The 8 Most Bittersweet Movie Endings of All Time, Ranked

If an ending’s bitter, then it’s a bummer, basically. If you want an example, uh, Romeo and Juliet? Like, everyone knows how that ends. It’s not really spoilable. But it might be unfair to throw something that’s not quite as old at you, without warning, and tell you it ends on a bleak note. As for movies with happy/sweet endings? They're a lot more common. Watch any movie at random, and there’s a probably better-than-average chance it'll end on an uplifting note.
