Grave of the Fireflies A.K.A. Hotaru no Haka (1988)

A Japanese animated drama directed by Isao Takahata.
During World War 2, a boy and his younger sister lose their home and mother in a bombing. They try to stay with an aunt, but she mistreats them and they move into an abandoned shelter by a river.
I think this is one of the saddest movies ever made. It was all like the ending of SLC Punk! (1998). Being Studio Ghibli, the animation was amazing. The backgrounds were incredibly detailed and the characters moved naturally. I think the writing and dialogue were good as well. Because it's so sad, I don't like watching it very frequently. However, it is an amazing work of art. I rate this good for production value and writing.
