OT: Ending to Movies

big red22 · Nov 10, 2015

So to go topic, and change pace

Is there an ending to a movie that just left you speechless?

I have seen a lot of movies about Nazi's, War, Mass Killings... none bothered me as much as "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas". It was ones of the most disturbing endings to a movie that I have ever seen, and the crazy thing is, you knew it was coming!

Anybody have any movies with jaw dropping endings?

The Planet of the Apes.

Titanic. Had no idea what was gonna happen.

But for my serious nomination, Scarface.

Bone Tomahawk had one of the most graphic kills in the end I've ever seen.

I saw that movie last week. All the reviews describe it as a horror film. With the exception of one very graphic scene, it is just a good cowboys and indians western. The one graphic scene looked like something you would see in a Nazi war crimes movie. I liked the movie a lot though.

Empire Strikes Back. As a 9 year old, it blew me away that Vader could be Luke's father.

resdog851 · Nov 10, 2015

Back when M. Night Shamalan(sp?) used to make good movies, I really liked the ending of Unbreakable. Great main actors and I really didn't see the surprise ending coming. Well done.

The Mist. Gut punch of an ending.

wseattlesker · Nov 10, 2015

The Boy in the Striped Pajamas--unforgettable ending. Gallipoli will leave you weeping, too--and I don't care how macho you might think you are. On the brighter side--King of Hearts.

The ending of Whiplash totally fascinates me. Wonder what that kid was thinking about his "teacher" at the end?

This, it was like a 'holy sh!t' type of moment. If he had just waited another 30 seconds or so.

Usual Suspects had a great ending.

SilentCommit · Nov 10, 2015

Usual Suspects, for sure. "Who is Keyser Soze?" I think I really appreciated The Usual Suspects the most, because I totally didn't see the ending coming. Looking for Mr. Goodbar, Psycho, The Sixth Sense...perhaps Memento.

Roller Boogie - I was astonished Terry Barkley (Linda Blair) got shipped off to Julliard to learn how to play the flute in the end. They might have shot a second happier ending, but after they wrapped shooting Blair had to fly to Florida to appear in court for cocaine possession.

Grease - Who woulda thunk sweet Sandy would end up being a cigarette smoking, camel-toe sporting sleeze?

Revenge of the Nerds - I still can't believe Betty Childs dumped starting QB and campus heartthrob Stan Gable for a myopic, buck-toothed nerd.

How the Grinch Stole Christmas! (1966) - he gave back the Jing Tinglers, Flu Floopers, Tar Tinkers, Who hash, and roast beast - really, I mean REALLY???

Electra Glide in Blue...long lost favorite....

Band of Brothers speach by the German general. (Yes I know it was an adaptation of Henry V). Great ending showing both sides of that awful war.

regoratsginrom · Nov 10, 2015

Carrie....scared the crap out of me at the time.

Gone Girl...hated the ending.

Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid.

Breaking the Waves. Best ending of any movie I've seen.

Holy crap. I just remember that. Sort of like Electraglide In Blue. Very unexpected.

" The Sting "; a great ending and a real audience play off the ending to " Butch Cassidy and the Sundance kid". I had a rare two first dates the week the movie came out. The first date I sat initially stunned by the ending ; taking the second date to the same movie at her request - I broke out laughing in a stunned and silent theater at the ending ( like a lone sadist ).

That ending is quite the kicker, especially from a movie that is an 80's teen movie and somewhat raunchy.

Does this movie star JOsh Banderas?

grayhairedfreak · Nov 11, 2015

No Way Out (Costner really was a spy).
Sixth Sense

I know it's a 60s cultural icon and was way before my time, but I think Easy Rider is incredibly overrated. Nothing happens for 90 minutes and then they get killed.

Agreed, Carrie scared me also

Gone Girl...loved the ending, she deserved a good husband, she was willing to go REALLY REALLY far to prove that.

Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid, I wish I was old enough to have seen this before I was 5. It bet the ending was awesome if you could full comprehend it at the time.

I'd like to add Scream, very cool, good twist. What I liked about it, was that it was so obvious, yet you still couldn't be sure.

The Bad News Bears (original one). I thought for sure Kelly Leak was going yard. I still think he got under the tag though, lol.
