Compiling a list of masculine movie heroes who don't have the Hollywood romance - don't get the girl - for a project I'm working on. Need a few more, and would love to hear your thoughts. So far I have:

Tom Doniphon - The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance
James Bond - he never ends up long term with the girl
Tristan Ludlow - Legends of The Fall
Harvey Specter - Suits (yes, it's not a movie, but one of the few TV series I've watched and works for my purposes)

Didn't Tristan Ludlow have the girl but left her?

Yes, and then even winds up getting married to another and they seemingly have a happy life (for a while). But she dies early on.

Essentially I'm looking for male movie heroes who don't have a happy romantic ending.

If you exclude #4, Indiana Jones fits in the same James Bond kind of way.

Thor: Ragnarok
Most of the Mission: Impossible movies
Van Helsing
Blade 1 and 2 (never saw 3)


I'll try and keep thinking. This is an interesting one!

Jack Burton, Big Trouble in Little China, EOT.

The girl offers to come on the road with him and he shuts her down.

"Prime" Helen Hunt was still about a 6.

Does John McClane count?

Chewbacca should be considered, though looking back I'm surprised RJ didn't make him non-binary in TLJ.

Not sure if it fits the criteria of the OP but Joe Bradley (Gregory Peck), Roman Holiday.

Dumb and Dumber. Lloyd doesn't get Mary Samsonite AND they miss out on the bikini bus tours. Truly one of cinema's tragic endings.
