101 Best Movie Endings of All Time
The Top 10 are below. My verdict is that these are mostly boring art films designed to appeal to a small group of pretentious people.
1. Beau Travail: I never heard of it
2. The Third Man: Heard of it, but have never seen it
3. Mother: that was a good movie
4. Big Night: meh
5. Some Like it Hot: I've seen clips, but not the movie. The clips are interesting.
6. Phoenix: never heard of it
7. 8 1/2: artsy film that I've heard of but never saw (the name alone gets two snaps up!)
8. Eyes Wide Shut: ugh; it sounds like a stupid artsy film about Important Things
9. In a Lonely Place: never heard of it
10. Portrait of a Lady on Fire: never heard of it

It’s a “Look at Me!” List.

Robert Aldrich's film noir classic Kiss Me, Deadly (1955) has a great ending which was shot on the same stretch of beach he used for the final scene of Whatever Happened to Baby Jane (1962). His 1968 film The Legend of Lylah Clare has a memorably bizarre ending.

Another vote for "Kiss Me Deadly" and also "The 400 Blows".

OP, why post this as you've apparently never seen a movie in your life?

Where is Sleepaway Camp? That should be number one.

Agreed, R2, and I say that as a big fan. In fact it's my favorite Christmas film.

So you're an idiot and proud of it, OP, we see.

I'll vouch for Portrait of A Lady on Fire having an incredibly powerful ending. It's really emotional and it's impressive because there is no dialogue-it's just an extended shot of one character's face with some significant music playing.

OP, either you're dumb as a box of hair, or you're just trying to be contrary. See a few of the movies you mentioned, like, say, "The Third Man," and get back to me.

Strange list, but I'll throw one in here:
Gaspar Noe's "Irreversible" - It's told in reverse chronology, so all the rough stuff is shown at the beginning of the movie. By they end it it "ends" on a peaceful note, but you the viewer already know what's going to happen to them.

I love the ending of Planet of the Apes.

Agree with mother! But how about Melancholia? Mulholland Dr.? Holy Motors?

The end of Beau Travail puts me in mind of Music and the Mirror.

R4 is correct, Kiss Me Deadly has one of the greatest, craziest endings ever.

My best movie endings usually involve one actor cumming on another actor's face.

I'm too stoned already for the day so too lazy to click on OP's link. But Cinema Paradiso better be ranked right up there near the top. Makes me cry every damn time I watch it. Just perfect.
