Best Endings
 
Could you please list some really good movies with bizarre, twisted or just plain cool endings that you really enjoyed or were bewildered by. Try and make the movie list suitable for 15 year olds (ie no extreme drug use, violence, sex scenes, etc.). I'd appreciate that. :y:

BTW, don't actually tell us what happened in the movie, just good movies. Feel free to confirm certain movies. I've seen the Sixth Sense also.

Haha when I was 15 I only watched movies with extreme drug use, violence, and sexual content.

The Usual Suspects would be right up your ally I guess. I think it's a little overrated but you should like it.

Identity
Memento

One Hour Photo, maybe?

adaptation was good like that. I mean, it fu</>cked with my head a bit, but at least I knew what my options were and I kind of understood what was happening in charlie kaufman's head when he made the movie, trying to work out at first if it was true, then if part of it was true, then if any of it was. incredible movie.

mulholland drive was a ****ed up ending. i thought it was f</>ucking stupid though. I couldn't pick the reason for that one out if you gave me a decade.

I just saw Matchstick Men yesterday. Nice ending to that one. :y:

Triple A 04-12-2004 04:09 AM

Full Metal Jacket (end of first 45 mins)
The Others
American History X
Primal Fear

And the ones people listed here.

Triple A 04-12-2004 04:11 AM

No wait, all of those are pretty violent and/or sexual. Besides The Others.

I personally watch them, but the thing is we're doing this short story thing in school after the holidays, and we need to come up with a "unique" ending. We're allowed to bring movies in to see some good examples of "unique" endings. MA15+ would be the absolute maximum we would be allowed to watch.

Thanks for the help, The Usual Suspects will be on my list to check out. :y:

The Others is a pretty good movie. Thought the ending was perfect. :y:

Out of the other ones, I've only seen Full Metal Jacket. That movie is :y::y::y::y::y:.

LoDownM 04-12-2004 06:27 AM

Basic's ended was pretty good. Had you thinking one thing, but ended up being something else. But maybe that's just me.

Vega 04-12-2004 06:45 AM

Donnie Darko has a pretty random ending.

Seyda 04-12-2004 07:26 AM

Stephen King's 'It' has to be my all time highest disappointment for an ending.

Oh god, when I read "Stephen King's 'It'..." in a topic about great movie endings, I was about to go on a rant. As far as awful endings to great movies, that's about as good of an example that you can ever have.

Dazz 04-12-2004 10:45 AM

Die Hard 2 has a quality ending, when Willis sets lights the fuel in the snow, and then it trails down and catches onto the bad guys plane and explodes. But thats not it, then all the planes that couldn't land can then land because the fire means they can see where they are going. And all is good.

Shaggy 04-12-2004 11:22 AM

Fight Club
Memento
One Hour Photo

TheNamelessOne 04-12-2004 01:20 PM

The Usual Suspects ending was completly wasted on me. Some fag told me what happened in the end.

Penner 04-12-2004 01:32 PM

Taking Lives was a kind of good ending

Mr. Nerfect 04-12-2004 04:30 PM

I've seen Reservoir Dogs, and if you'd read my post you'd know why I requested some suitable for a strict high school teacher who barely even lets us watch movies.

Yeah. It wa sort of one of those things that doesn't really twist, but it surprises you (at least from what I've heard). I've nevr actually seen the movie, so I think it'll be good just for that. :y:
