Spoiler: Se7en: the antagonist confronts the protagonist with the severed head of his pregnant wife. the protagonist snaps, and kills the antagonist in cold blood, and is arrested for murder.
No Country for Old Men: the protagonist dies (off screen, nonetheless), and the serial killer antagonist gets away with a broken arm
Pan's Labyrinth: The 10-year-old-girl protagonist's mother dies in childbirth bearing her stepfather a son. She tries to run away with the baby, the father follows her, takes the baby from her, and shoots her dead

Spoiler: in an awesome montage, all four main character's lives go to shit due to drugs. One becomes a prostitute, one ends up in jail, one has an arm amputated in a prison infirmary from infected track marks, one loses her mind, gets commited to a mental hospital, and subjected to electroshock.

Spoiler: 3:10 to Yuma, although not unexpected--the plucky underdog father who fights against the odds to survive a hard journey and earn his family desperately needed money succeeds at his dangerous task, and is unexpectedly gunned down in front of his son afterwards
The Mist--apparently an end of the world disaster movie, the protagonist is traveling with 3 people plus his son. he finds his dead wife, they see no signs of other people surviving the disaster, so they decide to end it. They have one gun, so he kills his son and the other three, but is out of bullets when he tries to kill himself. Immediately afterwards, soldiers appear to fight the disaster, meaning he just killed his young son for no reason.

Anyone put enough thought into Hard Candy enough to think about the implications of the ending? I definitely wouldn't class it as 'happy'

Spoiler: Seven pounds: the protagonist sets up the whole movie lining up organ doners from himself to commit suicide as an act of penance.
Hard candy: another movie that ends in suicide, although the line between antagonist and protagonist is blurred
