I guess I'll be topical and mention Halo: Reach had a deflating ending. You know, the after credits mission? Sad.

Edit: Oh lame. That's been mentioned a bunch already.

Alternative Answer: The animes Berserk and Rah-Xephon were both pretty messed up.

David Tennant's farewells in "Dr. Who: The End of Time, Part 2." Between atmosphere, context, and music I was almost in tears.
Yes, a million times yes. As someone who loved David Tennant as the Doctor, watching him go was heartbreaking. What was most heartbreaking was the fear and sorrow in his face during the transformation, and him saying "I don't want to go".

Just finished Red Dead Redemption not 30 minutes ago. Dude... it was spoiled for me, but still...

Edit: I know it's not sad compared to others, but I tend to think of things as less sad over time. Things are only sad the first time for me, so the most recent sad thing I've seen is the saddest thing I've seen.
This is what I came here to say. Also, it was spoiled for me as well. Anyway, it's less about what happened and more about how it happened.

There's a Chinese film called ' To Live' The ending is not necessarily the saddest in and of itself;

However, the main characters undergo so much tragedy, loss, and suffering throughout five decades the film takes place in, the bittersweet finale that shows a wisdom born only through a life of loss and acceptance really tugs at one's heart.

True, one may dismiss the end as being false, as the characters did not sink into despair entirely, but there is a cold weight of bitterness and pain on their shoulders that they must carry for the rest of their lives - and do what they can to spare their offspring from the anguish.

It was a very human picture. I was surprisingly touched.

Addendum- when I first viewed the film, the color display on the projector refused to work, making the film black and white. It actually served to heighten the immersion. Weird...

Code Geass, tragic.
I agree, I just watched the last episode again today. I almost cried, given:
Nunally's reaction once Lelouch reveals the Zero Requiem, and that no one but her and Suzaku will know the truth.
im still going with the Lelouch is alive Thesus thats out there, because it makes sense.

I know it's been said already, but I have to go with the Lone Wolf section of Halo Reach. It was just so depressing to have that feeling of a last stand that you can't possibly win.

I was watching the School Days and the last few episodes become all kinds of f*** up. With the climax of the whole story at the end I couldnt help but be overcome with sadness.
this.

Apart from these, the ending to Evangelion (despite being all kinds of "off-my-meds" crazy) was so sad :( I'm surprised it hasn't come up yet :/

Nearly cried at the end of Final Fantasy XIII. Screw you, likeable characters and Leona Lewis.
Screw you.

The most recent Skulduggery Pleasant book, Mortal Coil, doesn't exactly leave you with a good feeling either. But I doubt many, if any of you know what book I'm on about.

While it isn't the saddest ending I've ever seen, I'm going to be a little bit different and say Sam and Max: The Devil's Playhouse.

I never thought that I would cry over the death of a cartoon rodent, but I did. Max was a giant monster and had only just begun to remember who he was because of Sam and they were so close to winning. They never even got to say goodbye, just one final wave before Max does his final heroic act. The lonely walk with the sad piano music didn't help, either.

Also, not so much sad as bittersweet, but the endings to Toy Story 3 and Okami.

Drakengard 2, while this isn't the ending, the scene where Angelus and Caim die. Sure, it isn't the ending to That particular GAME, but it is in a way an ending to the journey started in Drakengard 1 by Caim.

I'd post a link to the clip but...youtubes being weird for me.

In my more recent memory.
Metro 2033 (game) gave me the Ranger ending, which too left me feeling a bit blue.
Definitly Angel Beats, which was a huge emotional punch to the gut.
I haven't finished Clannad After Story yet, but the ending got spoiled and I can already say that's going to be one of the saddest endings I'll see in this lifetime.

Bioshock 2 whatever it's called. Sad/neutral/netral good/sacrifice. I thought it was kinda sad, don't want to spoil so I won't go into detail, altough I havent seen many sad games/movies, I HAVE seen The Green Mile...I would call that the saddest movie I'VE seen. I mostly keep to comedies or action movies.
