any more of Striker's [[TheBore life story]].

%%* ''Film/PrayersForBobby'': [[spoiler: Bobby Griffith.]]

* In ''Film/HotSpur'', Carlo's sister committed suicide because she could not bear the shame of being raped. Following [[KillEmAll the bloodbath at the end of the film]], SoleSurvivor Susan kills herself.

* ''Film/JasonsLyric'': The {{Jerkass}} younger brother, Joshua, is used to always rely on his older brother, Jason, in almost everything (including in avoiding the consequences of his wrongdoings) that he grows jealous when finding out Jason would move in with [[LoveInterest Lyric.]] So much so that he ends up shooting himself upon watching his dear older brother, Jason, ''could'' eventually walk away from him for good (after putting up with him for so many years) and chooses to rather save his girlfriend after he (accidentally) shot her.

DrivenToSuicide in {{Film}}s.

* Timan in ''Film/{{Stag}}''. Early in the film, Pete discovers that Timan has a secret gay lover and quite publically threatens to blackmail him over this. Later, the realisation that he is unlikely to be able to extract himself from the situation without either going to prison or helping to cover up a major crime (or, in extremis, becoming an accessory to murder0, combined with the fact--that even if he does somehow escape with life, family, career and reputation intact--he will still be under Pete's thumb, drives him to [[SuicideBySea drown himself in Victor's swimming pool]].

** ''Film/AStarIsBorn2018'' - Jackson Maine is a rock star who launches his love interest, Ally, to pop stardom. Ally's music gradually diverges from the work that originally drew Jackson towards her. She goes mainstream, gains increasing commercial success, and in Jackson's view - sells out. Ally's very business-minded manager delivers the straw that breaks the camel's back --- reprimanding his behavior, and encouraging more distance between him and Ally. A few scenes later, Jackson's hung himself in his garage.

* ''Film/{{Bedazzled 1967}}'' begins with Stanley, depressed over his miserable life, especially his inability to talk to the woman he loves, trying to hang himself - and [[BungledSuicide failing at that too]].
