Best Movie Ending of All-Time?

You must be Will Munny, out of Missouri. Killed women and children.

That's right. I've killed women and children. I've killed just about anything that walks or crawls at one time or another. And now I'm here to kill you, Little Bill.

Fucking goosebumps, man.

 

You are still dangerous. But you can be my wingman anytime.

Bullshit, you can be mine.

 

I can't believe I forgot about these:

Into The Wild
To Kill A Mockingbird

... and I REALLY can't believe I forgot this one:

Real Genius ... the popcorn is fantastic.

 

How the hell did I forget Poltergeist "YOU ONLY MOVED THE TOMBSTONES!!!!"

With the last shot of the TV being pushed outside the hotel room. Classic.

 

I have to mention The Shining here.

In the middle of the movie, Jack says,

"It was as though I had been here before. I mean, we all have moments of deja vu, but this was ridiculous. It was though I knew what was going to be around every corner."

And the last scene shows a picture from a party at the hotel from the early 1900s ... with Jack front and center.

 

And of course a little before that is the snow maze scene. That kid came up with a pretty brilliant idea.

 

Casablanca should have been listed in the top 5 for everyone.

One I haven't seen mentioned - One Flew Over the Cucoo's Nest

 

Good call on Casablanca

 

My exact two choices, BB. As I was scrolling, I kept thinking, no Godfather? No GB&U? Sacrilege!

Of course, the real ending in The Godfather is where Michael now is in charge and Kay gets shut out of the family business, first when Michael lies to her face about killing Carlo and then literally when his henchman Al closes the door on her. Great foreshadowing of Part II.

GB&U ending is an all-timer, too. Hard-ass Man With No Name, but just a little bit redeemable.

 

Dead Again - Clever as hell. I don't want to give it away.
Rob Roy - Never has a character that needed to die died so satisfyingly.
Rounders - No after-school-special lesson about gambling being bad. Gambling almost gets him killed and he's still gambling.
12 Monkees - Also very clever

 

The Longest Yard 1

 

Solid choice, Boomer. I assume you mean the original.
