Archibald   (Member) Or, another favorite, from THE TIME MACHINE: "Mr. Filby, do you think he'll ever return?" "One can't choose but wonder. You see, he's got all the time in the world." And Russell Garcia's lovely score closes.    Posted:   Jan 14, 2016 - 7:21 AM     By:   Rozsaphile   (Member) "Shame". the final moments in which we just see that blank look on Brandon's face is just great. love how the movie ends with the audience questioning whether Brandon has grown at all or if he's still a slave to his addiction. very well done. I'm unfamiliar with this film, but the title reminds me that Ingmar Bergman's SHAME might take the prize for the most depressing ending of all time: Von Sydow and Ullmann helplessly adrift in a blank sea, refugees from some incomprehensible war that has reduced all the characters to nothingness.    Posted:   Jan 14, 2016 - 7:29 AM     By:   Rozsaphile   (Member) THE NUN'S STORY: Hepburn walking away from the convent in a silence that embraces the audience in her own situation: Triumph or failure? Is she bursting free of her order's restraint or is she losing the precious gift of community?    Posted:   Jan 14, 2016 - 7:46 AM     By:   stalemate12   (Member) Have seen many really memorable endings, but the one that will always stand out is the final 4 minutes of Francois Truffaut's "The 400 Blows" (Les 400 Coups) where Antoine escapes from the work camp and runs to the sea. For me, it will always be the most moving and sad ending in cinema history. Ingenious directing from one of cinema's finest. A very close second is the ending in Cinema Paradiso when Salvatore returns to Rome with a can of film left to him by his old friend Alfredo containing all the cut kissing scenes which were deemed too inappropriate to be shown in the cinema by the local priest.    Posted:   Jan 14, 2016 - 9:40 AM     By:   townerbarry   (Member) Citizen Kane Sunset Boulevard The Third Man Raiders of the Lost Ark E.T. A.I. Schindler's List No Regret ..Korean Film Saving Private Ryan White Night...Korean Film Shane No Country for Old Men The Graduate    Posted:   Jan 14, 2016 - 10:03 AM     By:   mgh   (Member) I agree with many of these, but the one that came immediately to mind was THE PROFESSIONALS. The ending stands the whole movie on its head. It also has one of the great last lines: J.W. Grant: You bastard. Rico: Yes, sir. In my case an accident of birth. But you, you're a self-made man.    Posted:   Jan 14, 2016 - 3:08 PM     By:   RoryR   (Member) J.W. Grant: You bastard. Rico: Yes, sir. In my case an accident of birth. But you, you're a self-made man. That's something I'd like to say to a certain "bastard" running for something right now.    Posted:   Jan 14, 2016 - 6:49 PM     By:   Joe 1956   (Member) Bride of the Monster.    Posted:   Jan 14, 2016 - 7:15 PM     By:   RobotSam   (Member) The Italian Job (original) On Her Majesty's Secret Service Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid Das Boot Dark City Not always happy endings, but certainly memorable.    Posted:   Jan 14, 2016 - 8:32 PM     By:   Solium   (Member) Das Boot Another one of my favorite endings.    Posted:   Jan 15, 2016 - 3:22 AM     By:   soundtrackmusic   (Member) Of course, CASABLANCA had the best ending of any movie. It's become such a cliché that maybe no everybody realizes this today.    Posted:   Jan 15, 2016 - 4:08 AM     By:   Adam.   (Member) I tend to like downbeat endings. Night of the Living Dead and The Omen are ones I really liked.    Posted:   Jan 15, 2016 - 5:13 AM     By:   jenkwombat   (Member) Das Boot Another one of my favorite endings. Yes, another good one. Can't believe I forgot that one. Maybe if it had come out in the 1970s, I would have remembered it when making my list.    Posted:   Jan 15, 2016 - 10:39 AM     By:   Nicolai P. Zwar   (Member) The Mist. Seriously? Interesting. I detest the ending of that movie. I found the original ending of the short novel (one of my favorites by King) much better. I was THRILLED when Frank Darabont made "The Mist" into a movie, but the ending was, in a word, crap.    Posted:   Jan 16, 2016 - 9:23 AM     By:   Grecchus   (Member) The Mist. Seriously?

It's like waking from a nightmare only to find everything you thought you've just escaped from is right in front of you, only, much worse.    Posted:   Jan 16, 2016 - 1:03 PM     By:   Christian Reiffenrath   (Member) of course... THE FÙRY    Posted:   Jan 16, 2016 - 1:35 PM     By:   Last Child   (Member) Ambiguous endings are great. My favorite? John Carpenter's The Thing. It was perfect in every way. not a fan of the THING, but there's a somewhat open-ended ending in "Valdez Is Coming"(1971). In the final showdown, I suppose you know the villain has lost, but dont know which punishment he'll choose.    Posted:   Jan 16, 2016 - 1:38 PM     By:   The Wanderer   (Member) I tend to like downbeat endings. Night of the Living Dead and The Omen are ones I really liked. Night of the Living Dead is great. I had forgotten about that. The shooting and then the still shots that had a gritty, documentary feel. The hooks in the body. Yes, what an ending.    Posted:   Jan 16, 2016 - 3:09 PM     By:   mgh   (Member) Ambiguous endings are great. My favorite? John Carpenter's The Thing.

Too bad the tapes are lost.    Posted:   Jan 16, 2016 - 3:14 PM     By:   mgh   (Member) And I will two more to this thread: The Tall Man (2012) Predestination. I can't tell you anything about them because it would ruin it, but both will leave your brains in knots.     Non-Film Score Discussion: What Film Had The BEST Ending?    << < 1 2 3 4  > >>  Go to page:  1 2 3 4   First Post    General Discussion • Trading Post • Non-Film Score Discussion  Profile • Preferences • Community Rules • Help/Contact • Search Board You must log in or register to post.   Go to page:  1 2 3 4
