**Possible Spoilers**

For my mass media class we're in the film part and I've been assigned to find some movies with very tragic endings. We're not talking Cruel Intenteions or Walk to Remember here.....stuff like Requiem for a Dream or Seven. Got any more I could use?

Arlington Road is the first one that springs to mind for me. Very depressing ending.

I don't think that's exactly a sad ending. Not a happy one either.

Ummm, well, given it's context, let alone it's style and mood, I think it can safely be called "sad".

For some reason I just don't see that ending as truly sad. It kinda positive to me. Anyway I pick:

The Fly(86)
The House Of Usher
Monty Python And The Holy Grail

Shit, I must of caught BCV's mental block.
