Best end credits for a film

I always loved the fact the Ghostbusters end credits feature the crew packing up and heading home like it's been an ordinary day on the job:

Dope - lead dancing in the end credits - it's funny but he is clearly very talented

Predator, when they each turn to face the camera.

I loved "A Series of Unfortunate Events" replaying bits from the film with cut out animation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVV0ONSiQoA

If I remember rightly the cast do some Bollywood dancing during the end credits of Slumdog Millionaire, which was a nice touch and entertaining.

Another Lynch'un - INLAND EMPIRE. The cast of characters (plus a one-legged woman, a monkey, some lumberjacks and Laura Harring out of Mulholland Drive) gather together in the main character's mansion for an absolutely joyous dance routine and lip-sync to Nina Simone's 'Sinnerman' as the credits roll. Feels a bit like a gift to the viewer for surviving the rest of the film.

Nothing more than the choice of music, but Ray Noble's Midnight the Stars and You playing over the end credits of The Shining.

No one has mentioned the fake outtakes that used to be in the credits of every Pixar film, but I prefer how The Incredibles and Ratatouille closed with some pretty cool stylized 2D graphics which made me wish the whole film(s) had been animated like that.

Off-topic, but Deerhoof recorded a version if this song and I love it nearly as much as the Noble/Bowlly version:

Haven't seen it mentioned on here so apologies if it's nothing new to you guys!

Robot and Frank end credits are sublime.

Original Friday the Thirteenth has a lovely bit of synthesizer music over the closing credits.

I like the end credits for Wall-E.

I love that movie. William Pedersen's had an odd career. Two of the cooler movies of the 1980s, then relative obscurity, then best part of a decade in CSI (which probably left him set for life).

In (further) tribute to the opening credits to the great Kiss Me Deadly (relevant part starts at 1:27, but watch the whole thing for evidence that Cloris Leachman was pretty damned hot in her youth): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjVmZAwg7lQ

The Dirties has end credits styled after various iconic films.

These credits follow the climactic scene's abrupt end (on a line which it would probably be pointless to quote out of context.) I considered posting it in the "Great ends to movies" thread, but wasn't sure whether I was responding to the ending, the credits, or whether the two were operating in tandem? Perhaps this is the case in a lot of films, in which case the people who immediately start crowding for the exit as the credits roll are missing the point even more than we already suspected.
