My kneejerk reaction to the question is "Grave of the Fireflies".

Fun fact: originally a double feature with My Neighbor Totoro.

My Neighbor Totoro is really sad also (or can be).

Apparently it was Totoro (or so I recall from a really old Usenet post). Makes you wonder about the thought process involved.

That sounds like a roller coaster of a ride.

Ditto. I like a lot of sad stuff and that is just another level.

It really is in a class all its own. I don't think I could ever watch it again.

It's been more than 25 years for me. That movie is like a punch to the gut. And I don't even like kids.
