best movie ending ever

[SBTNW]

Fight Club and Basic have fantastic endings

this Basic?

if so, i strongly disagree. i didn't like the entire movie.


a great ending is the one of "Breaking The Waves"
http://www.metacritic.com/video/titles/breakingthewaves?q=breaking the waves

one of the most shocking movies ever, IMO

Apocalypse Now's ending with Marlin Brando, a machete, and The Doors. Nice!

 

[I love Cassia]

Never will forget that " OH FUCK !!!! I'VE BEEN HAD !!! " look on JEFF BRIDGES face at the end of ARLINGTON ROAD........or the sick feeling i had after :eek:

On a sentimental note " SHANE " makes the cut cos my old boy said he was moved so much by the ending ( " SHAAAAANE.....SHAAAAAAAANE !!!! " ) , that i was named so.

BURTON's " MARS ATTACKS " stands out for the sheer JOY i felt when it was over !!!! :rofl:

the departed w/ the rat runnig across the sill and who can forget the usual suspects or going back a ways the jagged edge or the end all of end alls the original psyco.

 

[scubamike]

Crank

 

[nearlyinvisible]

Back to the Future (part 1)!!

"Roads? Where we are going we need no roads"

Honorable mention: The Matrix

 

[titsrock]

"Casablanca" "The Sixth Sense" and "The Usual Suspects" come to mind for me...as well as "LA Confidential" one of my all time favorite films...

 

[SBTNW]

two of Woody Allen:

"Match Point" and "Cassandra's Dream"

both are the same finale: bloody and savage! (and i really didn't see them coming, you know)

Blade Runner and No Country for Old Men are both good. Especially as they don't end with what you think they will or what they generally should end like, but rather in accordance to the film as whole.

Not sure about it as an ending but Eastern Promises had one of the best turning points I've ever seen. Made the latter half of the film much more interesting and engaging.

But hands down the absolute best is Se7en. That movie is a masterpiece

Depending on which version of Bladrunner you watch a lot of people don't like the ending to it. I didn't like the original, but the Ridley Scott’s directors cut was better. I don't think Harison Ford liked how the original ended either.

The Happening.

what a great movie!!!
and a awesome ending:

****** SPOILER WARNING, PLEASE STOP READING IF YOU DON'T WANNA KNOW IT ******

the plants getting revenge against the humans? amazing. and possible!
it's quite frightening to know that plants can defend themselves against their natural enemies
(we have to understand that we humans are a thread to them)
and the warning they gave to us (killing a lot of people in process -in the northeastern of USA-)
is incontrovertible.

**************************** END OF THE SPOILER ****************************

and yes, i can understand why a lot of people says that the ending is like "WTF? this is it?",
but once again, you got to look for the message Shyamalan is tryin to send, not for the usual twist he does.

and of course, the best of the movie is the SPECTACULAR tension he creates during the entire movie.

 

[Apex]

not the best ever but i really liked the ending in Charley Varrick

 

[DukeLaCrosse]

the friends of eddie coyle (1973). truly terrifying

 

[Patrick_S]

Dogville

 

[SBTNW]

Dogville

of course! that's a hell of a finale. violent, real, cool. rep to you, Patrick_S

 

[Devout Pornist]

Scarface (1983)

 

[dick van cock]

Scarface (1983)

1932 maybe, 1982 definitely not ...

... the most embarrassing part is when the caption says that they dedicate this {* enter adjective of your own choice *} movie to Ben Hecht and Howard Hawks.

Hawks was a venomous snake - he would have bitten de Palma's throat had he been still alive. :1orglaugh
