no happy ending at all - every one dies and Cosette's dad dies ON HER WEDDING DAY. the MISERABLE is RIGHT! every anniversary, she'll be reminded of that.
You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless.

There was a river of shit involved though... Not very traditionally happy, but i know what you mean.

Anyone ever see the Brown Bunny? That had a literal happy ending at the end... Kinda ironic.

This sorta does have a weird happy ending... i mean they kind of leave it open so you can decide if they continue together or not... I mean after they erased their memory, still they continue to find each other!! Whats more romantic than that? again in a weird fucked up way!

But under its own circumstances, wasn't this ending a fairly happy resolution? Same with Sling Blade, really. In both movies, the crisis resolved itself in arguably the best realistic way.
Come to think of it...those two movies are really similar thematically, too, right down to the ending.
sniff, sniff.....Great movie, though.
Maybe so. I am not a real movie buff so you may be right. I didn't think that Clint Eastwood's character dying made for such a traditional happy ending though. In my day, if he had been victorious over the gang and survived and everyone else lived happily ever after, would have been a traditional happy ending.

B..b..but... they 'will live again in freedom in the Garden of the Lord. They will walk behind the ploughshare. They will put away the sword. The chain will be broken and all men will have their reward'... Sounds like a good time to me. You're just not seeing it right.
And hey, at least Cosette gets her man in the end.

but Eponine dies! broke my heart into pieces and now I'm all alone again, nowhere to turn, no one to go to... without a home, without a friend, without a face to say hello to...
she and Cosette should have run off together to live happily ever after.

Anything that was originally written by Graham Green all others pale in comparison when it comes to to no optimism whatsoever. The penultimate is probably The Heart of The Matter. If you wish to retain any faith in humanity don't watch any but they are extremely well written.

On second thought, you're absolutely right about that. The traditional happy ending usually doesn't involve a firing squad LOL.

True, but to me Clint dying to help out the others was the way for it to end relatively happy.
Some others I loved are
