i dunno wtf, Equi.
i'd say Birth recently brought me to tears, or would have if i'd been alone at home and not with some friend who doesn't appreciate emotional effusions..., Nicole wow, the end is... Donnie Darko did, three time at least, of 6 times seeing it, same thing, depending if i had company or not... that song makes me wanna die. The Myth of Fingerprints didn't, but leaves an aftertaste of void, and why the f.uck life has to be like that? The Last Picture Show, and death IS a sad thing, and so is the memory of this particular movie with the woman of my life, lost in between somewhere, "a shame cuz i did like that dress", says Tori Amos... don't ask me.
all of them in my fave list (that must contain some 12 movies or so??), and probably because they're sad, so it's important for me a movie is. The Man Who Wasn't There comes close
and so does Levity,
(both with Billy Bob Thornton)
and Ghost World is, at the same time is not, sad, it's just, life. but well, life is, so...
this last is among my faves, so i've been thinking of rewatching the two other ones, and may add them to my fave list then. (especially the first one mentioned)
United States of Leland is no fun party either. highly recommended.

It used to be Watership Down but more recently it's:
Dolls (2002, Takeshi Kitano)
It opened up old wounds and while I think it's a great film, it's not gonna be watched again in a hurry.

I'd have to say Mystic River. That whole movie was one big gut punch.

There are alot of sad and tearjerkers for me...and a few threads already started on that topic...
....but I guess 'the' saddest movie for me was probaby Grave of the Fireflies (1988). The story of two kids who have no hope of survival really got to me. They were so sweet.
Saddest scene for me (which I know you didn't ask for, but I'm in a posting mood)...is toss up between...
Sophies Choice...Her 'choice' haunted me and stayed with me for a few days.
Rain Man...towards the end when the fire alarm goes off and Charlie falls apart...that hits way too close to home for me...Dustin was right on target. Pierces my heart every time.
Tacitus ...I haven't seen Dolls...I'll have to look for it.
Of Mice and Men (1992)
E.T.
An American Tail
Life is Beautiful
All of those movies are sad to me.

Previous jumble goes to, Mrs. Darcy! (gdknmoifoaneevh - Kingdom of Heaven)
The individual words are jumbled then the spaces are removed. PM the answer to me. First one with the answer wins.
Woody Allen's Interiors - that thing depressed the hell outta me... yet, I still love it.

While I do agree that a depressing film can be a great experience - I wouldn't say that it's the "best reason to love a movie". Still; different strokes for different folks
Irreversible, strange choice, the end (or beginning) is really happy, but then you remember the beginning (or end) and it all crashes and tore my heart :'(
