Great movie endings

[mrbasehart]

woo, that reminds me... The Mist.

Oh man!

I didn't know how i felt about that!  I just kind of turned off the DVD and stared into a blue screen for a while.... 

Really?  I loved the ending, fell off my chair laughing.

Same here.  Call me immature or whatever, but it was bloody hilarious.

Oh, also, I'm Not There, when Richard Gere picks up the guitar.

That was great.

No one's mentioned Casablanca?!? That's got to be one of the most famous endings in movie history.  It's also a pretty great one.

Gets me everytime

Wow, good point.

While we're at it, we should throw in the endings we jokingly mentioned over in the Dead Space thread, Planet of the Apes and Citizen Kane. Both epicly classic endings.

Mettropolis - when Freder gets the Master of Metropolis and the Worker to shake hands.

King Kong - the original "Twas Beauty Killed the Beast"

The Third Man - When she doesn't even look at him and keeps walking

All About Eve

Monty Python and the Holy Grail

Monty Python's Life of Brian

Shadow of the Vampire

Targets (Karloff - check it out sometime)

The Thing From Another World ("Keep watching the skies!")

I'll think of more.

I've got a really shitty movie with a fantastic ending. In Dreams with Kevin Spacey.

The build up was dull and the premise ridiculous, but in a strange twist it manages to pull off a wonderfully satisfying conclusion.

Still haven't seen it but having read a synopsis it sounded like it could be pretty funny on the screen.

I certainly think the non-US audiences would be more likely to laugh.  Everyone I've spoken to at work who's seen it had the same response as me.

It's bathetic isn't it? Bathos seems to work for British and commonwealth nations better than it does for American ones on the whole I think

Even if it was unintentional bathos. Which of course is the original and the best.

I was one of the ones who was really shaken by it (though I must admit, that music really didn't help. Seemed fairly out of place). A bit odd as I think about it, considering my twisted sense of humor. But whatever, I still thought it was a great ending to a great movie.

Anyway, one I keep forgetting whenever this particular subject of great endings is brought up:

Witness for the Prosecution. Every time I watch this one it gets me, mainly because it gets me thinking "Damn that's a good twist". It helps that I really love courtroom movies, and with the excellent part of the lawyer, it all added up to an incredible film.

'About Schmidt'

The last 10 seconds alone should have earned Nicholson the Oscar

Bah!  Was not a fan of that movie. 

Nice avatar btw.

I'm not a huge fan of the movie although I did enjoy it, but I still found the ending incredibly powerful.  The whole thing is a build up to the last 2 minutes
