Y for Yeller

Y is for Yeller (as in Old)
I am a sucker for sob stories, but I in general love a happy ending.
It doesn’t feel complete unless there is a ride off into the proverbial sunset.
On the other hand happy endings would feel out of place with some stories, like the aforesaid Old Yeller.
Which do you prefer, happy or sad?

  1. It used to not matter to me which, but as I watch the news filled with heartache every day, I find that I can now only watch movies that end on a happy note.

  2. I prefer endings that suit the rest of the story. Few things grate me as much as sitting through pain and suffering before the writer whips out some sort of fairy godmother that makes everything better. I mean, why did everyone suffer then?
