Title: Best ending to a movie with a song...
Post by: Mustaine on March 21, 2008, 07:12:08 PM
You know the scene: end of the movie, emotional moment, whatever; and a song is playing in the background that just fits the moment so well there is no other song that could play in it's place...

Most here won't remember the scene but this is all I have to start the thread:

End of the movie Reality Bites (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0110950) U2 "All I Want is You" plays.

just the song not a clip from the movie (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-TssRlmmBE)

It is quite good and fits so well I can't think of another song that could be better.



Got another?

Not that these are the best, but there are a couple that stick with me for some reason:

The Eels - Mr E's Beautiful Blues at the end of Road Trip
Elliott Smith - Miss Misery from the closing credits of Good Will Hunting

Wow, great old school call on that one! I just watched Thunder Road again a couple days ago. Mitchum was the shizz.

I thought it was called the "bandit," but now I'm not sure after having looked it up.

In the Name of the Father. 

A timely movie given the current state of affairs.  The movie with Bruce Willis sucked compared to this (edit:  The Siege).

Fight Club with the pixies was an awesome ending!  I thought the end of Vanilla Sky was also pretty cool.  I think its Radio Head.
