So i bring you this gem of a thread.

What is your favourite Movie ending?

Ocean's 11 and ET come to mind

The Italian job. What a cliffhanger! *groan*

The Italian job. What a cliffhanger! *groan*
Number one or two?:p
*groans*

Red Dawn
Memphis Belle
Spriggan
Akira

when the guy stands up out of his wheelchair in Michael J. Fox's Greedy :p

the bit where darth vader throws the emperor into the pit... that's one of my favourite bits of movie history, i'm sad to say

Dr. Strangelove

And I've always liked the ending to Master & Commander. It's nothing special but i rally love the music.

I've always liked the end of the final episode of Blackadder.

The end to Escape From L.A. The movie wasn't great, but the ending was (and no, not because it was the end, either.)

I've always liked the end of the final episode of Blackadder.

That's so sad! The first time I saw it I almost cried! In fact all the series have quite sinister endings. It's supposed to be a comedy, for crying out loud!

Yeah, it was pretty sad:( But it was funny when Cpt. Darling got the letter saying he had to go too:D

And the series 2 ending, when they drink the poisoned wine that Baldrick forgot to switch with the other wine:D

2001: Space Odyssey

Nothing beats that.

Yeah, it was pretty sad:( But it was funny when Cpt. Darling got the letter saying he had to go too:D

And the series 2 ending, when they drink the poisoned wine that Baldrick forgot to switch with the other wine:D

I think the series 2 ending was actually the series 3 ending. The series 2 ending was also quite shocking. The evil master of disguise Hugh Laurie dresses up as the Queen and kills the lot of them; Blackadder, Baldrick, The Queen, Nursie, Percy and Melchett. We see their bloodied corpses on the floor after we thought they'd saved the day.

Well nearly every film I've seen with a twist in the end I've guessed too soon, or my sister's ruined. The Usual Suspects, The Sixth Sense and Fight Club all spring to mind. My newest favourite ending is Pirates of the Caribbean; Dead Man's Chest. The film itself wasn't as good as the first, but Geoffrey Rush is my favourite actor, so I can't wait for the next one!

American Beauty. And when i tell you the end is just a piece of random paper blowing around in the wind, my answer still stands.

Always Look on the Bright Side of Life

Some things in life are bad,
They can really make you mad,
Other things just make you swear and curse,
When you're chewing life's gristle,
Don't grumble,
Give a whistle
And this'll help things turn out for the best.
And...

Always look on the bright side of life.
[whistle]
Always look on the light side of life.
[whistle]

If life seems jolly rotten,
There's something you've forgotten,
And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing.
When you're feeling in the dumps,
Don't be silly chumps.
Just purse your lips and whistle.
That's the thing.
And...

Always look on the bright side of life.
[whistle]
Always look on the right side of life,
[whistle]

For life is quite absurd
And death's the final word.
You must always face the curtain with a bow.
Forget about your sin.
Give the audience a grin.
Enjoy it. It's your last chance, anyhow.
So,...

Always look on the bright side of death,
[whistle]
Just before you draw your terminal breath.
[whistle]

Life's a piece of shit,
When you look at it.
Life's a laugh and death's a joke it's true.
You'll see it's all a show.
Keep 'em laughing as you go.
Just remember that the last laugh is on you.
And...

Always look on the bright side of life.
Always look on the right side of life.
[whistle]

Always look on the bright side of life!
[whistle]

The ending to dreamcatcher was nice. The whole movie was good actually.

American Beauty. And when i tell you the end is just a piece of random paper blowing around in the wind, my answer still stands.

I agree. I've always liked that film. Maybe it's because Thora Birch's character is bisarrely like me, and Kevin Spacey's resembles my pervy father... Probably makes me feel like I'm not alone.

Fallen (http://imdb.com/title/tt0119099/) & Se7en (http://imdb.com/title/tt0114369/)

These were the first to pop in my head!!!

i hated the movie threads.

"The Graduate" I love it with Benjamin Braddock (Hoffman) driving around Cali looking for Elaine and trying to stop the wedding. The church scene is great and has risen to legendary status and has been parodied by Wayne's World and the Simpsons. The bus scene is great. I love how the movie ends with my 2nd favorite song, Simon and Garfunkel's "Sounds of Silence."

