I like a good ending. Let’s see.

The Godfather
Forrest Gump (really the last 20 minutes or so)
Braveheart
The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King
The Prestige
Interstellar
Memento
The Silence of the Lambs

Nice idea for a thread!

The Natural. Loved it as a boy and it’s never changed. Greatest ending of any film I ever saw. Roy Hobbs!

Very different from the book ending. I prefer the movie as well.

I’m gonna go blow my nose now. Frown


Another one like that is the ending to No Country For Old Men

The Gods Must Be Crazy, I. The 'end of the Earth' is breath-taking on the big screen.
The Gods Must Be Crazy II. Re-uniting with the lost children is a joy.
The Gods Must Be Crazy III, Crazy Safari. A taoist mage and Xi! save bis tribe.
The Gods Must Be Crazy IV, Xi! defeats smugglers.

There are a lot and most have already been mentioned. One of my favorites is The Bedford Incident. I was so shocked at the ending. It was great!

And you're one of the few in agreement with me.

I hated that ending at first, but after getting over the shock value (and the fact it wasn't HBO that went out), I love it!

Not a great movie but love the ending of DePalma's Raising Cain.
