"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Movies where protagonist dies?

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Technically RoboCop.

Terminator (first one) if you think Kyle or the T-100 count as protagonists.

I am Legend - although there was a director's cut ending where everybody lived.

In the original script for Natural Born Killers, both Mickey and Mallory die at the end, killed by the Owen guy who helps them escape prison. They left the foreshadowing scenes in the movie though.

Bruce Willis dies at the end of Armageddon. Tom Cruise dies at the end of Oblivion. Arnie dies at the end of Christine.

OP, there's actually quite a few
I guess I shouldve mentioned Im looking only for dramas. Nevertheless thanks for the list as I see many I should watch.
Its interesting how almost all movies where the main character dies are pretty highly rated. Maybe thats the secret to a good movie? I think this is why Shakespeare's tragedys are also so popular. They should definetly make more like these.

technically tom cruise didn't die in oblivion, cause he was a clone, and his other clone came back
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

If you want to watch some seriously f'd up movies, that don't follow the traditional Hollywood "happy ending" check out some of the Korean thrillers / horror movies on Netflix.

Off the top of my head..

Chaser
I Saw The devil
Bedeviled

There's also plenty of indies on netflix that don't follow normal hollywood structure, but you've got to wade through a lot of crap to find them.

Hmmm, imagine that.....every movie with a guy that portrays masculinity, he ends up dead.

Movie ain't reality, gents.
