Depends on the movie/game/book/etc. Generally I like happy endings, but if done right a bittersweet to even bad can be great.

I'd say Chinatown (spoilers just in case) has one of the best endings of a movie ever and it's a super downer ending.

The Wire has some good endings for some characters, some horrible endings for some characters, and bittersweet ones as well. They all feel correct even if we don't like seeing those characters end up that way. A show like that having one big happy ending would make no sense.

I'm also with the idea of good endings being earned. A lot are just lazy.
