Toshiaki Koala 0 Report post Posted September 29, 2003 Regardless of how good the rest of the movie was, what film(s) that you've seen had the best/most memorable ending? There's the obvious Casablanca Heat Unforgiven Bonnie and Clyde White Heat The Usual Suspects Everyone seems to love the ending of Chinatown, and while it's a great movie, I thought the conclusion was grim and anticlimactic.

Nighthawk 0 Report post Posted September 29, 2003 Cube. To me, there's no better ending than that from a stylistic point of view. Texas Chainsaw Massacre. The chainsaw dance is probably my single favorite image in film. Cemetary Man. Made me say "Damn." out loud. And on the fun side, Jason Goes to Hell. edit: and Day of the Dead. Not so much the very ending, but you can't beat the orgy of violence directly preceding it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Mindless_Aggression Report post Posted September 29, 2003 American History X. I loved the movie up till the ending but then I saw the "shiny happy ending" on the horizon and thought of how out of place it was gonna be. Then Danny got his chest blown out. Great ending that caught me off guard and yet fit the story perfectly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kahran Ramsus 0 Report post Posted September 29, 2003 recently, i really liked the ending of Terminator 3. Recently I liked the ending to Matrix: Reloaded. Nothing like a good old-fashioned cliffhanger to get me interested in the next installment. Reminds me of the old serials. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ISportsFan 0 Report post Posted September 29, 2003 Begnini's Life is Beautiful, the story about a family in a concentration camp. I always loved that ending.

Nevermortal 0 Report post Posted September 29, 2003 Cemetary Man. Made me say "Damn." out loud. I agree with IDRM here. I still have no idea what it means. Good ones- The deleted ending of Clerks is cool. Full Metal Jacket's ending is UBER creepy. Spoiler (Highlight to Read): A bunch of soldiers walking away from charred and still burning rubble while singing the Mickey Mouse Club song. Wicked. Mr. Deeds, because I was so happy that it was over. Fargo's ending is satisfying because everyone gets theirs... Spoiler (Highlight to Read): and Frances McDormand is left to tend to her baby with her husband; and everyone's content. I like it. Schindler's List. Powerful as all hell.

Yeah you can. I had heard rumblings about the ending before I ever saw it, but if you watch it with people who haven't seen it, the collective gasp makes it all worthwhile. Plus, I was still frozen in shock/disgust by it despite having had it near-spoiled. Also, it's fun to pick up on the subtle hints leading to the payoff.

eiker_ir 0 Report post Posted September 29, 2003 The Evil Dead, starting in the woods, the force goes through all the doors in the cabin and ''kills'' Ash. In the DVD commentaries they say that's because in this movie everyone and everything dies. If you listen to the music in the credits, it starts all happy and then turns all haunting and creepy. Same thing about eveything dying Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
