Just watched Romper Stomper again and once again laughed out loud at the great final shot . It got me wondering about other films with great final shots. The 400 Blows and Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid come to mind,but they are both still frame shots. Anyone have other favorites?

godfather

the end of Cruel Intentions.

How about the final shot of both Batman Forever and Batman & Robin?
You know, the wiggling bat ears!

Seriosly now, a few of my favs are:

Field of Dreams
Shawshank Redemption
Disney's Tarzan
Men in Black

The warehouse shot at the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark, as the ark disappears among the millions of identical wooden crates.


Dave

Godfather Part II when the family is sitting around the table.

The Night Of The Living Dead.
Literally a final "shot"!

Carrie, The Beyond, and the 1st Evil Dead as well.

Hey bdots48, how about a spoiler tag on that Romper Stomper ending.

Planet of the Apes (first one). Best ending shot...ever.

i wasn't ever able to figure out why this movie is so well-loved

Godfather II, shot of Michael Corleone "contemplating"

Sydney in Hard Eight.

Fight Club (especially with one of my favorite songs)

i dunno have to think about it

Bad Lieutenant
Raging Bull

Vertigo, Citizen Kane, 2001, Eyes Wide Shut, Planet of the Apes, The Unbearable Lightness of Being.

Empire Strikes Back

In addition to some of the films mentioned above, I'd like to add the following:

Deliverance
The Blair Witch Project

The final shot of Notorious -- absolutely perfect.

The final shot of Boogie Nights -- a big bright shining star.

The final shot of Casablanca -- a beautiful friendship.

The final shot of 2001 -- evolution.

Casablanca
The Godfather
The Unbearable Lightness of Being
Vertigo

Hannibal. hehehe... new things indeed.

I'd like to add:

Shakespeare In Love
The Matrix

A Clockwork Orange "I was cured"
The Killing "ah, what's the use?"
The Camera Buff Early Kieslowski, perfect ending for that film.
The Cook, the Thief, His Wife, and Her Lover As the camera pulls back and the curtains close, grotesque dinner theatre.

"Thelma & Louise"
"The Thing" (Carpenter)
