    Typically I prefer a concrete ending. I find that most ambiguous endings come across as lazy writing.

    But there are exceptions, 2001 had an ambiguous ending and I loved it.

    True
    but the Ambiguous endings seem to be easier to f*** up

    I like endings when the police show up after everything has been resolved. And then the hero kisses the girl on the back of an ambulance.

    i'd like to say this, but i can't think of any movie other than lost in translation, which imo delivered.

    I like endings shown early and then everything come together of how it began. Kind of like Pulp Fiction.

    My all time favorite movie endings are when the movie is so good that directors know what they have when filming and end the movie in a way to leave it open for a sequel. Then when the sequel comes out its absolute **** and they end the movie. Those are my favorites.
