Suggestions?
I personally haven´t found a movie as moving/sad as this one.
Some of my personal suggestions...
Basically anything by Tarkovsky, especially Zerkalo and Rublev
La Strada (Fellini)
Ordet (Dreyer)
Mat i Syn (Sokurov)
Los Olvidados (Buñuel)
Ali: Fear Eats the Soul (Fassbinder)
You've mentioned already some of the most moving movies I've already seen. From Buñuel's masterpiece "Los olvidados" to Takahata's utterly sad but equally touching "Grave of the Fireflies".
Here are a some more:
"Barefoot Gen" (Mori Masaki)
"Pan's Labyrinth", "Cronos" and "The Devil's Backbone" (Guillermo del Toro)
"Ikiru" (Kurosawa)
"Three Colors: Red" (Kieslowski)
"21 Grams" (González Iñárritu)
"Mamma Roma" (Pasolini)
"Nights of Cabiria (Fellini)
"The Spirit of the Beehive" (Víctor Erice)
"Butterfly Tongues" (José Luis Cuerda)
"Innocent Voices" (Luis Mandoki)
and of course "Cinema Paradiso" (Tornatore) starring an adult Briggitte Fossey.
All of them plus the ones you all have mentioned are true poems in movement.

If we talk about the same kind of innocence type of drama...
MAGNIFICO
And Lars Von triers trilogy: Breaking the Waves, Dancer in the dark, The idiots
This is a very old thread, but as I am watching Jeux Interdits right now, I decided to look it up on IMDB. The first movie I thought of when I started watching this one is Paolo and Vittorio Taviani's "La Notte di San Lorenzo" (The Night of the Shooting Stars" about a group of Italians fleeing their occupied village during WWII. There are children among them who see the event in a different light.
"The Secret of Roan Innish" is another movie about a child who lives in her own world.
"I could be a morning person if morning happened at noon."
I LOVE "Ali: Fear Eats the Soul"! Along with "Turkish Delight", my vote for most moving love story of all time. That I've seen, of course.
shareTurtles Can Fly (2004), also deals with war and how it affects children
so many movies, so little time
Also by Rene Clement, there's Gervaise.
