Your favourite endings!?!?!

Fellowship of the Ring has one of my favourite endings. 'I'm glad you're with me Samwise Gamgee' and then an ominous shot of Mordor.

King Kong (2005) gets me every time as well. Well done Andy Serkis and Naomi Watts. (I pretend that Jack Black's horrible line never happens).

BATMAN has one of the most powerful and dramatic endings.

UNBREAKABLE would be there, but for the "captions" about what happened.

My favorite has to be MEET JOE BLACK. Beautiful music, a powerful moment about life.

"It's hard to let go, isn't it?"
"Yes it is, Bill."
"That's life. What can I tell you."

A Clockwork Orange is probably my favorite. No need for an explanation of why that ending is so fantastic.

Also, I recently saw the film Ink, which I thought had an extremely emotional ending and at the same time was a revelation for the main character. Manly tears were shed. It was quite remarkable and surprising. :yay:

They were not there in Shyamalan's original cut, but after test screenings, audiences said they wanted to know what happened to SLJ's character, whether he got away with it or what, so they added in the titles. I don't mind them, when my sister first watched the film with me, she asked me if it was based on a true story, and my nephew and I had a good laugh at that, then she realised what she was saying, haha, but it was because of the titles that she asked that, as they usually only come up at the end of a film that was based on a true story(although they appear at the end of American Graffitti, those characters are very loosely based on real people Lucas knew, I'm not sure if those character's futures were true events).

A Clockwork Orange is probably my favorite. No need for an explanation of why that ending is so fantastic.

Aye, it is quite funny, I think it's better to keep Alex's future ambiguous, so it's better than the ending in the novel, where we later see him talking to one of his old reformed droogs, and saying he has been thinking of living a normal life, starting a family and stuff.
I read, or heard, somewhere that Kubrick was unaware of that ending, as it was not in the American edition he read, I don't know if that is true, surely he would have heard of it somehow, so i do imagine he would have chosen to ignore that ending anyway, to keep it ambiguous.
 
What? That's pretty pessemistic man.
I heard that was going to be the original ending before Edward Norton had it changed. They would've shown Derek shaving his hair off in the bathroom at home.

I think that would have been a stupid ending, sure, his wee brother was killed, and he would have been going to a dark place in his mind, but I don't think even that would have re-wired his brain from the reality check it had undergone during his journey in the film. He wouldnt have been able to ignore the reality he had taken into his psyche, and he wouldn't have been so hypocritical as to ignore his instincts.
Personally speaking, I would not have believed that ending, yes, even though he went through possibly the worst trauma a person could face, that still would not have turned his head away from reality, because all through the movie, that is what he was searching for.

Really? I can think of a word, "Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

I like the chinese bootleg's translation: Do not want.

Also, the ending of TDK involving Batman, Two-Face, Gordon and Gordan's family was pretty powerful for me. I loved it, moreso than the ending of BB.

The potential implied by the ending of Spider-Man 2 is also noteworthy.
 
The ending to the Elephant Man... after he finally discovers he can fly using his big elephant ears, he goes back to the circus, and this time, instead of being bullied, gets a private car on the train, and his wee mouse pal gets a job.

I laughed at this. Then I felt guilty for it.
 
yeah that never bothered me at all

Aye, it never bothered me either, that's what a lot of people do when they are hit by some devastating news and are cracking up over it. If you think it's overplayed or something, fine, but if you think it's out of character, well, you have to keep in mind that he's in the suit in that scene, but he's not the Vader of the OT yet, he's got years to get all cold and emotionless like that. haha
 
American Pie 2 had a great ending, mainly because Stifler got both girls.
 
Toy Story 3. Hands down, especially since I grew up watching these movies and Andy was the same age as I was at the time of watching this. :waa:
