Can anyone name some movies with a bad ending? I'm tired of all the happy endings in movies.
No I'm not depressed or anything.
No horror please, unless it has a really good storyline.
In the Mouth of Madness
Fallen
One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest kinda
I'm presuming you're looking for "bad guys win" endings not "shitty endings"
>>71667018
Chinatown
The Descent
repomen
>>71667074
Yeah that's what I meant. One flew was the good stuff. Will check the others
>>71667074
Thanks will look into them
Lars von Trier is great at bad endings
Dancer in the Dark, Europa, Nymphomaniac, Melancholia ...
>>71667018
The Departed
>>71667117
Thanks, Chinatown looks nice
>>71667018
Odd Thomas.
>>71667018
it depends on your perspective
resolutions are not always pretty
but these are open to that interpretation
Just watch any film you want and switch it off before the resolution i.e. whiplash after fletcher's like 'do you think i'm an idiot' and andrew looks worried
>>71667363
>>71667396
It's mostly just depressing all over.
The ending can go either way though.
Probably still bad.
>>71667374
That's actually a very good idea
>>71667419
>>71667018
leviathan
It's a bit of a pleb filter, desu
>>71667074
>In the Mouth of Madness
Event Horizon too.
I fucking love sam neil
>>71667453
>>71667430
Yeah I have seen this one, this is one of those movies that actually make you sad for the entire day because it's so depressing lol
>>71667482
>>71667363
I'm definitely going to watch this one, thank you anon
>>71667485
I remember seeing this in theatre.
Beginning everyone was just happy chatty.
But everyone walked out in silence.
>>71667528
The Good Shepherd
A Most Wanted Man
Chinatown
Sicario
Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia
The Wild Bunch
Any Macbeth interpretation (but Kurzel's, Kurosawa's and Welles' are my favorites)
Ran
Melancholia
>>71667542
Yeah that's pretty awesome. And a lot of people think that being silent after a movie is a bad thing, I think it's a great compliment for the director.
The Mist
>>71667610
Thanks for your sweet list, I'll definitely watch some of those
Black Christmas
Paths of Glory (mostly)
Barton Fink
Inside Llewyn Davis
Night on the Galactic Railroad
Night of the Living Dead
Vertigo
Nobody mentioned Brazil?
>>71667734
Why? He gets away in the end.:^)
>>71667285
Looks interesting, will look into this
>>71667465
This one didn't end that bad, right?
Seven of coarse
Unforgiven kinda
>>71667300
Yeah that one is God tier
>>71667946
Well...Main character and his wife are killed. The killer gets away. Another character monologues a bit about how all the goodness and justice in the world has gone.
That sounds pretty bad to me
Guys i need help finding a movie
>Young, coming if age film (ish)
>Made in mid to late 90s (at least it has that feel)
>several boys, one girl
>involves a train track bridge, i think someone dies on it at some point
>they sneak on to some guys land and break into his barn (i think bc they suspect him of killing a girl or something)
>the 'trouble maker' kid finds some dynamite or something
>the girl has sex with one of the boys
>he gets distant and she says the line "we just made love, bro"
>the guy whos barn theyre sneaking into finds them and they hit him on the head with a shovel i think
>they think they killed him and try to bury him or something
Thats all i remember, and im fuzzy on even those facts. Anybody have anything?
Filth
The Pawnbroker
Leaving Las Vegas
The Wicker Man
Sorta random, but that's all I can remember for now.
>>71668039
Stand By Me?
Hyena has a pretty ballsy ending that I really liked. Has anyone here seen it?
>mfw
>>71667734
I came in here to check, then say that.
Brazil.
More like a downer ending but whatever.
>>71667074
>Fallen
The ending is a little insulting to the audience to be honest and I support downer endings too.
fuck you why do you wanna watch bad ending movies? kys cunt
>>71667018
Blood Diamond.
Never Let Me Go.
Remains of The Day.
>>71668071
Nah, its newer than that and theres a girl in the group
>>71667348
One of the best bad endings in a film ever. Polanski really had to fight to have it included, too.
>>71667018
what kind of sucks about this question is you ruin the ending for yourself
knowing what happens isn't very fun
>>71668381
Yeah that's true, but I also don't want to watch almost every single movie there is, only to find a few movies with bad endings
>>71667430
The ending made me angry because it showed that when they were in the bunker they could stayed and been ok.
Atonement
Incendies (the bad ending to end all bad endings, really)
Shutter Island
Chinatown
Les Diaboliques
La Strada
Bicycle Thieves
The Great Escape (technically)
The Green Mile (oddly dark ending)
American History X
Dead Man's Shoes
District 9
Dog Day Afternoon
Rain Man
Sleuth
Sunset Boulevard (the quintessential bad ending movie)
The Killing
The Seventh Seal (another quintessential one)
>>71667018
Buried
>>71667419
This
>>71668059
>Leaving Las Vegas
That shit's just depressing in general.
Why is tragedy such an attractive narrative?
>>71668538
>District 9
Why do you say that? The movie wants us to root for the aliens.
>>71668573
Yeah that one is really unexpected lol love it
anything by
>>71667348
You haven't seen Chinatown? Holy shit close this thread now and go watch it.

