LSPE has identified the best closing line ever, and in a movie that features the glorious Del Coronado to boot.

I really like Bruce Campbell's agonized howling at the end of Evil Dead 2, and the similar cry of anguish in the unused ending of Army of Darkness.

Some Like it Hot, no question IMO (speaking for myself anyway)

Aha, LSPE beat me to it, and Flippyshark, as well...

This would be my favourite too.

....and I had lunch at the Hotel Del.

I'm sure I'll catch hell for this one, but Empire Strikes Back.

And I'll add Manos: Hands of Fate. I hardly remember what the ending was, but it doesn't matter because the sight of that movie actually being over was the happiest of my life.

My problem with the ending of Empire is that it's more of a denouement. If the movie had ended with the scene between Luke and Vader... now that's a swell ending. But the whole falling down, hanging in space, saved by Leia, and then testing the new mechanical hand before the actual ending gives me too much time to catch my breath.

LSPE just reminded me:

The Italian Job (the version with Michael Caine) - for one of the best cliffhanger endings in movie history.

I'm with ISM - I'll throw stuff out and see what floats

Citizen Kane - Rosebud
Raiders of the Lost Ark - Big Warehouse
Dr. Strangelove - We'll meet again
2001 A Space Odessy - Star Child

As for openings, I like:

Delicatessen - The Rythym
Contempt (Le Mépris) - Do you like my ankles?
