Even though I see the point youre trying to make, which is really played out from you especially. Out of all th movies ever made, there are happier endings than War of the Worlds.

Is it because the warton kills himself or Red and Andy go free?

"Pretty Much" does not mean all and snuff films are more legand than they are real anyhow....BTW, a snuff film is a "snuff" film and a porno film is a "porno" film - get it?

JackBauer

mostly because they both go free and do see each other again.

but it was nice to see the warden bite one. :D

-the ending of "Spider-Man 2", where Peter FINALLY hooks up with Mary Jane.

-the ending of "Alien 3", which kills off Ripley, thereby assuring us that there will be no more "Alien" movies (it didn't work).

-the happy ending of the "Little Shop of Horrors" remake.

-the ending of "Shrek", that has Princess Fiona turn into an ogress so that Shrek can marry her.

-the ending of Disney's "The Hunchback of Notre Dame", that has France finally accepting Quasimodo for who he is.

-the ending of "Beauty and the Beast", that has The Beast breaking hiscurseand turning back into The Prince.

-the ending of "Fantastic Four", that has Reed Richards and Susan Storm getting engaged.

-the uncharacteristically happy ending of "The Brothers Grimm", that has both brothers hook up with that chick and they defeating the Evil Queen/Witch.

Shawshank.... its been said a lot in this thread, but always deserves another mention.

I'll also agree on Bubba Ho-Tep, also said a little earlier; terrific ending. Office Space also comes to mind as another ending worthy of mention, heh. ;)

multiple people have just died right before the endings of most of the movies posted.

I'm pretty sure something like this

lacks that. ALthough it would be cool if it didn't. Carebearacide would be cool.

Not really a classic happy ending, I mean he doesn't get the girl and half of the inmates from Arkham have escaped.

Any underdog movie involving kids and sports, the underdog team ALWAYS win.

Why don't they just have the underdog team lose for once, like in The Bad News Bears?

That's a very good point.

Not really a classic happy ending, I mean he doesn't get the girl and half of the inmates from Arkham have escaped.

Actually, I kinda consider that the beginning, hence the title of the picture. :)

As for other light or otherwise satisfactory endings, here's some of my favorites -

Lloyd and Harry walking away from a busload of half-naked women in Dumb & Dumber (Carrey lobbied with the writers to have the movie end this way, since the writers wanted the boys to climb aboard).

Ferris getting caught by Rooney only for his sister to bail his @$$ out and let the dog finish off the principal in Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

Young Frankenstein, which is probably the first Frankenstein movie of any kind to actually have a happy ending.

I also liked the end of T3, since it guarantees if they're dumb enough to make a third one involving the same time-travel schtick, then it deserves to be a flop.

On that note, I'm gonna go against the grain and admit I also like the end of BTTF III. I don't f***ing care where the Time Train came from or why Doc built it, it brought the trilogy to a perfect full circle. Period.

Trainspotting. :):up:

thealiasman2000
04-30-2006, 06:26 AM
1-"Trainspotting" is a good ending, because it's the ending most drug addicts strive for: to live a normal, regular life, away from all the evil poison they've been comsuming.

I tell you right now: it doesn't matter if you become a burgeois pig, you are always better WITHOUT DRUGS. All drugs do nothing but ******* your life.

2-I tell you, Movie205: the ending of "Brazil" is the one we all know and saw. THAT's the ending Terry Gillian (the effin' director) filmed, and THAT'S the ending he wanted for his movie.

The "happy" ending is an aberration by UK censors that couldn't stomach a sad ending in such a powerful, moving movie.

3-I think "Batman Begins" has a good ending, because by introducing The Joker it opens its way for Batman to face the enemies he faced in the previous movies (The Penguin, Catwoman, The Riddler, Two Face, Mr. Freeze, Poison Ivy and Bane), thus making this a rtue "remake" of the previous saga.

4-In a sports movie, the main character's team HAS to win. It's a Hollywood by-law.

I mean, remember "The Longest Yard", "Goal!", "Major League", "Kicking and Screaming" and "Dodgeball"?

I was pretty happy when Weather Man ended, cause I wouldn't have to endure it anymore. Same with Batman & Robin and Hero. Then that feeling wore off because I realized I had just wasted hours of my life I could never have back.:(
