doomedout Posted June 5, 2004 What do you guys think are the best endings to a motion picture. (WARNING: thread obviously may contain movie spoilers) Mine would be: Exorcist: When he looks down the stairs and the chilling music starts. Godfather 2: Michael reminiscing alone (dinner scene and "Michael say Good-bye) and torn as the camera pans out. Terminator 2: Thumbs up scene: Classic, though somewhat cheesy, but wtf. Se7en: Unbelievable ending, Pitt looking out the window and the Ernest Hem's quote. Glory: The only war film with an awesome ending. (Apocalypse Now was too abrupt methinks) Reservoir Dogs: The shootout (though someone please tell me who shoots "Nice Guy Eddie"?) 0 Share this post Link to post

Best speech ever, I agree with every word. Other great endings: Fight Club; city falling apart as Edward Norton holds the girl and the smoking hole in his neck as the Pixies play. Great movie overall. Alien ³ : Perfect ending to the trilligy; Ripley gives her life to stop the alien threat and a quote from the first movie, "This is Ripley, first lietenent of the Nostromo, signing off." 0 Share this post Link to post

sargebaldy Posted June 5, 2004 Well, I liked the end of both Reservoir Dogs and Se7en, but I'm not sure if I'd say either was my favorite. Actually I watched a Korean flick a couple days ago called Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance.. that had a pretty loveable ending :P 0 Share this post Link to post

DaJuice Posted June 6, 2004 I liked the ending to Heat. Alien3 was great too, and I agree about that line "This is Ripley, first lietenent of the Nostromo, signing off." For some reason that part really gets to me. 0 Share this post Link to post

Russell_P Posted June 6, 2004 The only memorable film ending that springs to mind at the moment is the ending of Sanjuro. It's the squel to Yojimbo. The two main characters stand face to face, only two feet apart, for what seems an eternity. Then they draw their swords and..., well if you've seen it you'll never forget it. Awesome. 0 Share this post Link to post

wildweasel Posted June 7, 2004 Time Bandits - a chunk of Evil is stuck in the parents' toaster oven, and causes a major house fire. The parents investigate the chunk, and they both accidentally touch it and are turned into nothingness. The toaster oven just continues to emit yellow smoke, while the kid just stands there wondering what happened. "Mom! Dad! Don't touch it, it's EVIL!" 0 Share this post Link to post

I love how he slowly goes mad until the inevitable conclusion. been a long time since Sanjuro... is that the one he gets the snot beat out of him being between two rivals, then comes back and kicks some ass? Kurosawa had some great movies. 0 Share this post Link to post
