On the Beach. The end of the world as seen from Australia.
Re: Movies that have bad/sad endings or that may have loose ends
With that in mind there is also,
The Last Wave
Which is about a tsunami wave about to hit Australia.
Ohter disaster movies could include…
Deep Impact
2012
Earthquake
Independence Day
Cloverfield
Even though there are survivors there is still a lot of loss of life and destruction on the way to the "hopeful" ending.

The Last Wave is one of my favorite movies of all time.

Cool!
Always nice to find someone who has also seen a rare movie.
Yeah, it is a good one.
I have seen it at least twice.
Might be time for another re-watch soon.

Love that film!
😺 Schrodinger's Cat walks into a bar, and doesn't. 🤨 Let's go, Brandon! 🤨 Try that in a small town.

I'd always heard The Champ (1979) was a film with one of the saddest endings ever.

I recently saw The Guardian (2006). Main character sadly dies at the end. But I thought it was very fitting the way they chose to end it: if they'd tried to pull some sort of Hollywood happy-ending plot twist at the end, I probably would've puked.
I guess one of the best bad/sad endings from my recollection is the ending of Thunderbolt and Lightfoot (1974).
Another one with a good bad/sad ending is Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969).

Re: Movies that have bad/sad endings or that may have loose ends
I agree with your two choices for those anti establishment movies of that era.
Two others could also be that both feature Dustin Hoffman on a bus are:
Midnight Cowboy
The Graduate
Not really sad but we dunno what they are going to do next.
Another is Bonnie and Clyde
Even though they are both outlaws we fall in love with them, like fans do with Hannibal, and hate to see them meet what amounted to as an illegal execution just like Butch and Sun.

Broken Flowers.
Without strife, your victory has no meaning.
Without strife, you do not advance.
Without strife, there is only stagnation.

Message in a Bottle
Movies that have bad/sad endings or that may have loose ends
List and describe them if you wish.
The Mist
A man shoots and kills four survivors thinking that monsters will kill them all.
He runs out of bullets and cannot take his own life but then the troops arrive killing the monsters a couple minuets later meaning he did not have to kill the survivors. One of whom was his young boy son.
White Men Can't Jump
The girlfriend of Woody Harrelson leaves him again and probably for good this time.
The Break Up
Nuff said.
Scarecrow
One of the two men, Al Pacino, ends up catatonic and is sent away to a mental hospital.
We never find out what happens to him after that.
Fallen
The spirt of an evil demon gets away after it has killed others and the hero fails to stop it.
Brightburn
An evil alien kid with superhero powers kills his foster parents, and others, and is not stopped and gets away.
What other titles are there?
