Greatest endings to a film

[Tuco]

Mullholland Drive: Silencio.

Threads.

The Vanishing (Danish original version)

Taxi Driver

Close Encounters of the Third Kind

Pretty hard to top Casablanca though.

The Revenant with LEO;the power went out; best end to that film anyway;only wish it happened earlier

One where you wish the bad guy could win for once, like law abiding citizen. But yeah a convenient power outage was a blessing in this case

Usual suspects.

Surprised it hasn't been mentioned (either that or I'm blind)

 

[Unique Name]

The Mist - With Thomas Jane

Such a s**t ending - In a good way.

I know he felt he needed to torture himself for that Oscar but did he have to torture the audience too.

Sorry if this has already been posted, if not why not?

Why can't f***ing Americans ever pull off our accent?

 

[Trucker Tiger]

The Vanishing (Danish original version)

It's Dutch but, yes, a great ending. If there were a worst endings to a film thread, the Hollywood re-make of The Vanishing would be top of the pops.

Damn it. I thought that was wrong when I typed it!

Totally agree on the remake. Awful.

I watched that with a couple of friends (I had seen it before) and

Spoiler

when the tank rolls up

a bottle of alcohol slipped out of her hand onto the hard floor and then she yelled out 'WHY DO THEY DO THIS TO PEOPLE (audience)?' And she's usually a pretty quiet person lol

Wish I had seen the movie at the cinema.

Me and my wife saw it at the movies... when the religious chick got shot the whole cinema erupted in applause.

V the final battle.

Those last 5 minutes were awesome.

"No, what you have is bullets, and the hope that I'm not standing anymore when you run out of them" or whatever he says to that effect.

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid



Been mentioned but not shown, Planet of the Apes (1968)



The Wizard of Oz



Five Came Back (1939) remade as Back from Eternity (1956) both directed by John Farrow

Robert Aldrich's Attack (1956)

Earth vs the Flying Saucers (1956) with Ray Harryhausen special effects

The Ox-Bow Incident

How good is the ending to Ox-Bow Incident? Remember seeing this as a young teen, completely absorbed by 30's and 40's movies and this still sticks with me 30 years after first seeing it.

 

[Tuco]

Don't look Now and the 70's Invasion of The Body Snatchers had endings you woke up thinking about the next day.

Very few movies are seminal, this is one of them.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Usual Suspects
Saw
Memento
Se7en
The Departed

I loved Inception and Shutter Island too

 

[PhatBoy]

Whoever said The Mist was spot on. That was a great flick.

Django was fantastic as well I thought.

 

[I bleed Blue]

The ending to the first Saw movie was a great twist.

 

[PhatBoy]

Not that it was a twist at all but I absolutely loved the end of The Two Towers. The two hobbits walking into the unknown towards the smoke and fire of Mordor unaware of what Smeagol is leading them to, followed by that f***ing spooky mystical Kate Bush-Esque song

The end of the Helms Deep battle, the Ents marching on Isengard, and the hobbits fleeing Osgiliath followed by Sam's monologue. Brilliant.

All this.

Mind you, I could pick any moment from the 12 or so hours of footage across the trilogy and it would be just as fantastic

Yeah, but the way everything came together in that ending was a work of art. Whilst the ending of Return of the King isn't as bad as made out, it could have learned some things. Truly epic yet at the same time closed the movie out without feeling like a cheap cliffhanger, ala Force Awakens for instance.

Absolutely...that scene where the Hobbits frolic on the bed with Gandalf notwithstanding.

Hahaha yeah that 'Gaaaaandddddaaaalllllfffffff?' but was pretty average I'll grant you
