Sorry - I guess my original topic contained a spoiler - I thought about it seriously but decided it was not a spoiler - I gave no clue about which character in the film was involved - oh,well,to each his own.

The last shot in Dr. Strangelove is excellent!

Have to go with the ending of Brazil, specifically the director's cut version of course.

<b>THE 400 BLOWS
GALLIPOLI</b>

A Clockwork Orange
From Dusk Till Dawn

<b>Psycho</b> - The Norman-to-skull face shot, and the pulling of the car from pond, both classic.
<b>Reservoir Dogs</b> - Awesome how the camera just pans upward, letting the audio finish the story.
<b>Primal Fear</b> - Very unsettling.
<b>Meet the Parents</b> - "Can you deal with THAT!!?"
<b>The Matrix</b> - A little cheesy, but cool nonetheless.
<b>The Blair Witch Project</b> - Already mentioned, but the perfect example of a truly creepy final camera shot.

The ending to the usual suspects stands out as a favorite

John Wayne facing away from the camera as the door closes in "The Searchers" - one of the all-time great last shots!

Love and Death

Absolutely phenomenal last shot with Woody Allen dancing away with Death. Always has stuck with me.

I've always wanted a poster of it!

- Thelma and Louise; come on guys, that was great!

- Spanish Prisioner

- Thelma and Louise

- Homicide

SPOILER for Homicide

Joe's character finds out what "Grofaz" meant. That Mamet could come up with a hilarious ending to that film was brilliant!
