And the tears that fall
On the city wall
Will fade away
With the rays of morning light
Sometimes the bad guy wins and that's okay.

Example: The Last American Virgin.

Vertigo has probably the most nihilistic ending Hitchcock ever did for his movies.

Brazil. Although in the context of the movie, it could be seen as a happy ending.

I've been arguing with a friend about this off and on for something like 10 years; I always interpreted the ending as having a glint of hope, in that there's one thing even "they" can't take away from him, while my dude thinks it's pure cynicism and darkness

Either way it's a hell of a movie, Terry Gilliam rules

Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer is great if you really just want to have all your hope extinguished.

gently caress yes what a film

Entering Robin of Sherwood the TV series as an unhappy ending programme. It was really good, like a proto Battlestar Galactica reboot.

I went into that movie blind, and thought it was another 80s teen sex comedy.

Welp.

As an irishman, I think Long Good Friday doesn't count. As an American who hates terrorism tho, Long Good Friday does count.

I like to imagine that film, The Thing, and Prince of Darkness are all happening at the same time. The ultimate bad time ending.


Also, the end of the AquaTeenHungerForce movie made me unhappy so I think that should be included.

Melancholia was a happy ending because all the insufferable assholes (aka every single character in the movie) died
