The ending of Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978) absolutely scared the beejezus out of me when I was a kid.
As much as I like the original film, the ending of the remake is so much better.
One of my favorite parts of that film is Leonard Nimoy gaslighting the hell out of everyone. Funny to see Spock doing that.
'One That Flew Over the Coo Coo's Nest' is a therapeutic movie.
A lot of people could relate to that movie.
They are trapped in their own hospital and they can leave anytime they want but
they are too scared to, they are broken.
The movie received a standing ovation at the Oscars and for a long time was considered the greatest MOTY winner.
Roger Ebert initially didn't like it but later gave it the top rating it deserves.
This movie melts a lot of hearts.
Ebert always liked it, he said so in the very first episode of his show with Siskel and give it a positive review. At that point in time it was the greatest best picture winner of all time but I don't think that was such a consensus, a lot would have said godfather 1 or 2, both had won by that point.
@@Mr.Goodkat he didn’t give it a 4 star review on his initial review.
I forgot the details but he is known for not liking many great movies like Diehard.
The Siskel and Ebert show has a huge list of classics that one or the other didn’t like.
@@move_i_got_this5659 Yeah he didn't like die hard, die hard isn't a great movie anyway. He did like Cuckoo's Nest though.
I feel like the ending of "Nights of Cabiria" is one of the most touching and powerful moments in the history of cinema: the music, the wonderful acting of Giulietta Masina, the framing of the camera, the parade...everything perfectly comes to an end in a single instant, and the moment she smiles the meaning of the entire movie is laid bare.
Agreed. Also When a Woman Ascends the Stairs which seems almost an homage to the Fellini film.
yes its one of the classic film finales
La Strada is also a great ending. Scorsese's introduction on the Criterion release sums it up perfectly.
Love the ending to "Nights of Cabiria" and everything (the editing, the music, etc.) seems almost perfectly in sync...
Terminator 2 STILL makes me cry by the end! A movie about KILLER ROBOTS, and I still get tears in my eyes when John is hugging the T-800 before he lowers himself into the lava. Man tears every time! No joke!
Greatest action movie of all time.
"Unforgiven" by Clint Eastwood. The WHOLE movie building up to that crescendo gunfight in the bar...that is literally jaw dropping. Then the movie epilogue is like "And then he went on his way". Legit awesome
Agreed. Bits of authentic representation of "west", dying livestock, illiteracy, abandoned children, horror of killing/death and so many other little bits culminating in a shootout matched only by comical ending in "Going South". Guns so inaccurate at almost any distance and last man standing is the one so despondent, so utterly surrendered, his own possible death not even factored into equation.
Agreed and the music theme 'Claudia's Theme' helped immensely.
Blow Out has a devastating ending. I also like the one in Mulholland Dr. The searchers a classic one to.
Heat has a really solid ending
Casablanca. The ending is the “beginning of a beautiful friendship”.
Maggie is one of the best film critics/reviewers on CZcams. It's a crying shame she doesn't have more subscribers. I see Maggie as the Tori Amos of CZcams celebs---incredibly talented, almost to a genius level (listening to Maggie just talk is an experience in itself) but only known to a select few fans:) Love everything she has to say, AND I love that she hasnt changed her background in years!
Solaris (1972) has one of the greatest endings of all time. I was left speechless by the end of it that it became a masterpiece. It’s an ending that will stick with you forever.
The whole movie is something else the first time watching it. Such a great movie.
I’ve never seen but just looked up on RT and 90% critics review, will checkout thnks
@@thewebstylistYou’re in for a treat. I’ve seen that movie twice and I still only understand about 75% of it.
Great choice. One of the all-time great closing shots. The last shot of Nostalghia is also haunting and dreamy.
the solaris novela is even better than the movie. 🎉
For me, the ending of "Roman Holiday" continues to resonate literally decades since I've seen it. Wyler's refusal to give it a Hollywood finale was a gutsy move, and brought an ultimate truth to the film one doesn't see coming. Brilliant.
Always enjoy the ending of John Carpenter's The Thing. Most recently the ending of Mandy by Panos has got me watching that film repetitively 🎥
City Light by Charlie Chaplin is my favorite movie ending. It's totally killer emotionally.
I’m right with you on that! That was my pick as well.
Tár was so damn good--probably my favorite release since Parasite.
