Best Endings

Agreed. Sobbed when I first saw that.

Here's a beautiful version of the tune[nb]fans of hat fucking will note the love theme is not by Ennio Morricone, but his son.[/nb]:

"Good shot! OK, he's dead; let's go get 'im. That's another one for the fire."

I remember shouting "NO!" out loud when I first saw this. I think it might've been the first film I'd seen that had an "unhappy" ending. Then I saw "Wicker Man" and then all bets were off.

Superman breaking the fourth wall, smiling and flying off to the sound of John Williams.

Great call on Cinema Paradiso. I started crying reading the post.

The Graduate had a good one

Spoiler alert

He does this big dramatic romantic gesture, she says yes, they drive off together. Their elated smiles slowly start to fade

It's bleak and brave. And a bit of a masterstroke

Weird how Hoffman starred in two big films of the late sixties (The Graduate and Midnight Cowboy) both of which end with him

Ah yeah, I remember now, I just had a look at the spoiler. I couldn't remember what happened at the end.
Yeah, great little film that. It was a weird one for me because I had to stay with these strangers and I didn't like it, everything was different and I was all alone, sat in the spare room watching that late night on channel 4 on a tiny telly. Sucked me in, but I think I would have liked it better on my home turf.

Night Moves, the Gene Hackman private eye movie. Such a perfect ending for what came before.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'd go so far as to say that all of the great neo-noirs of the seventies into the early eighties (well, '81, anyway) - Chinatown, The Long Goodbye, Cutter's Way, Blow Out - all come with brilliant, gut-punching denouements.

Cracking thread.

It's not a good film (although it is one I enjoy) but the ending to Escape From L.A. is genuinely ace. Everything from the point that Snake crashlands the helicopter is gold.
