I rather liked Butterfly Effect despite my hatred of Kutcher.

As for Session 9.....yes, go see it now.  It is by far one of the best horror films in 20 years.

The First Power has an ambiguous ending.  Lou Diamond Philips is in the hospital with the lady psychic and then she dreams of him coming out of his slumber as the killer adn then it ends leaving you to wonder what will happen.

Along a similar vein is Fallen.  They tell you the ending at the beginning but of course you don't know it until the end.  The whole cat allowing the evil spirit to continue on was unexpected.

187 also ends on a down note

This one might seem odd but I saw "The Enforcer" with Clint Eastwood a couple of days ago and thought it ended on a down note.

Sure, Tyne Daly died but that was to be expected as all his partners don't do too well once he gets to like them. What do you think was so down about blowing the guy out of the tower? Or did you just think that because of Tyne Daly?

Yeah your right his partners not doing well but what I thought was the downer was that Harry and Tyne were the only ones that trying to fight back to get the mayor back meanwhile just about everyone else was going to pay them. Then the helicopter at the end added insult to injury by flying over saying they have the money to pay and while poor Tyne laid dead as well as the mayors comment about Harry getting a award.

Maybe I am thinking to much into it but I felt their was no justice done and it felt like it ended on a sour note.

I havn't read the whole topic so this might have already been mentioned.

The ending of Godzilla (at least the american version) was of victory, but it had a price tag attached to it.

The Return of the Living Dead ending wasn't that promising.

I have to agree with Skaboi and Odinn7 here - Session 9 was a helluva good movie.  

After having watched the 2004 Dawn of the Dead again today, it has a dark ending......getting to the island and then realizing they're f**ked regardless.

The Grudge.  Gotta love it.  Everybody dies because the evil is just bigger than they are.

I've always felt the ending should depend on the story and its development... I don't think zombie movies should always have bleak endings, nor do I believe action movies should always have "happy" endings where the bad guy always dies. I actually liked the way the following movies ended:

White Men Can't Jump

The Thing (John Carpenter's version)

Animal House

2001

Godzilla: Tokyo SOS

Christine

The Blair Witch Project

Sex and Zen

Godzilla: Final Wars

The Blob (the original version, of course)

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