How did I forget to mention Threads?
The single best bad ending to a film in existence.
>>71668616
Well, it's more abouthow the main character will forever be a prawn and cast off from his own society, never to know or be loved again by the people who knew him. His entire existence, probably, just surviving as best he can, but he can never go back to his own life. It's quite reminiscent of a Hans Christian Andersen story, actually.
>>71667300
Beat me to it
>>71667396
This had a real bittersweet ending, ordinary people is badass
>>71668594
Ernest Hemingway once said
'Every true story ends in death.'
Obligatory
This.
After all the praise this movie gets I was severely disappointed and the ending is more of a "serves you right, you stupid cunt" thing.
>>71668793
Great movie, I still feel like even though it ends bad, he was kind of asking for it yeah.
>>71668793
He was a completely edgy cunt though, to be fair. He got exactly what he deserved in the end. Still a pretty good film all in all though.
>>71667734
Thirded, I didn't even like it but how the fuck did no one say it??
>>71668936
Yeah I agree. It felt like it was actually his plan to stay in the wild, just waiting for a moment where he would be forced to stop.
Cabin in the Woods.
>>71667018
Ex Machina
>>71669856
>evil manipulative males die
>woman liberated
>bad ending
does not fempute
>>71667018
bad ending as in unhappy? Awakenings is a huge fucking slap in the face. One of the rare movies that actually made me cry a lot of manly tears
3:10 To Yuma
Not bad in the sense that the movie sucks. The ending was great. But nobody wins.
The prestige
>>71670296
Seems like Russell Crowe won since his horse picked him up in the end
>>71670374
what? he perfected his time travel and just kept pulling himself 1 second into the past to finish The Prestige™
Bonnie & Clyde
No mention of Funny Games? Videodrome is also a good one.
>>71667018
Martyrs
Happiness
Brazil
Kids
Rocket Science
Braindead (Bill Paxton and Bill Pullman
>>71670471
I was under the impression that he wanted Bale to win (because he could have just escaped from prison anyway), which was why he got butthurt and shot his right hand man after that guy killed Bale.
We Need to Talk About Kevin
Depressing all the way through
>>71667018
Europa
I Saw the Devil
Yellow Sea
Buried
Easy Rider
>>71671139
[spoilers]She's smiling at the end so that means it's a happy ending[/spoiler]
>>71671270We can argue that she achieved some kind of liberation at the end, but come on. She sold her soul for Satan and her entire family is gone.
The Pledge

The Assassination of Richard Nixon.

Black Orpheus
Come and See

Because of the character arc they go through. They start low, achieve something then lose it all.
>>71667018
A Serious Man
Requiem for a Dream
No Country for old Men
Fargo
Actually, a lot of Coen movies got you covered
>>71667734
>Bad Ending>I'm afraid he's gotten away from us, Jack
comic as fuck desu
>>71667482
it's not bad if you fall asleep before the end
Really? Nobody mentioned Dr. Strangelove yet?
French Connection
Saving Private Ryan
>>71673991
The French Connection doesn't have a bad ending as much as it has an appropriate one. It fits the aesthetic perfectly desu. It's beyond good or bad.
Brazil; The Mist
>No horror movies
Fuck you go watch The Mist.
>>71668936
he wasnt a completely edgy cunt, he was depressed and made the mistake of giving up a great life that was given to him, but he still respected the people he met and was a good person
honestly youre the edgy cunt for thinking people deserve to die for something like this
