I love a great ending like Last of the Mohicans (Mann), Glory, Little MIss Sunshine - anything that can get a tingle going. What are some other ones that just seemed perfect?
Dr Strangelove is a pretty great ending. Also Horse Feathers with all four Marx Brothers trying to jump Thelma Todd. Come to think of it Duck Soup is great too with all four brothers pelting Margaret Dumont with fruit.
Strangelove definately has one of the greatest endings ever. I love all of Kubrick's movies and he usually ends it very well. The Shining, Eyes Wide Shut, and Full Metal Jacket are all ended with a way that makes you cringe and think.
I definately like this movie for its bigger than life story and performance but I have always called this the best bad movie ever. I love the ending. Good call.
I usually like non-dramatic/ dramatic endings - i.e. "Magnolia"...frogs falling from sky, death, overdoses, foiled robberies but it ends with dialogue whispered into a character's ear that you cannot really hear with one long steady shot of her face. Same with that still shot in "Dangerous Liasons" of Glenn Close removing her makeup, her life completely destroyed.
on the other hand......"State of Grace" has a great shoot em out ending.. "One False Move" has a great violent ending and the requisite " The Usual Suspects" and i love the ending of "The Unbearable Lightness of Being"
for the ultimate "cheese factor" "ultimate ending": "Point Break" ( sorry....had to)
(Stephen King's) The Mist.
I kept thinking I was going to hate this movie, but it surpised me. I really liked (dare I say "loved"...?) it. The ending left me with an icky feeling for a few days...
