My girlfriend made me watch The Fault in our Stars. That movie was sad as hell. Took all my man power to not cry.
Now, back to the OP's question. If I were to make a really sad movie it would go a little something like this.
Little Timmy is 16 years old. He has an older sister, Lucy, who's 18 years old. Their parents are very wealthy, live a great life. Nice house, lots of friends and a great job. Timmy is a great athlete, great student and is already getting looked at by D-1 coaches for basketball scholarship. Lucy was prom queen and is on her way to being a model with a full ride to Stanford. Everything is going just so fine and dandy. Until one day, they decide to go on vacation. They will be flying to Florida on their private jet. Well that jet crashes and both the parents die. Good news, both kids live. However, Lucy suffered 3rd degree burns over 99% of her body. Timmy had to get both legs amputated at the knee and both arms amputated at the elbow. Both wake from a coma after a week or so and asked for their parents. The Doctors break the news that both parents died in the crash. After weeks in the hospital the two kids move in with their Aunt and Uncle. Their Uncle is an alcoholic and their aunt is a *****. During the kids' recovery phase, the uncle sexually assaults both Timmy and Lucy. The children are helpless as the Aunt is always working the corner and they can't get out of bed. One day the Aunt comes home and catches the Uncle raping Lucy. She grabs a shot gun and shoots the Uncle and kills him. She then turns the gun onto herself and commits suicide. The two kids are left in bed unable to help themselves. Lucy rolls off the bed and tries to get to her brother, unfortunately their drunk uncle's pit bull attacks her and eats her alive. She dies. Timmy is now alone in his bed unable to move and get help. He tries to get to a phone to call 911. Unfortunately, in the process of getting a phone he knocks over a candle and starts a fire. Timmy now burns to death in this house fire. The house burns to the ground. 2 family's are wiped off the earth.

*Gasps for AIR*
Lucy wakes up from a bad dream. None of the bad stuff happened. She sits up in her bed at night, breathing heavy and in a deep night sweat. Lucy continues to have these horrible lucid dreams every night so she goes to the doctor with her mom to see whats wrong. The Doc does a Scan and they find a tumor in her brain stem and give her 1 month to live. In full on panic mode they go home and tell the family whats going on. Their family decides they need to a bucket list of Lucy before she dies. She has one wish and that is to get married to her boyfriend on top of a mountain. So, her fiance and his family and Lucy and her family head for the mtns to get married. On the way up to the mtn peak, the car her fiance and family were in blew a flat tire and causes an accident. Lucy watches as her fiance and his family burn to death. Lucy's family calls 911, but no cell service. So they get into their car and go for help. Their car now slips off the road and rolls a couple times. Nobody dies but their car is totaled and everybody is bruised and beaten from the accident. Minutes later a grizzly bear finds them and eats their family. One at a time, the bear eats this family. The screams and yells for help. Blood all over. One person managed to get away. Lucy. With a broken leg, she crawls for help. Lucy just witnessed her fiance and his family burn to death in a car accident and her family get eaten alive by a bear. After about 1 mile of crawling for help, she falls into a pit of rattlesnakes and is bitten over 25 times. She dies.
The end.
Sad enough mtown?
