EW's Perfect Movie Endings *SPOILERS*

[tzarinna]

1st List

2nd List

Saw this on imdb.

 

[Speedball]

LOL!
Bourne Ultimatum has only been out a week, and it's ending has already been considered a classic.
My favorite from the lists has to be the Others.

 

[Abaddon]

my reaction to the Saw ending was:

 

[DIRECTOR]

i loved the Saw ending, that was TIGHT

 

[Poetic Chaos]

Any list showing love to Lost In Translation is doing right in my book.

 

[Dark Donnie]

Bourne Ultimatum was very nicely done....Saw felt like a rip off of the scene from Silence of the Lambs for some reason.

 

[PWN3R]

Even though its new I totally agree with the Bourne Ultimatum ending. It was so perfect on ending the series yet still hinting at more. Not only that, but it mirrored the first shot from the first movie. Sweet sweet closure.

 

[LastSunrise1981]

The Saw ending was a surprise and a very good one. I don't care what anyone says no one saw that ending coming at all. Most people who say they saw it coming only say it to look cool in front of their friends.

But seriously, when I saw the ending my reaction was "HOLY ****! NO WAY!"

You received a few hints here and there when Kerry says "looks like our friend Jigsaw likes to book himself front row seats to his own sick games." But never did I believe that

Spoiler

he was in the room with both Adam and Dr. Gordon the entire time.

You would think one would spot it each time they got shocked while trying to outsmart him, but once the end rolled around it just blew me away and it made me a fan of the series.

 

[Warhammer]

The Bourne Ultimatum was definitely a great ending.
Also, The Sixth Sense sure was something. To those who claimed that they didn't "already know", it was a jaw-dropper.

How come films like The Shawshank Redemption or The Color Purple didn't make the list?

But it kind of defies logic because the dude had lung cancer right? And he can somehow had the willpower to sleep absouletly still??? I mean come on...

 

[Warhammer]

That's movie magic for yo ass.

I think he drugged himself, but still +

It was shown in Saw that he drugged himself in order for him to control his heart rate and relax his muscles. Hence why he was able to lie still for a long period of time without moving or breathing.

yea but drugging yourself to slow your heart rate and relax your muscles would not stop you from uncontrolling coughing which happens alot to people who have lung cancer!!! Would have been more convincing if he had prostate cancer instead

 

[TheVileOne]

I like Ultimatum's ending, seemed like the perfect ending to me.

Spoiler

The movie ends much like the first one starts. Kind of like Wolf's Rain.

 

[ShaneHelms]

I'm guessing during the first film his condition hadn't gotten to that level yet.

 

[LeChuck]

Those endings all suck, with a few exceptions. Too many new movies on there, most newer movies have ****ty endings because Hollywood thinks we all need a happy ending. My favorite endings:
STAR WARS EPISODE V: THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK
THE FRENCH CONNECTION
THE USUAL SUSPECTS
FIGHT CLUB
OLDBOY
ONE FLEW OVER THE CUKOO'S NEST
BRIDGE OVER THE RIVER KWAI
COOL HAND LUKE

 

[The Amazing Lee]

Brazil is one of my favourite endings.

 

[xwolverine2]

x-men2 had one of the best endings ever...
I liked killbills ending... you find out her daughter is still alive.
invasion of the body snatchers...lol awesome, donald sutherland screeches.
Fracture had a great ending... an easily ignored movie of this year that was awesome.
Bourne ending was bleh.... i didnt even think he died when he jumped in the river... especially when he managed to survive all those car wrecks.

^Great line to a great ending.
