Most film noirs (films noir? I never know) are very bleak, but have "happy" endings due to requirements for bad guys to get what's coming to them. A few that have dark conclusions despite this are Ace in the Hole, Double Indemnity and Sweet Smell of Success. And a double-shot of Kubrick: Paths of Glory and The Killing.

I could come up with more, but that's off the top of my head.

Don't forget The Searchers

Somehow I made it this far without seeing Better Off Dead. I finally saw it last night and loved it. I've seen a good number of 80s teen films but was blown away by how funny it was. Are there any of films that are similar that I may have missed?

Savage Steve Holland also did "One Crazy Summer" with John Cusack, its along the same vein as Better Off Dead.
