I'm pretty sure there have been previous threads on the subject but a friend of mine asked me to post it here because he was curious what responses here would be. What do you consider the best movie endings? Now this doesn't necessarily mean a happy ending or the ending you wanted, but the ending is appropriate the story that you have been presented with up that final scene. What movies do you think have the best endings? I'll throw a few titles out there to get things rolling:
Hannah and Her Sisters...first of all I want to say that I think there are very few screenwriters out there who write better endings than Woody Allen and this is one of my favorites.
Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?..Haunting and creepy, just like the rest of the movie.
The Way We Were...Yes, we all wanted Katie and Hubbell to work out but we knew it was never meant to be, but the movie doesn't end with them being bitter enemies and I love that.
Murder By Death- That double reverse whammy ending was a doozy
Cassandra's Dream - Another double reverse whammy ending
Greedy- The final scene had me cheering
The Purple of Rose of Cairo- This one had me weeping the first time I saw it.
