The Last of the Mohicans - Now, I'm not sure if many people will consider this having a "bad" or a "good" ending either way—it's a pretty nebulous closing. But, with what occurred in the span of 20-30 minutes prior, up until Chingachgook's speech of the title's namesake, (in that he is the last of his people) it's just heartbreaking. Everyone dies (save for "the lovers"). Valiantly, yes they meet their end, but it progressively gets worse from when Col. Edmund Munro is assassinated at the beginning of the ambush, to when Alice has to make her decision in between a "rock and no space"; and just one by one, the family and its protectors gradually is torn apart by the war.
