Greatest Movie Endings

[kev20]

The End: the best movie endings ever, from E.T. to Casablanca - Times Online

Would have had to complain if The Usual Suspects wasn't on the list.

 

[Chemvol]

A completely illegitimate list w/o any Hitchcock on it.

A completely illegitimate list w/o any Hitchcock on it. I'm also surprised The Sixth Sense was excluded.

the sixth sense made #10.

 

[Chemvol]

the sixth sense made #10.

Yeah, I missed it the first time thru. My bad.

I'll also add that while I'm a huge Hitchcock fan (Vertigo and North by Northwest being my favorites), I don't know that the endings were all the spectacular. Dramatic, yes, but no twists or surprises that really caught me off guard. His movies were just great traditional 3 piece Hollywood movies from beginning to end.

I think I would have included Psycho.

My favorite is Rear Window.

 

[volfanbill]

Psycho is good obviously, but i guess it's just too cliche to pick it.

I'm big fans of James Stewart and Grace Kelly yet I had totally forgotten about Rear Window. Grace Kelly also reminds me of To Catch a Thief, another top notch Hitchcock movie...

But I think I better stop before we totally hijack this thread.

 

[MG1968]

I'll add a couple...

Master and Commander, The Far Side of the World

The Princess Bride (especially when Inigo Montoya finishes off the 6-fingered man)

Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade

Rocky Balboa

 

[volinbham]

What about No Country for Old Men - it had a unique ending.

 

[OrangeEmpire]

DOOFY BEING THE KILLER IN SCARY MOVIE I!

 

[MG1968]

the ending of Thelma and Louise sucked.

 

[Jaytrain5]

Arlington Road had a good ending.

 

[checkerboard_charly]

Babe

 

[volinbham]

The ending of half-baked was good - especially when that joint was talking to him...

 

[VOLatile]

American History X? The most moving ending to a move that I have ever seen.

 

[Chemvol]

the ending of Thelma and Louise sucked.

You're disappointed that it was just a movie.

 

[duckman398686]

no godfather part I?

 

[MG1968]

I don't really care that they threw themselves off the cliff, but it was a damn shame to take the car with them.

 

[Lexvol]

The ending of "Seven" hasn't been mentioned yet. That ending shook me up a bit.

Um, I believe it was mentioned in the article @ #20.

 

[KCVolLaw]

Where is Layer Cake? Never have I had more of a "HOLY S@%!, I can't believe that just happened" ending.

 

[kev20]

I really need to see that movie. Is in my queue.
