Best ending to a movie?

[Cozmo]

Hey Cozmo- shared favorite endings!

I posted mine at the end and scrolled up and saw yours. Don't you feel that was a foretaste of heaven image? After the horrors of prison, and the fears of life outside to arrive in a beautiful place with a friend who loves you. If we're so moved by this in a movie how beyond words incredible will heaven be!

Allye

Good analogy and very good point. It does fit well

Fight Club is the absolute best. Perfect ending.

Agreed.

I saw Timeline last night. I liked the ending to that. Maybe not the best ending ever, but it was satisfying.

Hi

Best ending 'Ride with the Devil'

Very understated ending but one of great relevance and hope.

Also Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon has a great ending.

Les Miserables (1998) has an ending that will leave your heart soaring and thanking God for grace.

Someone else mentioned it, but it deserves repeating:
No Way Out - 1980's Kevin Costner movie. Best ending ever.

I also have to agree with Primal Fear. The subject matter was so incredibly disturbing to me that I couldn't really endorse it or recommend it to my friends, but man, what an ending.

American History X - I like sad endings

The Shawshank Redemption is a good one. One of the best movies ever, in my opinion.

Groundhog Day

 

[GL2814]

'Arlington Road' with Jeff Bridges and Tim Robbins. If you have not seen it--watch it. You will agree it is one of the best endings.

The Passion of the Christ had a very good ending!

I also really liked the ending to Spider-Man.

just to be different Troy and The Matrix-Revolutions, too many movies end on the same note. the good guy wins or something that concludes the move. both of these flicks make you think about whats going on and leve you hanging, for me i like to imagine what happend, something that you can talk about with other movie goers.

You can go with David Fincher right across the board on this one:
The Game
Seven
Fight Club
More nods to Shawshank/Memento/Usual Suspects/Vanilla Sky
Can't forget about Pulp Fiction.
Empire Strikes Back or 2001.

The Green Mile

 

[Lexluther]

No question, Casablanca had the best ending of all time. All the sudden, it seems everything your cynical side had concluded was wrong, and just when you realize how complicated things are, Ilsa and her husband are gone.

"Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow. But soon and for the rest of our lives..."

"We'll always have Paris..."

"I think this is the beginning of a very beautiful friendship..."

Finally somebody put seven! What a shocker!

Finally somebody put seven! What a shocker!

Have you ever seen the story boarded alternate ending? It's on the 2 disc SE DVD, that ending would have pushed the ending over the edge.

 

[tqpix]

Tell me what the alternate ending is. Make sure to put it between the spoiler tags.

 

[KenobiKid]

It wasn't filmed it was only story boarded, but here goes.

Morgan Freeman shoots John Doe instead of Brad Pitts character, I believe he figured he was leaving the force anyways,

Donnie Darko
