Post a video or write out your favourite endings to films, we did this with games, but I don't remember a film one =)

FMJ is just a huge political punch in the penis to American values, the entire film follows Pvt. 'Joker' and his thoughts through the Vietnam war. I guess you have needed to watch the rest of the film to understand how great this closing scene is..

Shawshank the Redemption has my all-time favourite ending to a story ever (and I *hate* happy endings usually), I fully admit crying when I watch it. It is another finale where you have to watch the full film to appreciate it however, the bit in the room where it says "So was Red" mainly.


Oh, and it's narrated by Morgan Freeman That is like, instant-fuckin'-win.

It's gotta be the ending of the original Italian Job for me, being a literal cliff hanger (skip the first half of the video):

I think the reason why it ended like this was because back when it was made it was illegal for the 'baddies' in a film to be successful.

WRONG! XD

The reason it's left like that is because the Director cut off the last 15 minutes of the film! What was meant to happen is that the mafia drive past them and help them off the cliff before stealing the gold, then there was going to be a sequel, but the director felt that the cliffhanger would be so much more awesome, and he's right XD

Just saw it on TV, and I really don't see what all the fuss is about.




JOKES it's better than... um... Empire: Total War...?

Chaz is right
In actual fact at the time of the movie being released it was illegal to show criminals getting away with their criminal activitys in films as the goverment did not want criminal activitys being perceived to pay off.
So they had to leave it on a cliffhanger to give the impression that they might make it away with the gold without going against the law :D

Oh and its an awesome ending anyway

LET'S BUMP THIS MOFO.

Ending to Shutter Island - doesn't seem that epic or anything, but it has a sort of double twist which is why I liked it. Video won't make much sense if you haven't see the film, but you shouldn't watch it anyway if you don't want to spoil it for yourself:

Not necessarily best ending, but a really good film anyway is Falling Down.

Pulp fiction the whole film as it's not really linear.
Reservoir dogs ending.
Battle royale resistance start up at the end.
Full metal jacket with the kid.
Harold and kumar go to white castle :D
The way back (not so much the ending but the best movie I have seen in a very long time)
Pineapple express in the diner
12 monkeys
Truman show

Both really funny endings
Snatch

Reminded me of this ending (in two parts to cut out boring-er bit inbetween):

Love is simply because of Ronseal-covered Michael Gambon and the music by Lisa Gerrard, who also did the epic music in Gladiator.
