Sad, dream-like films?

Some films have a feeling, a sense of sadness running through them that I've always enjoyed and found fascinating.
A film like Inception, despite its action and complicated story, has that feeling of sadness with the fact that Leo's wife died because he had successfully achieved inception with her and warped her reality. I love that feeling of so much time lost, that feeling of loneliness when he talks about how they had an entire life together in a dream.
Then, there's a film like Synecdoche, New York which is so surreal and at the end when Philip Seymour Hoffman is walking down the empty street as an old man, and he sits on the sofa and speaks to the woman. There's that sense of lost time and loneliness again.
Does anyone know what I mean? Anyways, I'm looking for more films like that if anyone can recommend any

Also, if you like Synecdoche, New York and haven't seen other Charlie Kaufman written films, you should. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, especially.
