He was rewarded like a hero too. He didn't have to move away nd he got the girl at the end! Had a home and a family.
Also Aragorn is crowned King of Gondor and marries Arwen.

Just like Sergeant York.

The African Queen.Back to the Future

True Romance
Desperado
Trading Places
Rocky
Speed

3:10 to Yuma 2007/1958-Christian Bale & Van Heflin got to go home with the money to pay the bills to keep his home, his wife & his kids.

Winchester '73 Do you Jimmy Stewart seetle down with Shelley Winters at the end?

Did Josey Wales live happily ever after Laura Lee?

Who doesn't like a happy ending?

Would like to note, I was very disappointed when Jason Robards died, instead of living happily ever after, with Claudia Cardinale in Once Upon a Time in the West (1969
