1. City Lights (1931)
The famous ending which is also bit ambiguous. Can we be sure The Tramp and the flower girl continue living life together? Or is it possible that flower girl was disappointed after she saw him because he didn't look like what she thought he would? I'd like to believe she was not maybe shocked but just very very surprised because maybe she wasn't really expecting him to show up again.
