Gerry (2002)
Matt Damon and Casey Affleck get lost in the desert and try to mercy kill each other.
Supposedly a survival film based on a true story that Damon told to the director, who in turn deliberately chose not to look up more information on the event because "we didn't want to do their story," instead deciding it would be "an inspirational aside".
It ends up being pretentious and bizarre. I credit this film for the phrases "dirt mattress" and "pulling a Gerry" entering my everyday vocabulary
