I love some of the endings mentioned, The Usual Suspects, The Long Good Friday, The Good the Bad and the Ugly and (my favourite film ever) Zulu, but the ending for The Searchers is just great. Great choice.addick19 said:Going back a bit but the closing scene with John Wayne in 'The Searchers'.
We find out that everything we’ve watched before the end was a lie. We’ve no idea if any of it actually happened. At most we know that there’s a bad guy called Soze and he killed a bunch of people to protect his identity, but not necessarily in the way that we saw. In fact we know that at least half the people - and potentially 90% of them - didn’t exist. That’s not a plot twist that’s... lame!Bryan Singer said “there’s no right answer” and I’d say that’s because the writing wasn’t smart enough to have one. Just a gimmick ending. Unlike, say, Inception where Nolan insists there is a definitive answer to whether or not Cobb is in the real world.
It's a great film.1 -

The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist. And like that, he's gone.1 -
Yes to Some Like It Hot, but you can add The Apartment to that. Two from the same director. There you go. If you haven't seen it watch it now.1

It’s just been on again tonight, but the last couple of minutes of Rogue One, when Vader loses his shit, the moment the lightsaber gets lit is amazing

That wasn't in the script originally. They chucked it in last minute as they wanted to see Vader kick some assRothko said:It’s just been on again tonight, but the last couple of minutes of Rogue One, when Vader loses his shit, the moment the lightsaber gets lit is amazing

I'm going to add The Prestige. Great film, excellent ending, and I love the Michael Caine speech at the start and finish. "It's not enough to make it vanish. You 'ave to bring it back'. Class1

It's a Wonderful Life obviously .3

Makes perfect sense to me too. Have I missed something that makes it NOT make sense?JiMMy 85 said:

Jaws. Watched it over 100 times and yet still the hairs stand up on the back of my neck at the end. "Smile you son of a bitch".0

Snowden, cutting the actual person in place of the actor. Brings in home.
Similar effect, through more dramatic, in Land and Freedom (ken loach)0 -
I know it was exactly the ending because they had an extra few minutes after with Danny getting arrested and getting out(which added to the story) but I the water fountain scene from Oceans 11 would have made a great ending.
Was reading and interview with Steven Soderbergh who said he told the cast that other than Carl Reiner leaving last everyone else was to walk away when it felt right for their character0 -
Apparently ‘Sunderland Til I die’ part 2 is soon to be released. I don’t want to ruin it for everybody, but apparently the end is superb.2

Some great choices here. I'd add:
Godfather
Some Like it Hot ("I'm a man" "Well nobody's perfect")
The Italian Job
Kind Hearts and Coronets
It's a Wonderful Life (schmaltzy but like Toy Story 3 guaranteed to bring a tear to my eye)

It's a brilliant scene, but there are five minutes of the film left still after that, so not the 'ending'Mortimerwasgod said:Jaws. Watched it over 100 times and yet still the hairs stand up on the back of my neck at the end. "Smile you son of a bitch".

It's a great film.
The end is gimmicky and the film doesn't hang together as a result, on any level. It doesn't make narrative sense. It's the total opposite of a great ending. With a twist like Sixth Sense or Memento, we find out that there stuff going on with a purpose that we didn't know existed, and a rewatch will reveal we hadn't noticed the real drive behind certain elements. This ending renders the previous 90 minutes ot have been utterly irrelevant.
A rewatch of The Usual Suspects is pointless, because nothing happened. It's just a yarn being spun by a guy who doesn't want to get recognised...
The entire crux of the movie is super-genius criminal mastermind Keyser Soze killing the only man who could ID him. A complicated scheme (and we don't know if any of it happened in the world of the film anyway, nearly every character was taken from a piece of stuff in the cop's office so we can only assume he made them up). And the finale to his master plan was to... sit with the cops for a few hours and run away before a fax comes through that identifies him?
He could have left the police station any time he liked (a character says so) but he sticks around to tell a pointless story that only covers his tracks for 30-45 seconds after he leaves the room? And the cops are now VERY familiar with what he looks like?
It's slick, well acted, nicely directed nonsense, with an ending that makes no sense whatsoever. It's blindingly exciting the first time you go through it. The second time... you should start to wonder, what the fuck? The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was making us think this film made any sense whatsoever!
