Movies with great endings...

To go with this thread.

I submit The Usual Suspects for consideration.

No Country For Old Men and Being There.

Being There is one if the best and beatifulist[sic] endings ever. It's just perfection.

The Graduate
Taxi Driver
Big Night
The Shining
Fight Club
Night of the Living Dead
Heat
Blair Witch Project

25th hour

Sanjuro.

Also, I've always found the last scene of The Terminator surprisingly moving.

That was my first thought.

+1

Monty Python and the Holy Grail

I just watched this the other night.


But my vote is for Gone With the Wind.

Or

3:10 To Yuma, that had a great ending and had me sobbing like a baby.

Or

ET

Or

V For Vendetta

Or

Leon

What a great idea for a thread.

L4YER CAKE

Donnie Darko

+1 on V for Vendetta.

Oh man, I love the ending of Layer Cake. So damn awesome. I've gotta disagree on V, though. The dead people in the crowd is a little too cheesy for me. I love the rest of the film, but that one scene still bugs me.

Another one I should have thought of right away: The Sixth Sense.

Terminator 3

One of the few scif-fi movies that I've seen that preserves the idea of temporal causality.

Yep.

I always love a good 'Screw you, audience!' gag.

There Will Be Blood.

I am actually amazed at how many people think that the ending ruined the film. If you're not a fan of unconventional humor, you probably shouldn't be watching a Monty Python film.

"All right, sonny, that's enough. Just pack that in."
"Christ!!"

The Last Waltz

Shichinin no Saumurai

Yojimbo

Kumonosu jô (Throne of Blood. i'll throw people a bone on that one's title)

Star Wars: Episode IV, A New Hope (you gotta admit, that's one of the most well known endings ever. it is one of the most referenced endings in pop culture, too. it's great because it will span the ages)

+1

speaking of which...

Life of Brian

*whistles*

That and naked Kristanna Loken are the only redeeming parts of that film.

I'd have to agree with Monty Python and The Holy Grail and Taxi Driver.

I've always loved SLC Punk too.

Kung Fu Hustle, The Big Lebowski, Things To Do In Denver When You're Dead

Very good call; I thought it ended brilliantly. Shame the preceeding 90 or so minutes are total hooey.

The Legend of Bagger Vance

Fight Club

The Birds.
