Spoiler:
The film should've ended with John being locked up and framed for the murder.
I actually think he did just that.

I need to watch MR again, 'cause I didn't get that as the ending.

Does An American Werewolf In London count?

Although, in the interest of full disclosure, the ending makes me chuckle.

Spoiler:
I believe the fan theory is once Cruise is locked up he dreams that he solves the case and it is a happy ending but in reality is still locked up. I'd be both amazed and impressed if that is really Speilberg's vision.

Huh? It might not have been the most uplifting ending, but it was far from defiant. When I started the thread about a year ago I meant, and still do, unhappy endings that come almost out of left field and take you by surprise.

Young kid forced to move in with his rich retarded father after his mom dies of AIDS. He'll be too embarrassed to have his friends over, plus he see's dead people.

"Welcome to the Dollhouse" was a cheery movie. Not.

It's not all that severe, but the ending of Bette Midler's STELLA disturbed me greatly for some reason.
