Just remembering the ending makes me want to watch the movie again. Good one.

City Lights. For me, no other ending comes close.

Canonball Run (which i think is the first ever ending to have presented 'easter eggs' in the form of bloopers)

Blazing Saddles has a good ending, even if it is the typical "riding off in the sunset" cliche

Quote:

Buddy Bizarre: Cut, cut, cut, this is a closed set.
Taggart: Piss on you, I work for Mel Brooks.
[Winds up to punch Buddy Bizarre]
Buddy Bizarre: Not the face. Not the face.
[Taggart complies, punching him in the stomach]
Buddy Bizarre: [collapsing] Thank you.

It's not the ending, but it is close

The Bad Seed

Little Rhonda on the dock, trying to retrieve the medal out of the lake..BOOM! CRASH! Lightning strikes.

I know she was just a little girl and all, but the vicious, pigtailed bitch kinda had it coming.

I still have the soundtrack to that one

Ray Stevens baby

I'd have to say Peter Sellers Being There had the best ending. Although I did like the ending to Ferris Beulers Day Off as well.....the School Bus ride home for Mr. Rooney and then Ferris himself asking the audience why they are still in the theater ..."go home, it's over"

I agree with you. I love showing Being There to people who know nothing about it. I think the ending is one of the purest moments of modern cinema. Peter Sellers was arguably never better then in his role as Chance the Gardener. The ending is also a nice counterpoint to the film-ending I choose as the best.

But if you haven't seen the movie, by all means, forget the link and just put it on your Netflix. You'll regret seeing the ending first, trust me.

When my parents first bought a VCR(paid like $900 for it.....in 1980!) the very first movies we rented were Harold and Maude---which has a pretty good ending too---, Breaking Away, My Body Guard,and Being There We watched them all back to back in a row enjoying our new toy. I loved them all but the ending to "Being There" is just so good

Speaking of Being There, it also has bloopers running in the end credits, and that was two years before Cannonball Run. Not all prints of Being There had the outtakes. I remember reading that director Hal Ashby preferred they not be included, as they kind of break the spell of that film's poetic ending. All the same, they went over well with the audience I saw that movie with back in '79.

I saw the movie - but I can't remember how 12 monkeys ends
