The ending of Ghost Dad. I was so happy when it was over.

Seriously, though, I've been trying to think on this for two days and nothing is jumping to mind. For some reason I have always been more interested in how a filmmaker decides to start a film than how exactly it is ended (it doesn't help that more often than not I think the director waited at least 5 minutes too long to end it, most epilogues should be cut).

Mostly I'm posting because I'm hoping by admitting I can't think of anything that'll clear my brain and suddenly I'll have those "damn it! I should have said..." moments.

I like the ending of Star Wars: A New Hope. Leia presides over Han and Luke's wedding. So touching... a real tear-jerker.
:D

Heathers: "Heather, my love, there's a new sherrif in town."

Usual Suspects, Ferris Bueller, - I agree
Don't remember 12 Monkeys either, but I know I saw it.

12 Monkeys viewing party at my house!

I love 12 Monkeys - I actually have 12 Monkeys on one of my nametags at work.

The ending of City Lights gets me every time. It's wonderful. The close up shot of Chaplain at the very end is so very amazing. If you haven't seen this movie, see it.
:)

I pulled out my Chaplin box set yesterday and watched City Lights again.

Wow. What an ending. I think the last time I watched the movie was in high school. I don't remember being as moved as I was yesterday, sitting alone in the living room with my dogs wondering why I was sniffling.

Thanks for bringing it up, GC.

Yeah, it's the ending of "Some Like It Hot".

It was as affecting last night as when I first heard it in 1991:

"Lowenstein . . . . Lowenstein."
