The Greatest Film Ending of All Time - Page 7

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.

But what happened to the bloody monkeys ????

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.

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."
