Can you name me some films that don't have happy endings?!
Question: I'm looking for films in which the world isn't saved/the hero doesn't get the girl/the hero doesn't die to save the world/the Americans don't come up with a plan to save the planet, just for a change, are there any films with unhappy endings?

Many, many French films, but particularly "Lift to the Scaffold" (Ascenseur Pour L'Echafard). Miles Davis did the soundtrack for this BW film and it is well acted and filmed if depressing. The characters in it are trapped in the consequences of their actions. Since their choices were negative from the start (robbery, adultery, premeditated murder) there is no way they can have a happy ending. Many French films of the 1950's are in this class, particularly those of the Existentialist school.
Most films made in Spain and Latin America. They seem to thrive on tragedy.
