Your favorite movie ending?

No votes for Inception?

 

Glad somebody else enjoyed Finding Forrester. Empire?? Are you talking about the one with John Leguizamo?

 

2001: A Space Odyssey

*SPOILER*

Luxurious hotel room, monolith in front of bed, rapid aging, and then, a child floating in outer space.

 

Hannah and Her Sisters

After this set-up epiphany, great in its own right:

The end:

The Woody Allen character, impotent according to all medical science, finds love/marries the Dianne Wiest character. The last scene is a Norman Rockwell family reunion, in which Dianne Wiest reveals that she is, in fact, pregnant.

Woody Allen's face. Either the universe has provided a miracle--faith and hope-- or his wife is unfaithful, deceitful--the worst he believed about humanity is true.

A little half smile, the briefest of recognitions.

Fade to black.

Nobody's perfect.

 

Departed was awesome, but I'm going to have to second whoever posted THE MIST

I laughed hysterically the first time I saw it.

 

This one takes it for me

A good money shot caps off a movie nicely.

 

Lock stock and two smoking barrels, love how the final scene intertwines all the running stories together.

Not sure if it was GOAT but I liked it, same with Inception, I lol'd.

 

Ah sorry...Empire Strikes Back

 

Can't say these are my favorite, but thought more classics need mention:

Casablanca
North by Northwest
Suddenly Last Summer (incredible scream by Liz Taylor)

 

Not sure if anything will ever top Shawshank in my book, but 'Alive' gets me every time.

Pugs

 

This.

 

it's come up before, and I'll post it again...

Shawshank has probably the most satisfying ending.

The ending of Gladiator is pure art.

 

ok, so i read the novella way before the movie, so never watched the movie, because King's movies are usually not that good.

From the book, I can't remember a great ending. what happened?

ok, again, what happened? the last fight scene. How can the last scene of that movie be better than the first scene? I guess I remember the first scene much more vividly, because there was a dog involved.

 

Right. That was in the book.

Still say escaping from Casablanca was much better.

 

What happens at the end that was so good, all I remember is that they all wake up.

 

Probably the best !@#$ you! ever captured on film.
