Most tragic movies I've seen:
10. Leaving Las Vegas
9. Bullet in the Head
8. When the Wind Blows
7. Paths of Glory
6. Au Revoir les Enfants
5. The Deer Hunter
4. Pan's Labyrinth
3. Lilja 4 Ever
2. Children Underground
1. Grave of the Fireflies
Kids in tragic movies, especially in stories based on reality, are just unbearable to me... Those last three I never want to see again and wish I could un-see if you know what I mean.

Terminator 2 
aside, would most people consider Gladiator to be a tragedy? Yes, his wife and child are murdered, but he becomes a hero, takes down a despot, and ultimately gets a happy ending, reuniting with the loved ones in the afterlife.
My vote goes to Atonement.

The Vanishing (I still consider this to be the best ending I've ever seen to a movie, I just wish it weren't a foreign film so I could get my friends to watch it.)

I'd also say The Mist is pretty damn tragic, at least the ending is.

I would also add Kids (1995) to the list.
