although maybe not the saddest movie, the ending scene in Philadelphia after tom hanks dies and the camera pans through his home and settles in on the old home movies of him as a kid is absolutely heartbreaking. the Neil young song playing over the scene adds such a poignant touch.

The Green Mile was tough to watch at the end.
This one was the worst. When the old version of the Tom Hanks character sees the mouse and knows what is in store for him.....brutal.

Not the saddest, but I felt a lot of anger watching Castaway when Tom Hanks finally made it home to his wife only to find out the slut had moved on and was already f'ing someone else
Yeah, the ending of Castaway is bullshite, a feminist wet dream.
That movie ruined itself with the second act.
When I was a kid I watched a movie that almost nobody has seen. Savannah Smiles. That always sticks out with a sad but perfect ending.
There are sad overall movies and sad meaningful endings...Like A Field of Dreams.
Terms of Endearment was a sad movie overall.
But the saddest ending was probably The Champ.

I'm not a huge fan of Will Smith, but two scenes come to mind immediately for me.
Dog scene in I Am Legend.
Pursuit of Happyness bathroom scene with son in the subway.

a toddler and a teen starve to death for an hour and a half. That's the literal movie. It's depressing as hell.
Yep. Grave of the Fireflies just gives the feeling of helplessness the entire movie for a teen brother and his young sister who have lost their immediate family. No one cared--not extended family or strangers, who all saw the siblings as a burden. I think everyone should see this movie at least once.
Here's what a review at IMDB said and which I could not agree with more:
Seeing a movie like this really changes attitudes about war - about who really suffers, and that the honor and glory is shallow comfort when you contemplate what has been lost in the struggle.
I've made the comment to my friends that if you ever see someone who isn't moved (usually to tears) by this movie, you've found someone without a soul. As difficult as it is to watch, turn off the phone, dim the lights, and immerse yourself in the film with ones you love - you will be a better person for it in the end.
There are many other reviews of this movie, and most of them are probably far more comprehensive than my own - I'll conclude by saying that this movie should required viewing at some point (as should the peace museums at Hiroshima and Nagasaki) for everyone.
When you see war and conflict in the news or read about it in the paper, think back to this movie - your perspective will probably be broadened, and your eyes opened a bit more.
I've only watched this movie about 4 times - it usually takes a year or so to "decompress" after watching it. To see it too often would lessen the impact, and that would be the worst possible thing to do to this movie.
*****Spoiler alert******
********Not to mention that when the young girl dies near the end, the brother has to burn her body.***

Haven't seen that movie since the 80's... Just pulled it up on youtube.
ETA: Sadder than the movie
