Top 20 Movie Endings

[David Jimerson]

As always, there is much to be quibbled over in this list. But at least they don't do the usual thing and weight it heavily toward the last 10-15 years.

my pick would be The Killing. "Ah, what's the difference."

 

[Luis Caffesse]

Gotta love Sterling Hayden.

I like the ending of Ironman where they're having the press conference and Robert Downey says, "Ok, I'm Ironman."

 

[Batutta]

I would add the last 20 minute attack on the death star in Star Wars...and the last 45 minutes of Jaws, which is basically one long ending.

 

[Kirk Gillock]

Two words: FIGHT CLUB!

That ending is perfection. The Pixies, "Where is You Mind" is playing, buildings are falling, and he says, "You caught me at a strange time in my life."

 

[Ryan Patrick O'Hara]

The Usual Suspects
The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou
Leon: The Professional

The end of that tarintino movie Death Trap when the girls kick Kurt Russels ASS and then high fives all around! loved it ah haha.

 

[Bob Gruen]

I agreed with most of the article's list, except for the order and the #1 pick: Carrie. Really??? I didn't really like Fight Club, but I got to admit that it belongs on the reordered list, popping Carrie out of course. The Usual suspects is tops in my list...

"Seven" should of definitely been highter up on the list. But can't argue too much with the list... I know a few are missing from there, but like all list of this nature, there's always disagreements.

 

[Derrick_SA]

I'm not sure what I'll put of for best 20 endings, but without a doubt the worst ending for me is the ending of "No country for old men"!

[bill totolo]

"Greed".

 

[DerrickTempleton]

Terminator 2's ending is so glorious.

 

[thartley]

The first movie ending that had me smiling and laughing all the way back out to my car was Risky Business.

Off the top of my head:

There Will Be Blood- "I'm finished!"

or

Even Dwarfs Started Small- The laughing dwarf and the crapping camel

 

[Drew Ott]

The Usual Suspects
The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou
Leon: The Professional
Dr. Strange Love or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb
Shawshank Redemption

Awesome list, though I might switch Dr. Strangelove with One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest or Cool Hand Luke.
