Grave of the Fireflies (1988)

Hotaru no Haka (Grave of the Fireflies)(1988) – I. Takahata

This may be the saddest movie I have ever seen (any other contenders?). The final days of world war two in Japan (firebombing, food rationing) and the inability of two orphaned kids to cope. Beautifully animated but emotionally overwhelming. All war should stop right now.
