What movies had the best endings? Whether they surprised you, shocked you, scared you or just plain entertained you.

My picks are:

1. Scarface- The gun battle at the end was great.
2. The Blair Witch Project- That was a very creepy ending.
3. Halloween- Another creepy ending.
4. Unbreakable- Fantastic ending, never saw that coming!

Deep Throat,Debbie does Dallas....

Oh Climax as in ending.Well let's see I don't know really but those movies I mentioned above had GREAT climaxes but it was a DIFFERENT kind of Climax :lol:

;)

The single best climax was the ending of Bridge on the River Kwai.

Other that I can think of offhand are:
The Wild Bunch
Star Wars: A New Hope
Jaws
King Kong
Unforgiven
The Silence of the Lambs
It's a Wonderful Life

The Sixth Sense--I almost fell off my chair.
Fatal Attraction
The Shining
Basic Instinct
Scarface
Return to Paradise

No, no, no!! 'The Sixth Sense' was craaaaaaap!!!!
When it came out at first all my pals were saying "you gotta see this film - it has the best twist ever! You'll never see it coming!!"
I don't think so!! I guessed what was gonna happen after about 5 minutes. It was just so obvious.
Way overrated.

I think 'Angel Heart' has the best twist-ending ever. 'Mulholland Drive' has a pretty cool ending too (yes, I do actually understand what the movie is about).

Hmm... Thir13en Ghosts ended preety good. Didn't expect it at all.

And Sitcomwriter... you're an ass!!!

LOL Don't feel bad, a lot of people were surprised by the ending. I'm in the same boat as Mossopp, I saw the ending a mile away too. I think I saw it a mile away because people were telling me about such a shocking ending, you won't see it coming, etc, etc. So when I finally went to see it myself, I was expecting something to happen.

Remember, the first wave of people that saw the movie had no idea what to expect. nobody told them about the ending and how surprising it would be. Perhaps that's people Mossopp and myself saw it coming?!?

I only went because I usually like Bruce Willis' movies. So maybe those who were told to expect something special and surprising, should get a handle on there arrogant "superior" intellect.

Well, I have to go now. There are three people in white coats standing in my doorway. If they provide computers at the insane asylum, I'll write back.

LOL

I'll have to say 'A Face in the Crowd' for this post. That had such a surprise ending.

I think "Signs" had the best climax. M. Night Shymalan outdid himself. It's better than "The Sixth Sense."

This is an older movie but, I FREAKED :eek:when I saw the ending...........

The name???

Looking for Mr. Goodbar......... :eek: :eek:

The movie The Usual Suspects also had a fantastic surprise ending!

I hope you haven't left yet because you're not nuts. The Sixth Sense happens to be the 14th highest grossing movie of ALL TIME, so we're not alone (293 million dollars).
I went in knowing nothing about a surprise ending, and I was fooled....and so were a lot of my friends. Trust me Kitt, we're neither stupid or crazy.

I loved the surprise ending to The Sixth Sense. Without that the movie would not have been near as good, it's truly what made the movie.

I agree with briandamage. I saw it not knowing anything about the movie and I was completely surprised, as were my friends who went with me. Had someone spoiled it and told me there was a twist, I would have been looking for it and probably would have figured it out, just like you did Mossopp. Watching it the second time, it really did seem so obvious that I couldn't believe I had missed it.

A similar thing happened to me with the movie 'Fight Club'. My friends kept telling me I had to see it because it had such a cool twist. Well when I did see it I figured it out immediately. When you're looking for a plot twist, it's easier to spot.

It's unfortunate someone told you about it Mossopp, otherwise you might have liked The Sixth Sense better. I don't like it when people tell there is a surprise ending because that always gives it away.