Super Troopers. Meow.

Super Troopers. Meow.

iam watching Super Troopers right now on TV

when the guy stands up out of his wheelchair in Michael J. Fox's Greedy :p
Wow... I didn't think anyone else saw that movie.

"No more lies ok?"
"agreed, lets get outta here and go home"
*Kirk Douglas then stands up outta the wheelchair he's been sitting in all through the movie and walks out the door.*


Split Second
"Dirk... Shut up!"

Darkstar
Imagine... grabing a peice of debris and surfing down to the planet instead of dying from aspixiation.

The Freshman
Marlon Brando, Mathew Broderick and a Komodo Dragon all walking off into the sun... rise.

I don't know.. :(

*remembers*

Reqium For a Dream.

*nods*

"BIONDO! Lo sai di chi sei figlio tu? Tu sei figlio di una grandissima PUTAAAAAAAAAAAAAA....."

Eli Wallach as Tuco (the Ugly)

Sergio Leone's
Il buono, il brutto, il cattivo (the good, the bad, the ugly)

"BIONDO! Lo sai di chi sei figlio tu? Tu sei figlio di una grandissima PUTAAAAAAAAAAAAAA....."

Eli Wallach as Tuco (the Ugly)

Sergio Leone's
Il buono, il brutto, il cattivo, il ruffino (the good, the bad, the ugly, the ruffy)

:eek:

il buono, il brutto, il cattivo, IL RUFFINO ???

You're a genius, Ruffy.

actually, one that I just remembered is DEEP RISING.

the hero, sidekick and heroine manage to make it to an island and the typical "it's not over" type ending occures... except it's exaggerated to the Nth degree.

(staggering onto the beach.)
(the three hear a loud GROWL as suddenly, the trees in the distance start to shake as something huge is moving towards them... birds scatter everywhere)
Hero: Now what!
(Camera pans up to show a large jungle and in the distance, the trees are shaking as something huge moves towards them. Camera continues to pan up to show a barren, volcanic wasteland just after the jungle, complete with active volcanoes, lava flows and other related desasters.)

Brief Encounter:

'Darling? You've been away for a long time.......'

'I'm glad you came back to me'


Love that film.

Deep rising, where giant sea worm(s) attack an ocean liner just as a band of pirates board her to rob it.

it had it's moments...

Dont you just HATE when that happens?

the way it eats them, never seen it before till that movie

For starters, all three Mad max films.
The first one because it really doesn't end. It just tapers out and lets you chew on it.
The second one because it's a very loud "Yeah, he's still out there. And he's still powerful mad."
The third because it's so damned heroic.

And also, big points to the ending of Dirty Work.
"And the doctor paid off his debts. But the bookie had him killed anyway."
"...so he's dead. well, that's it."

Being There.

The Truman Show.

Hedwig and the Angry Inch.

This Is Spinal Tap

Dazed and Confused

Dont you just HATE when that happens?... there was alot going on before all that. so yeah, that sucks.

the way it eats them, never seen it before till that movie

nnnnnaaaaassssty... desolved alive... tho the girl sucked down the loo was probably not alive when she reached it's stomach...

Any movie that ends with every major character either dead, in prison, or similarly is a good one.
Particular credits go to The Departed, Dr. Strangelove and Save the Green Planet for being particularly twisted in their execution.

lot

no i miss that part

if you watch it again, while the passengers are panicking, look for one woman to lock herself in the bathroom. she sits on the loo crying then Sllluuuurp! ;)

and yep. bones were all that's left.

so you enjoyed most of the early Sci-Fi channel original movies then?

i saw the start as i know there were hot babes, i must step out on that part

i hope the video store got it

The Usual Suspects.


"And poof. He's gone."

I'd say it's a tie between MASH and the new James Bond movie, Casino Royale.

WARNING: Spoilers for Casino Royale.

MASH: The loudspeaker says "Attention all personnel: Tonight's movie is MASH..." and it continues as Hawkeye and Duke board a jeep to Kimpo airport.

Casino Royale: Mr. White gets a call on his cell phone. "Mr. White, we need to talk." Then, he is gunned down and gasps "Who... is this?" and dies. Then Bond stands over him with his cellphone and a Heckler & Koch G36 submachine gun. "The name's Bond. James Bond"
