top 10 greatest movie endings

    in the vein of the awesome movie scenes thread and the low budget sci fi gems thread i want to hear from you what your 10 favorite movie endings are ! i for one am of the opinion that the ending can make or break a movie even if the 90% before were shit an awesome conclusion can turn anything around ! and i really mean the ending here dont just post your 10 favorite movies of all time for example i dont think that the ending of "heat" is really all that strong which is incidentally my all time favorite these days !

    -the last crusade ( a more perfect trilogy conclusion couldn't have been executed)

    -the fountain

    -the plague dogs

    -blade runner (directors cut/final cut)

    -28 days later ( dvd bonus alternate ending)

    -children of men

    -8mile

    -end of evangelion

    -akira

    -brazil

    -se7en

    -collateral

    -apocalypto

    -the last king of scottland

    -the good the bad and the ugly

    after careful consideration i opted for not putting them in order often it depends what kind of mood you are in ^^ also i over shot the goal a bit with 15 movies :derp: so if you only have 3 at the top of your head let me hear them too...

    i want them quality endings show them to me !!!!!!!!

    I cant believe you guys forgot The Mist

    I thought of the Mist as soon as I saw the topic title, because I knew someone would mention it. Is it good, though? It's certainly shocking and comes out of nowhere, and that seems more what the topic is about, but I wouldn't put it on the good pile. In context it doesn't make a lot of sense and it wasn't in the original story, it's just a sudden cheap as shit way to end the film.

    In the "completely depressing, but perfect" ending catagory:

    Requiem for a Dream

    One flew over the Cuckoo's nest

    Donnie Darko

    Chinatown

    All really depressing endings, but all perfect.

    Quote

    ":1w2qnjym]Man, Requiem for a Dream put me in a depressed mood for 2 hours. And that's exactly what the movie was trying to achieve so they win.

    I'm still depressed from it, and I saw it like 8 years ago
