The 27 Most Devastating Endings in Film History According to Yardbarker

Over four decades ago, Peter Weir devastated audiences worldwide with the final scene of his World War I masterpiece, "Gallipoli." It takes courage to do this to moviegoers. "It's a great movie, but the ending is too sad to bear" is a mixed bag when it comes to word-of-mouth - which is why classic tearjerkers like "Titanic", "Terms of Endearment" and "The Iron Giant" end on moments of hope. The 27 movies on this list eschew such half-measures. They go hard. They leave you battered, if not completely broken. So pull out a box of tissues, and let's relive some of the most traumatizing endings of all time.
