Top 10 Saddest Monster Movies

The most emotional death of an iconic character of all time. Godzilla is the best monster. His death was a huge deal to the entire world back in 1995. The news, newspapers, channels - everything! There was so much anticipation about whether Godzilla would die in the film.

Watching this, I cried so much when Godzilla melted down with a very soft roar. This definitely deserves the number one spot, always. Sorry, Kong fans.

Burning Godzilla's meltdown showed Godzilla "melting" as if he were a snowman in the middle of summer. He had a slow yet painful death. Imagine going through that. Godzilla vs. Destroyah is a well-deserved number one. Even the actors were crying.

Watching Godzilla die was so sad.

The ending made most of us cry. The U.S. version is even sadder than the Japanese version, especially with Godzilla screaming while falling into the volcano. And Raymond Burr's speech - what can I say? It makes the U.S. version more emotional.

Even though the Japanese version is far superior, the U.S. version has a better ending.

The ending gets me every time. I remember when I couldn't wait to watch this with my friends. We thought it wouldn't be sad, but when we walked out of that cinema, we were crying wrecks.

The first time I saw this film, I cried when Kong died. It's just so sad. You can really see Kong's sadness before he falls.

Much sadder than Destoroyah and that rubbish film with a fat iguana called Godzilla in it.

When King Kong died, I'm pretty sure the whole audience was reaching for the tissues.

Mothra's death made me cry more than Kong or Godzilla, surprisingly. I cried so hard when I saw this scene. Put this at number one.

Although I hate this film, Mothra's death was pretty sad. I feel sorry for Mothra Leo.

This is sadder than Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla 3 because the three obvious Kaiju (Godzilla, Mothra, and Mechagodzilla 3) die in this film. I cried a lot. Mothra's death is the saddest part of the movie, but Mechagodzilla comes close because they both risk their lives to stop Godzilla.

I only wish this version of Mechagodzilla was in Final Wars, but sadly, no.

Seeing one Rodan commit suicide to be with its mate is very sad.

Kong's death is just so brutal. What is even sadder is the original ending where Jack walks away from Dwan when he sees that Kong is dead.

The female MUTO's sadness over the deaths of her young seems genuine. It's a shame she didn't get to avenge her children before she died at the hands of Godzilla.

A story so heartbreaking that it should never be played again.

When Godzilla hit the floor, I think he died.

A monster kidnaps a man's daughter, and the man tries to save her. I've never heard of that happening before, but it's still pretty sad.

The death of Godzilla at the end still pulls at my heartstrings. From the music to the mighty beast's glory falling, just remembering it fall to the ground and close its eyes against the soundtrack makes my eyes tear up to this day.

WHAT?! This is your number one? Zilla just let her babies die. Godzilla vs. Destroyah should have been number one. Godzilla could kill Zilla.

This movie is so underrated, and it is even sadder when Godzilla loses her babies.

The actual film isn't sad. It's freaking awesome. It's just sad that we had to wait so long to see it.

Kiryu is built from the first Godzilla's bones and is deployed to kill Godzilla, but memories of his death haunt him, causing him to rampage. That's pretty sad.

I'd say this film is more dark and depressing. The main antagonist, Shin Godzilla, is always in pain, destroying everything out of agony, anger, and desperation to survive. It's basically like Darth Vader all over again, but we created him instead of him creating himself.

The saddest monster movie ever.

Biollante was made from a girl who was killed in a terrorist attack. After 9/11, people now understand just how heartbreaking that scene is.
