I have seen the "Dogs of War" about a dozen times and everytime the ending still makes me smile.
-
How did it end?
I cant remeber? I keep picking it up as a 9.99 dvd and putting it back
-
Is that the one where they kill the dictator with a fork?
Been a while... remember the rotary grenade launcher and Christopher Walken. Is that the same one?

Memphis Belle - I don't care.. "Danny Boy" gets to me.

Swimming With Sharks... :)

A boy and his dog.

one I forgot.
Deep Throat.. true love finally wins.

Dr. Strangelove..

"A Clockwork Orange"
No contest.

Se7en
Tronsky

Das Boot.
Oh wait, that had a craptastic ending.
-
the "movie" Memphis Belle was total hollywood , every thing that could possibly happen to a plane and crew happened in the movie on that last flight.
watch the documentary the army air corp filmed of the last flight of Memphis Belle crew, nothing happened to them.
the crew was sent back to the USA after the 25 mission but the plane flew one more mission before it was decided to send the plane back for a war bond promo, ( planes were not retired after 25 missions)
note: the crew of the Memphis Belle was the first crew to reach 25 missions.
note 2: hollywood always shows the crew of a B17 grabbing the edge of the hatch and swinging their feet up into the plane, the documantary shows portable steps under the hatch and the crew walks up into the plane. .....yawn , real life is so undramatic

Agreed. One of the few instances where the ending made the movie.
I vote for "Jaws".
and "Saving Private Ryan". The whole time it was in flashback, I thought it was Tom Hanks' character we were witnessing.
"Star Wars Episode IV" would've been my vote, but Lucas had to insert that stupid medal ceremony into it.

Absolutely right Mr. Bill. Alex proclaiming himself cured at the end of "A Clockwork Orange" was good, but Don Johnson and his dog sharing inside jokes about the taste of the dog's meal was classic.
-
The endings to Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels was good.
So was the ending to Snatch.
Course to this day I will admit that the ending of Braveheart brings tears to my eyes and makes me want to grab a sword and charge into the fray!!!! FREEDOM!!!!!

The Best movie ending of all time: Final Countdown.

Final Countdown is the best ever.
After Final Countdown is the Hank Williams JR. story, starring 'John Boy' as Hank Jr.
3rd would be Hanna and her Sisters

I am pretty sure they lost an engine. And what do you mean nothing happened to them? You got to witness guys in a bomber getting killed. Remember the B17 that goes into a spin and only two parachutes come out? Yes, I'm talking about the documentary and not the movie. IIRC it also showed 109s attacking bombers and the waist gunner firing back at them.

Space cowboys
No wait, that one sucked bellybutton with Tommy Lee Jones riding on the tip of a ballistic missile to the moon, and still surviving the impact long enough to crawl over to a rock and look at the earth.

Dr. Strangelove
-
It has to be The Usual Suspects... strange no one mentioned it.

Honest answer: Sixth sense.
That one freaked me out. I had to get a couple of beers afterwards to steady my nerves.
-
Dr Strangelove.

that was excellent too, would've prob gone for that but I reckon seven's ending was better (kevin spacey factor perhaps?)
Tronsky

Usual suspects or se7en.
-
Shawshank Redemption........
7
-
WTF are you talking about.
They Live. When the girl is riding the alien at the end and starts screaming. "What's the matter, baby?"
LOL!!!
(seriously, out of movies I've seen... prolly go with Usual Suspects or Shawshank. might change my mind more I think about it though.)
-
Luke I am your father : Empire Strike Back

Arlington Road. 'nuff said.

Titanic had the best ending ever, for me. I've never felt such relief, except when I've needed a pee after a taxi ride after being drinking all night.
However, watching Leonardo diSproutio's face sink beneath the waves of the North Atlanitc was quite satisfying.
-
Nifty that scene is pretty good.
The TV has an alien film reviewer trashing the violence of today's movie directors, like George Romero and John Carpenter (the latter being, of course, the writer/director/composer (ugh) of the film).
Oh yeah, and the waking up to the screwing symbolizes the sudden and violent attainment of class consciousness. Nobody does marxist films better than hollywood; Eisenstein never had the balls to have one of his films star a professional wrestler. :)
The good bad and ugly's graveyard scene is a cinematic masterpiece. The whole film built up to that.
Still, the Lady from Shanghai's gunfight in a hall of mirrors gets my vote.
-
Saving Private Ryan.

LOL...these guys just don't understand what a "good ending" is all about.
Alex being "healed" at the end of the film is dripping in irony and his evil grin in the final scene is evidence that there would be many many tolchockings once he is released from the hospital.
"As the music came to its climax, I could viddy myself very clear, running and running on like very light and mysterious feet, carving the whole face of the creeching world with my cut throat britva. I was cured all right."
-
Usual Suspects, no contest...
-
Memento
"Now, where was I?"
also Se7en had a bad bellybutton ending.
-
Gladiator
maybe not EVER... but still a good ending
-
Final destination.
-
Damn...someone already got Titanic. Watching Leonardo die is always a pleasure. :D Umm...The Thin Red Line...never have I been so happy when a movie ended. :rolleyes:
Seriously, Payback has a good one. The Red Violin has a cool twist. The boiler hat ending in Thomas Crown Affair is damn clever. But Apocalypse Now has to have the best.
-
Angel Heart
Sixth sense
Mulholland Drive (but you need to see it at least twice...)
-
Seven, or Usual Suspects.
I can't decide.

George and Dim had hell expecting them, as did all those old bums, and what fate expects any weepy young devotchka that he may encounter in the dark streets, the old in/out/in/out.
Yeah, he was cured all right.

The Last Broadcast.
A small indie film in the same vien as Blair Witch pre-dates Blair Witch by two years.
I was so hooked on it I had chills watching the movie. Never saw it coming. Everyone I lend it to has the same reaction.
Rent it, but if you do, dont search the web for the answer or the ending. It will ruin it for you.
-
The Ring is good too the original Japanese is better,but can't go wrong with the little Aussie blonde girl in the new version :D
-
Any ending to a shakespear tragedy. Everybody in a 3 mile radius dies, including small animals and foliage .
Oh and return of the night of the living dead .
-
Oh oh and the ending to the first Nightmare on Elmstreet .
-
Being there.
2001, a space odissey.
Mediterraneo (not really for the end, but for the "feel good" sensation that left me)
Planet of apes (first version)
Rollerball (first version)
-
"Signs" I love feel good endings.
"Saving Private Ryan" Great ending. But the movie has begun to lose its impact after seeing it for the third time.
"Gladiator" Good triumphs over evil. The hero dies but meets his family in the fields of Alyssium (or is it Elysium). I can never remember.

shawshank redemption.
A flim that totally wrapped up the story.No guesswork necessary.No 'oh what happen to?' questions.It is one of those rare films that leave no loose ends to guess about.Fantastic.
Unforgiven
Who can forget that end scene???
'He shouldnt have decorated his bar with my friend'
'Deserves got nothing to do with it'
'Ive killed everything that walked or crawled at one time or another'
'Ive always been lucky when it comes to killing folk'
'Anyone shoots at me, i'll kill them and their family,I'll burn their godamn house down'
Thats gotta be one of the best endings and it has line after line of excellent chilling gunfighter dialog!.hehe
theres so many grea films :)
