Mad Max Fury Road. They defeat the tyrant, and get the control of the water valves. Then they open the valves and seemingly keep them open. One problem, how long is the water reservoir gonna last now?

Logan's Run. The city dwellers are freed from the computer's iron-fisted rule, and Carrousel. But their city is in ruins, and thinks to the computer providing everything. They don't know how to live without it. The city dwellers are going to start dying off real fast.

The ending of 'Inception' is the big hol-up moment. It kind of happy, but we're not getting the answer how real it is.

The ending of 'The Sopranos' is very 'happy-not-happy'. Despite speculations

spoiler

did was Tony killed or not

. I mean, he is main character, and still he is a mafia boss, so could there be really good ending?

I also think that the happy ending of the 'E.T.' not happy at all. Even if federal government would be good to them, how would those children live their normal lives after all those events?

The ending of Makoto Shinkai's 'Weathering with you' is kinda happy but for real is definitely not. The main couple is together but the price of it is Tokyo drowned.

Wasn't it in the end of Inception that the wheel or whatever wobbles which meant that they're still in a dream? I feel like I remember thinking that the ending isn't real due to it.

Exactly but I think it’s opposite. The top kept spinning, seemingly endlessly, which wouldn’t happen in real life.