There Will Be Blood and Harakiri are the two that came to my mind first, they’re both the perfect explosive conclusions to incredible and devastating films. The lead characters… get what they want in a way at great cost.
One of my favourites endings is The Swimmer (1968) ❤
I came across this description from drdavid1963 here on youtube about the ending of Lawrence of Arabia and it so well describes what I have also felt about it.
The ending of Lawrence of Arabia is a beautiful summation of the movie. We know he is heading home to his death (having seen it at the beginning). So, when the officer says, 'going home, sir' we feel its irony because this complicated man has felt more at home in the desert, the site of so many of his great adventures. And the appearance of the motorbike (we first hear the sound of the motorbike over Lawrence's non-reaction to the officer) as it overtakes the jeep, throwing up dust as we cut to the windshield through which we see Lawrence slowly obscured by the rising dust. It's cinematic storytelling at its finest. And very moving.
Lost Highway. Takes you from scratching your head to banging it against the wall by the end. Love love love it.
Thank you for discussing TAR. Love watching you discussing movies.
I feel the ending resonated with her opening interview, where she boasts how she controls the time in orchestra. But in the end, she wears headphones implies how this cancelled maestro is not above it. At end she truly sublimated, humbled to the music. This dense movie studies hollowness of genius. Kudos to Todd Field & Cate Blanchett for this masterpiece.
Billy Wilder’s “Some Like it Hot” and “Double Indemnity” have phenomenal endings. In terms of more recent films, PTA’s “The Master,” Sofia Coppola’s “Marie Antoinette,” and Rawson Marshall Thurber’s “Dodgeball” are some of my favorites.
And Sunset Blvd. "I'm ready for my close up Mr Demille."
@@nathandensley9104, absolutely!
And Witness for the Prosecution. I absolutely love Billy Wilder
and the apartment
My favorite movie ending goes all the way back to 1931. It’s “City Lights,” and that exchange between the Tramp and the Flower Girl is so profound despite its simplicity.
Tramp: “You can see now?”
Flower Girl: “Yes, I can see now.”
I’m getting weepy just thinking about it!
Your viewers always give interesting picks, and I love hearing your responses to them. One of my personal favorites is "Being There" (1979). I won't spoil it for anyone reading who hasn't seen it, but it casts a spell over the film that makes us question everything. I still read so much into the closing image about life and death, ideology, and human nature. Having shown it to friends recently, I can say it still generates profound discussions.
Coming Home the year before also has a great, very powerful ending. Hal Ashby was truly one of a kind and his music choices would never cease to disappoint. 😊
In subsequent viewings one can see hints throughout Being There which culminates to that final scene.
@@darrylgreen5655 Such as?
@@Mr.Goodkat As one in the school of thought that Chance is the Second Coming, aside from him walking on water, examples include:
1. He is a gardener (as in the Garden of Eden); the nurturer of living things (as when he removes the dead branch to allow the sapling to grow)
2. MacLaine's character's name is Eve, who is a good soul but is evidently subject to being wayward.
3. Political operatives plot to use Chance as a political tool, which coincided at the time the film (and the film's book) was made when religion and invoking God began to be common practice in making political appeals.
4. Chance always spoke in simple, virtuous proverbs where people misread or misused his messages; just as people often misunderstand and misuse religious tenets.
But, perhaps the film was intentionally a cinematic Rorschach test where we are left to make our own interpretations, but I think Jerzy Kosinski had the above in mind.
I always thought that ending of The Conversation is just perfect.
Love your channel. Tar is loosely constructed according to Mahler's fifth symphony in that the first 3 movements have no closure ending in midair, the 4th movement is a beautiful slow movement, actually Mahler's marriage proposal to Alma, that's Tar going back to her roots and her 'mentor', Lennys concerts on VHS, and the last movement of the symphony throws everything to the winds in an ironic twist.
Greed, City Lights, Close-Up, Cries and Whispers, Sunset Boulevard,
Bicycle Thieves, Umberto D, 2001, Red, Easy Rider, The Ascent, Stroszek...the list goes on
I love the ending of the original "The Gambler" starring James Caan. Such an intense ending. I also love the ending of Takeshi Miike's "Graveyard of Honor".
