Burn After Reading.

Winner.

Also, with About Schmidt, I really enjoyed the movie, and the ending was indeed quite moving. Mostly, I think, because of his facial expression.

"Matchpoint" and "In the Bedroom" were movies I wasn't very fond of while watching until I got the ending.  That's not saying that the movies were bad before the endings, but I just wasn't that interested (especially Matchpoint, as I'm rarely interested about tales of infidelity.)

Also, as I mentioned in the scary movie moments thread, I LOVE the ending to Roman Polanski's "the Tenant".  Rent it this Halloween.

Momento, although I'm not sure if you'd count the beginning at the end or the ending as the end. ;D

Saw. 

I totally didn't see it coming and was actually kind of pissed off at what I thought was a weak ending.

Planet of the Apes (do I have to point out I mean the original?)

Targets (Karloff - check it out sometime)
Targets is such an awesome movie...  Karloff was pretty ill when he made it, but it's so good... from the scene where he's startled by his appearance in the mirror (classic!) to the end where he bitch-slaps that guy... Targets is well worth finding. Anybody who's never been to a drive-in movie should see it too...

Oh and for a classic ending, see Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry (Peter Fonda, Susan George)
