Some of you seem to be thinking I am stating the movies I listed as what ARE classified as good movies with a crash and burn ending. They are just what were good movies to me until the end, that doesn't mean everyone else.
Another one that springs to mind is Last Samurai, I loved most of the movie, but when
While not a crash and burn, I felt Intolerable Cruelty started as another typical Coen Bros. comedy, and the turned into a studio effort in the last twenty minutes.

I will forever believe that Jeepers Creepers could have been a truly great horror flick, had they not went where they went with it. Of course it wasn't the very end either, more like half way through I think. I forget how far it was into it that it totally went to shit.
Anyone who has seen it will know exactly what I'm talking about.

Event Horizon and Explorers immediately come to mind.
As much as I love the film, Dark City comes close to flying off the rails with the "brain waves" fight near the end. Thankfully, it calms down after that.

Explorers was a good one...as was Signs.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say A History of Violence. Movie had me on the edge of my seat for two thirds of it, then I kinda lost interest.
