it is one of the best plot twists ever imo. you know something is up on the island, but who saw that coming??? i lent it to a co-worker and her husband was livid at the ending.
i would like to see the remake of Hills/Eyes.
that's a good point, it was completely unexpected, I just hate people being burned alive more than most anything, a major personal fear or some shit. Hills Have Eyes was alright, I really only saw it because Aja's name was attached and I was a big fan of high tension (another good ending, or twist at least). It was pretty fucking ridiculous, and most women I know who have seen it , definately some shit that is worse to the average person (not me) than someone being burned alive.
1) the sixth sense (the surprise ending) 2) the village (the surprise ending) 3) unbreakable (the surprise ending) 4) lady in the water (the surprise ending) 5) signs (the surprise ending)

oh how could i forget, Innocence, too.
I saw wicker man in the theater. Before it, they ran a crazy trailer for a movie called "the Shout" about someone who can kill people by yelling. The preview was wacky, with dead cows lying on the grass & someone covering their ears. Has anyone seen this?
i saw it again recently and i did not like it at all. the only thing i liked was the yardbirds but i could not be interested enough in jetset britain in the 60s to stay awake. but it was kinda serene for weekend afternoon naps, especially the extra quiet scene of vanessa redgrave in the park
l'avventura is my shit though. antonioni is alright
Co-sign also on Empire Strikes Back. Nice way to end on the dark side.
Speaking of Stars War, that's my favorite part of Clerks II, when the Lord of the Rings -- L.O.R., dude! -- and the Stars Wars camps are arguing what's better. Randal was totally dissing on L.O.R. Pt. III... when Sam gives Frodo a "very gay look." That part was one of the few redeeming points of Clerks numero dos.
One of my favorite endings:
Magnolia (Exodus, like whoa)
Another one:
The Wild Bunch (depressing but can't really think of a better way for those guys to go out, same thing with Alfredo Garcia -- Sam Peckinpah does not go down!)

dude magnolia is just robert altman's shortcuts with the over-saturated film school smugness knob turned up way past 10. that and shortcuts seemed liked it was actually about, you know, real people. boogies nights was cool and everything but paul thomas anderson is kinda the radiohead of film

I didn't wanna say anything since I thought I was the only one here that thinks that way (getting to be an unfortunate matter of course around here I'm afraid), but yeah. I liked Boogie Nights too (despite the mysterious and total absence of AIDS, even as a passing mention) , but Magnolia felt like the most pretentious, masturbatory piece of crap ever. Too bad, because the precredit sequence was pretty incredible and teased of promise and the last 15-20 minutes was interesting to say the least. Not that I made it all the way to the end the first time out. I finally caught the end on cable a couple years later, but Magnolia was one of the few flicks I walked out on - during the horrendous sequence where the entire cast abruptly breaks into song... "When will it stop?" I believe they were all singing? My thoughts exactly. Peh.

Thought about this for a minute. I'm ready to name my top movie ending.
Ending ur movie with this and then a video game screen =

Yes.
Jodorowsky: Holy Mountain
Wilder: Sunset Blvd.
Tarkovsky: Nostalghia
Kusturica: Time of the Gypsies is great too
Yuck that's the worst of all fucking time. I hate that movie because of that ending. hate it.
Personally my favorite ending scene of a movie and fight scene in a movie was from Enter the Dragon.

Are you really range Enter The Dragon and Blow Up on the same level?
Love Bruce... but you must be joking..
Blow up was garbage. You must be joking.

I wouldn't mind going through your trash then.
2) the village (the surprise ending)
3) unbreakable (the surprise ending)
4) lady in the water (the surprise ending)
5) signs (the surprise ending)

house of flying daggers
also, tropicalia is not psychedelic
I don't remember the ending of this being anything special. The ending of "One Night In Mongkok" was good. The ending to Blair Witch was memorable.
breakfast club when the guy jumps up and it goes "dont u forget about me"
but for real,
DO THE RIGHT THING
M Night Shamalamanan or whatever his name is needs a graemlin
So did "La Haine" - AMAZING ENDING. FUCKED ME UP GOOD AND PROPER
Dancer in the Dark
Bonnie and Clyde
Silence of the Lambs
Rear Window
co-sign on Do The Right Thing and Shawshank.

Them Orson Welles/ Joseph Cotten films got some damn good endings too
