Top 10 Saddest Monster Movies

The most emotional death of an iconic character of all times. Godzilla is the best monster. His death was a huge deal to the entire world back in 1995. The news, the newspaper, the channels, everything! It was a big deal that will Godzilla die in the film. And watching this film. I cried so much that Godzilla melt down with a very soft roar. This definitely deserves number 1 always. Sorry Kong fans. - asantalo

Godzilla is on the verge of a nuclear meltdown, a monster is created by the weapon that killed the first Godzilla, and Godzilla's son dies. Such a emotional tear-fest.

The reason why I vote is because godzilla is my all time favorite monster next to gamera and I cried when godzilla melt this more sadder than godzilla 's deaths in gojira (1954) and the return of godzilla but all godzilla 's energy went to godzilla jr and became the new king and seated on his father 's throne this is a great way to end the heisei series all hail to the king!

Watching Godzilla die was so sad.

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 were reaching for the tissues.

This movie is sadder than Godzilla, KING KONG should be in number 1!

Put this in number one please.

The ending...made most of us cried. The US Version makes it more sad than the Japanese Version. Especially the Godzilla screaming while falling into the Volcano. And Raymond Burr’s speech, what can I say. It makes the US version more emotional. Even though the Japanese Version is far superior, the US Version has a better ending. - asantalo

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

Sadder than Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla 3. Because the 3 obvious Kaijus (Godzilla, Mothra, and Mechagodzilla 3) died in this film. I simply cry a lot. Mothra’s death is the saddest thing about this movie. Mechagodzilla comes so close to her, because they both risk their lives to stop Godzilla. I’d only wish they this version of Mechagodzilla was in Final Wars. But sadly no. - asantalo

Seeing they one rodan commit suicide to be with its mate is very sad

The relationship between Yancy and Raleigh seems genuine. So when Yancy is killed by Knifehead, Raleigh is devastated. Even the soundtrack of that part is called "For My Family" and well worthy of that title.

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

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.

Get this: The monster is a baby.

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