Favorite movie endings?
 

I'm not talking about the big final action scene or the dramatic climax, but the very last scene of the movie, like the last one or two minutes. A final scene that you can watch over and over just cuz you love it so much.

Obviously there is a potential for major spoilers here, so give a fair warning if you're revealing any major plot points.

Anyways, I would have to put Rocky as my all-time favorite movie ending. Just a perfect final scene. Adrian!

Warning: major spoiler (although I can't imagine there's anyone here who hasn't seen Rocky)

Some other all-time faves:

Face/Off (The return home. It's corny, but I love it)
Fight Club
The Good, The Bad and the Ugly
Harold and Maude ("Well, if you want to sing out, sing out")

Probably my all time favorite, "You have bled with Wallace..., now bleed with me."



A couple other faves that came to mind:

Here's an odd choice : I really like the ending of Midnight Run. Yeah it's just a silly road comedy but it sets up an impossible situation for both protagonists to come out winners and then they pull it off - beautifully and without feeling like a cheat. I remember smiling so wide in the theater when I saw that.

Breaking the Waves. Just beautiful.

Breaking the Waves (beat me to it!!!)

The Florida Project

I loved the riding off in the sunset ending of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.

Re: Favorite movie endings?
 

Probably cliched, but any movie that leaves me wanting more, or a glance by protagonist to camera is great. Of course, Christopher Reeve did it the best at end of Superman. The Marvel movies’ final scene or shot before end credits are usually exhilarating, especially the 1st Iron Man, when Tony says he is Iron Man and looks at camera. That always stuck with me. So many others...

Probably Die Hard when Karl pops up from rubble and seeing Powell’s vein throb and sweat. The Third Man’s final scene and shot always sticks bc so sad and beautiful...

Re: Favorite movie endings?
 

Die Hard is a good one.

The Matrix
Dark City

Before Sunset. The tension and humanity of the last few minutes are just pure movie magic. :)

The final scene of Mad Max: Fury Road is damn near perfect IMO.

Oh yeah, and you can add Robocop (the original) to that list too.

Re: Favorite movie endings?
 

Superman is a good one. Similarly, the first thing I thought of when I read the thread title was Magnolia.


I’m also a sucker for endings that have a quick cut to black at the end. Not the best movie but I’ve always liked the final shot of Far and Away.

Re: Favorite movie endings?
 

Das Boot

Re: Favorite movie endings?
 

It's fresh in my mind but I really appreciated the ending to Little Miss Sunshine. All of the character pushing and then jumping into the vw bus was a nice curtain call for each of them.

Re: Favorite movie endings?
 

Oh man, too many to remember. One that springs to mind immediately is Miracle Mile.

Re: Favorite movie endings?
 

Always my favorite ending.

My most favorite ending:

^I'll give oral pleasure to anyone who knows it.

Lots of grindhouse movies have the most killer endings:

Poor Pretty Eddie
Rolling Thunder
The Peace Killers
Female Prisoner #701: Scorpion
The Psycho Lover
Coffy
Ilsa, She-Wolf of the SS
Fistful of Talons
Me, A Groupie
Cherry, Harry & Raquel!
Last House on The Left
Hanzo The Razor: Sword of Justice
Rabid Dogs
The Savage Seven
Bloodsucking Freaks
Caged Heat
Scream, Bloody Murder

Most of the budget is saved for the last reel. The soundtrack is always intensified. The editing is always frantic. Characters are always screaming for their lives. And, BOOM. End. No epilogue. No coda. Just credits. The way it oughta be! :D

No, thank you. You can blow (up) somebody else.

The Usual Suspects.