The end of Kurosawa’s Sanjuro must surely be one of the best - even if it was somewhat accidental (it was never intended to be quite so bloody). It’s certainly the best ending to a sequel. On the subject of Kurosawa, I’ve always thought his ending of Stray Dog is the best ending for any detective noir - it shifts in tone from a thriller to something metaphysical.
Beau Travail, at least among films that I have seen more recently.
It was so unexpected that it compelled me to watch the whole film a second time. Until that point I had struggled to identify a strong theme in the narrative, now I think it's one of my 10 or 20 favorite films ever
Big Night from 1996 has the sweetest, most heart-warming endings.
The two brothers and their busboy, in complete silence, cooking an omelette and comforting each other is so wholesome.
Other great, touching endings i love: City Lights, Harold and Maude and A Matter of Life and Death.
Big night is one my favs. King of Queens reenacts the end scene in the episode where Doug wants to open a sandwich shop.
I’ve never seen or even heard of but just looked up and wow 97% Fresh critics on RT so will checkout
The ending of The Shawshank Redemption. I get choked up every time Morgan Freeman talks about wanting to see his friend and shake his hand. Also the ending to Thief... So badass and what a great song they play called "Confrontation".
best ending of course goes to John Wayne in the Searchers, which is definitely the most iconic.
Some Like It Hot - "Nobody's perfect" has to be the greatest final line ever.
It’s A Wonderful Life has the GREATEST and most emotional ending, ever!
You gotta review that film!
that has to go the Searchers sorry.
Leon the Professional: "This is from...Matilda"
'... Cuckoo's Nest' deservedly won best picture in '75, and the nominees were Nashville, Barry Lyndon, Jaws and Dog Day Afternoon. Has there been a stronger year of contenders? Nicholson's performance is perfect imo.
" You're Working For Me Now " - To Live & Die In LA
My interpretation differs from the director’s, but the ending of Pan’s Labyrinth clobbered my soul in the best possible way
E.T. has a phenomenally astounding ending especially with John Williams' sweeping crescendo.
The ending of Take Shelter always jumps immediately to mind. Jessica Chastain looking at her fingertips, then at the camera, before saying, "Okay."
"The last American Virgin" has one of the best endings, especially since you dont expect it from an 80s rom com. I wonder how ahead of it's time it was, like other critically acclaimed movies or shows but they did it first. Might be one of the few to do that ending.
Wow. I came here to say that. It's a repackaging of an Israeli film called Lemon Popsicle.
Many great movie endings that come to mind.
Magnolia (1999) - love the final shot as the camera pushes in on Melora Walters and "Save Me" starts playing.
Fight Club (1999) - Cue "Where Is My Mind" at the moment the buildings start to come down.
Gangs of New York (2002) - again, great needle drop moment, "The Hands That Built America" blaring as New York changes over the years makes it one of the most grandiose closing shots.
The American Friend (1977) - they drive all night, drive the ambulance onto the beach in the morning, Dennis Hopper lights the ambulance on fire and Bruno Ganz finally ditches his crazy ass. 'He never did bring the Beatles back to Hamburg.'
La Dolce Vita (1960) - they party all night, they wander down to the beach in the morning.
Nostalghia (1983) - that shot is straight out of a dream - bloke sits in front of a cabin overlooking a pond - camera slowly pulls back to show the whole thing is inside a giant cathedral.
The Quiet Earth (1985) - the last epic shot of our character transported to an alien beach, and watching a matte painting of Saturn gigantically rising in the background.
Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind (2004) - that last looped shot of them running on a snow-covered beach.
Edit: oh, and Enemy (2013). Random left-field ending. And I love it.
And of course, I totally forgot Down By Law (1986) - that final long take when John Lurie and Tom Waits part at the fork in the woods. Man.
And who could forget Being There (1979)? Peter Sellers, as he walks off across the water? "Life, is a state of mind" (Sellers even had that line inscribed on his memorial plaque).
