Moderator Tommy Posted February 26, 2019 Moderator Posted February 26, 2019 What do you think is the best ending to a movie? My favourite is probably Heat:
Subscriber Viva la FCB+ Posted February 27, 2019 Subscriber Posted February 27, 2019 Great topic. The ending to Heat was great it was the showdown that built durring the whole movie. But still what I remember most from it was the shootout in the middle of the city with the cops that was something else, probably one of the best shootout scenes ever. I love me some mindfuck endings. Too hard to pick one a couple come to mind in no particular order: Predestination Inception Seven The Good the Bad and the Ugly The Usual Suspects
Subscriber JoshBRFC+ Posted February 27, 2019 Subscriber Posted February 27, 2019 Good shout with Heat. Those 2 legends... i love that film. A few off the top of my head: Rocky 2 The Thing Scarface The Godfather Silence of the Lambs Fight Club Shawshank Redemption The Matrix

IgnisExcubitor Posted February 27, 2019 Posted February 27, 2019 Good thread Tsubs. My favourites in no particular order Whiplash - Pure adrenaline finish. And then they acknowledge each other. Godfather - The closing of door is iconic. Blade Runner - That monologue and the paper unicorn. Blade Runner 2049 - K does what he wants only to feel what it means to be human. The Place Beyond The Pines - Sons become their fathers. Jagten The Hunt - Once an accused, always an accused. Das letzte schweigen - Another closing door scene, showing a pedo's desire for friendship. Creepy but powerful. Brazil - Punch in the gut. Seven - No need to explain Gone Baby Gone - Casey Affleck and the kid sitting on the couch. The Secret in their Eyes - Proper justice delivered. Andhadhun - What a trick. I have probably missed many. Will add when I remember them.
nudge Posted February 27, 2019 Posted February 27, 2019 Big Fish - no other movie made me so emotional and that ending was just the icing on the cake... Rogue One - just marvelous. The whole Vader sequence and then the ending that perfectly lines up with the beginning of the first original Star Wars movie; very clever and extremely well executed. La vita é bella - bittersweet. I lied when I said that no other movie except Big Fish made me so emotional... This one takes the cake.
Rucksackfranzose Posted February 27, 2019 Posted February 27, 2019 Good topic, since nobody mentioned it that far Funny Games the Austrian original of corse.
Subscriber CaaC (John)+ Posted February 27, 2019 Subscriber Posted February 27, 2019 Too many but what springs to mind in this order: Unforgiven Rambo - First Blood Predator Ghost The Good the Bad and the Ugly Shawshank Redemption The Outlaw Josey Wales The Longest Day The Battle of the Bulge Spartacus (Film - 1960)
Lucas Posted February 27, 2019 Posted February 27, 2019 There are loads, you could easily list so many. But I really fucking love The Departed. And I love The Departed because of the way Scorsese tee's up the audience with one shock, quickly followed by another to literally leave you feeling dazed. I remember the first time I watched the movie. I mean come on. Di Caprio. Damon. Wahlberg. Nicholson, Sheen. What a cast. Brilliant film, absorbing plot, audience really invested in the main characters involved without a clue who come's out on top. It was all boiling down nicely to the climax. And just as the action begins to unfold...POW...Scorsese put's in a twist you just don't see coming. My head was fucked. Still reeling in shock, and just as you think the film will end one way...BAM...you get another twist. Out pans the camera and there you see a little Rat running across a Balcony. How's symbolic. A mixture of emotions from the characters involved and yet everything 'feels' like it's sewn together. Brilliant.
Cicero Posted February 27, 2019 Posted February 27, 2019 Yeah Departed is one of those films you can watch any time. The Scorsese effect. Shawshank Redemption still #1 for me.
Subscriber Viva la FCB+ Posted February 27, 2019 Subscriber Posted February 27, 2019 The first time I saw The Departed I loved it but having watched the Chinese film which it was based upon (Infernal Affairs) Ive had a hard time with it since. Infernal Affairs Id say almost did everything better, they also made it a trilogy. Its been a while since Ive seen either mind you but the second Infernal Affairs was also pretty good I remember.
Subscriber CaaC (John)+ Posted February 27, 2019 Subscriber Posted February 27, 2019 Still one of the best end scenes
Bluewolf Posted February 27, 2019 Posted February 27, 2019 So many but this is probably one of my all time favorite endings to a film... 'Lucky Number Slevin'
ASF Posted February 27, 2019 Posted February 27, 2019 Apart from some that have already been mentioned (Shawshank, Seven, Fight Club), I'll add these ones, In no order: - Gone with the Wind - Bicycle Thieves - Sunset Boulevard - Barton Fink - The World of Apu (superb end to finish the best movie trilogy) - City Lights - White Heat - Oldboy - The Killing - The Wages of Fear - Imitation of Life - Witness for the Prosecution - Stella Dallas - The Easy Life - Nights of Cabiria

IgnisExcubitor Posted March 1, 2019 Posted March 1, 2019 Memories of Murder Sadma (Good luck controlling your tears on this one) Gangs of Wasseypur HP and the half blood prince Gone Girl (If you are married or engaged) Donnie Darko
Harry Posted March 1, 2019 Posted March 1, 2019 For me The Graduate would have to be right up there.... Absolute classic ending! Raiders of the Lost Ark was the most awe inspiring The usual suspects was the most mind blowing The Breakfast Club was the most oddly fitting Love Actually Always leaves me with a smile on my face The Godfather Perfect ending for a perfect film.
