Most recently I have listened to the scoring done by Brian Tyler for the movie Bubba Ho-Tep, and it quite nearly fits the described query of this thread's title (I just don't cry because my cojones are fully functional, thank you very much. You pansy girls).
It's certainly not a downer of a melody, but a whistful one that is filled with the pang of homesickness and lost regret. Taking into account the themes of the movie, the music underscores that struggle between the Death of Hope and the Hope beyond Death.
Which is not bad, considering that I can describe the movie as "...the story of Elvis joining forces with JFK to combat an ancient supernatural evil..." and not be cast a liar. Much like how Donnie Darko is a movie "...about a dead guy in a rabbit suit who travels back in time to deliver portents of doom to a psychologically-disturbed suburbanite teen." Blurbs can be so mis-leading. Especially if you deliberately craft them so. ;)

Political Correctness is the idea that you can foster tolerance in a diverse world through the intolerance of anything that strays from a clinical standard.
