Movies that DIDN'T have a happy ending

[LaParkaYourCar 0]

What movies didn't have a happy ending?

 

I can think of a couple off the top of my head: Jeepers Creepers and Final Destination (kind of)

 

There's a lot of movies I've never seen. Can anyone else think of some more?

[Guest Human Fly]

Se7en comes to mind right away

 

Braveheart and Gladiator could be considered as not having happy endings too IMO

[Guest AlwaysPissedOff]

That Denzel Washington movie where he was trying to get rid of that ghost that was possessing people.

 

Braveheart

 

Deep Impact

 

End of Evangelion(unless you find everyone else dying except for Shinji and Asaka a "happy" ending)

 

Terminator 2 was pretty bittersweet with Ah-nold melting himself

 

Boyz N The Hood

 

Menace II Society

 

That one sailing movie with the ER guy where they all die from those two hurrincanes that came together.

 

Spider-Man had a pretty bittersweet ending as well.

That would be Fallen.

 

And via PM, could you please explain to me just what the hell happened in End of Evangelion?

[Guest Ravenbomb]

Gladiator had a happy ending in that I was happy that it was over.

The next Star Wars movie sure as hell better NOT have a happy ending.

The Ring

Ran (which basically means any version of King Lear)

Othello (and any version Therof)

The Wall

Wag The Dog had a mixed ending. It was good that they got him reelected I guess, but they killed Dustin Hoffman's character.

Halloween

Gangs of New York's ending wasn't happy. It wasn't sad by any means, but it wasn't...happy...

I knew once I saw some others I would kick myself for not thinking of them.

 

Se7en definitely does not have a happy ending.

 

I was kind of pissed at the ending of Spiderman.......why the hell did he tell her he just wanted to be friends???

Guys, try not to spoil any recent films...k.

 

As for Spidey, although it bothered me slightly that he didn't take Mary Jane when she offered herself to him....all he could think about is how much danger he'd put her in if he did, so I can understand that.

City of Angles had a pretty horrific ending, but I loved it. When my wife and I watched it she got pissed at me for laughing when Meg met that truck! It was too Ironic, I loved it. Most people disagree.

Don't spoil fucking movies shitwad, I've never seen that one - but now there's not much of a point.

[Guest SP-1]

Moulin Rouge.

[Guest El Satanico]

Well the end of Spider-Man was exactly how it should've ended. That's how it happened in the comic.

[Guest Downhome]

Here are some that haven't been mentioned yet I don't think...

 

Following

 

The Others

 

Titanic

 

Cast Away

 

My Best Friends Wedding

 

Patch Adams

 

Casablanca

 

Awakenings

 

Rain Man

 

The Deer Hunter

 

...not all are really sad, just bitter sweet but all fit the "not happy ending" type of deal.

[Guest IDrinkRatsMilk]

Oh shit, Memento! Can't believe I forgot that.

[Guest GeneMean]

On Her Majesty's Secret Service

[Guest Downhome]

Oh shit, Memento! Can't believe I forgot that.

How does Memento not have a happy ending? It's my favorite film ever, and I thought the ending was a perfect way to end it and still be pleasing to the characters.

[Guest IDrinkRatsMilk]

SPOILER! SPOILER! SPOiLER!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Memento did have an excellent ending. It wasn't happy because we discover Leonard has been manipulated by himself and others, has possibly killed innocent men (and definitely killed men innocent of murdering his wife) and may do it again, and his entire quest, his reason for living, is all really for naught.

Well, to discuss this we have to know what we're talking about. Are you talking about the end of the movie, or the end of the story? The end of the movie is sad, as we find out that someone has been messing with him, however, the end of the STORY, the begining of the film, is a happy ending as in Lenny's view, he finally caught John G., it's over then and there.

[Guest IDrinkRatsMilk]

I was talking about the ending of the movie/beginning of the story.

[Guest NoCalMike]

Requiem for a Dream had a horribly DEPRESSING ending.

 

Even Pretty Woman originally had a sad ending until the test screen audiences convinced the studios to demand a different ending.

[Guest starvenger]

Very Bad Things had an unhappy ending.

[Guest MarvinisaLunatic]

Man on the Moon certainly didn't...

 

Andy Kaufman died..even though they had the thing at the church at the end and they all sang, it was still very sad..I get goosebumps every time I watch that part.

[Guest Lethargic]

Very Bad Things had an unhappy ending.

Very Bad Things had the best, most perfect ending I've ever seen in a movie ever.
