The 10 Saddest Deaths in Movie History

A young boy nurses a sick little girl in Grave of the Fireflies

Whether you believe in Heaven, reincarnation, or the mead halls of Valhalla, death is still a bummer. The endpoint for us all, our lives are made all the more precious with the knowledge that they are fragile and brief. Many of us hope to go out surrounded by friends and family (or maybe in a gloriously cool skydiving accident), but not all of us are that lucky. Art imitates life, or death, in this case, and movies show the bevy of ways that each of us could meet our bitter end. Thankfully, there’s a pretty low likelihood any of us will get got by interdimensional monsters or starve in nuclear winter like some of these film characters, but it’s still a possibility. Prepare a eulogy; these are the 10 saddest deaths in movie history.
