I should have known that calling "Bean: The Movie" a cinematic masterpiece would draw backlash.

 

Revised list-

 

Non-Tarantino, non-Kaufman, non-DeNiro, non-Stanley Kubrick, non-Marty S., non-Raul Julia- Top Five.

 

Black Hawk Down, Pleasantville, Road to Perdition, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind..

 

..and Romero. Okay, so I lied about Raul Julia. :wub:

Best endings:

 

1. The Shawshank Redemption

2. Heat

3. Planes, Trains and Automobiles

4. Romero (I couldn't say the ending left me thrilled since it's based on a true story, but the way it was shot was excellent)

5. The Shining

 

I also dug the endings to Goodfellas, Road to Perdition and 2001: A Space Odyssey was beautiful even though I had NO idea what the hell was going on.
