Which ending is better?

Between Happy endings or unhappy endings, which do you prefer?
Personally, I prefer unhappy endings, but mostly because when they do happy endings it seems a bit forced. But a lot of times an unhappy ending can be even more forced. But if it were between a movie with a happy ending done right and an unhappy ending done right, I'd have to go with the unhappy ending.
But neutral endings are best IMO. Like Almost Famous or Taxi Driver or Lost in Translation. Open endings are good, too.

I'd have to say unhappy are better, but only because so many movies are happy endings, it's nice to see an end where everything goes to shit... Eventhough they usually make me feel uncomfortable heh.

As for open endings I can't stand them. I hate not knowing what happens in the end, which is why I don't read science fiction :P heh.

A great unhappy ending is the movie TAPS
Tom Cruise gets his ass slaughtered in his first role.

Speaking of Tom Cruise, I watched Cast Away the other day again cuz it was on TV. Man.. stuck on an island for four years, and a picture of the woman you love was the only thing that kept you going. Then to come home and find out she's already married another, and has a kid... That would be fucking pain..