You are so right on Tar, it, Todd and she got robbed, but bear in mind the Oscars is a popularity contest that sometimes rewards art, just enough to keep you watching. BTW, it’s ending was also genius, she goes back to what made her feel about the music in first place, it’s the music, it’s the work that counts. I can see how some folks think it represents how low she has gotten, but I see a deeper meaning, it’s bringing your genius to the music, no matter where that is. BTW, the key to the picture and the character is a throwaway line where she says that she’s a “Uhaul lesbian.” At first I thought it was there to establish Fields’ bonafides, but by the movie’s end it represents her emotional immaturity, or lack of emotional depth that comes with having relationships based primarily on convenience which eventually leads to her downfall. BTW, besides being a huge movie buff, head of several film fests and a couple of film fellowships, I am an attorney whose speciality is sexual harassment and discrimination.
Four Of My Favourite Horror Film Endings...
Black Christmas (1974)
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974)
Carrie (1976)
Poltergeist (1982)
My Favourite Horror Film Ending Of All Time...
Sleepaway Camp (1983)
Thanks for making videos eh.
I like the ending of An American Werewolf in London.
I met Christopher Lloyd last year and asked him about Cuckoo's Nest. Not often you get to ask someone "What was it like working with Jack Nicholson?"
BEAUTIFUL REVIEW. THANK YOU.
I love ambiguous/abstract endings. My favorite of the last ten years is The Florida Project. It’s such a surreal crescendo, in response to all the heartache that led to it. And I love a clever final line… a couple good ones from recent years are Honey Boy: “I’m gonna make a movie about you,” and Barbie: “I’m here to see my gynecologist.” Those left solid last impressions.
Planet of the Apes (original) - seeing the Statue of Liberty was a great moment in cinema.
Ran - the blind character left on the hill felt so sad.
Chinatown / Falling Down - I admire the courage to end a film so bleakly.
I’d love to see you make a video on the Best TV Finales! Nathan Fielder’s The Curse recently had a pretty polarizing ending and it’s honestly now one of my favorite endings to any show ever
Fear is the one emotion that stays with me a lot longer than happiness, sadness or joy. The Summer of '84 is the only movie in my entire life that scared the absolute crap out of me. It's so real. It has one of the scariest antagonist for me. I couldn't stop thinking about it for weeks. Not sure why it got such a grip on me, as I have been watching scary movies since I was 5 when my dad took us to the drive-in and we saw Jaws and the original Firestarter.
Terminator 2 had a great ending. Robocop as well.
I love the ending of To Die For. It's up there with the best for me.
The first Dumb & Dumber had a great ending.
You'll have to excuse my friend.. He's a little slow.
Have not watched the trilogy in years, however I still think of the pusher 2 ending. Very bittersweet, uncertain and hopeful at the same time. Love it
I know you love it and have covered it extensively but the end of Noce di Cabiria. I can honestly say that even having seen it dozens of times it always leaves me in tears. I'm going to watch Tar (I have seen the rest ) thank you. Happy New Year.
PS Have you seen Ciao Federico? A Doco about the making of Satyricon - the full version is now available on YT. Its a terrible work technically (everyone was stoned) but also (almost because) an amazing insight (not always comfortable) into how the puppet master genius worked....and finally Sharon Tate captured in all her transcendental beauty visiting Cinecitta with Polanski just months before returning to Cielo Drive.
Sleepaway camp and rocky 2 have the best endings
The Usual Suspects, Rocky, the 6th Sense.
I remember when I saw this film in theaters as a young teenager and the crowd that I was a participant of damn near filled the theater, now I can't attest for the other audience members but I know I wasn't the only individual who was weeping heavily at the end of this film because when the credits started rolling a mighty applause lit up the entire room. Now having revisited this movie several times and with the admittance that it is not without its flaws and can be cliched, whilst some of the circumstances of the films final moments can be a lil farfetched and having narrative points left open-ended, the ending nonetheless closes this story on an emotionally gut wrenching note that shatters my heart and leaves my face wet every time. It is the 2011 film Warrior starring Tom Hardy, Joel Edgerton, and Nick Nolte.
For me it's Enemy. Still have nightmares about it sometimes 😫
keep up the good work.
John Boorman's Zardoz and Excalibur both have extraordinary endings. In each one the name of the main character is yelled repeatedly: "Zed!"; "Arthur!"
The ending of Antonioni’s Blow Up (1966) stands out since it inspires a contemplative viewer to ponder the deeper meaning of what they had watched.
not to mention zabriskie point where it does actually blow up literally at the end, or at least in the character’s imagination anyway - & to pink floyd. rad af. 🎉
Almost exclusively devoted to political content, your site is mildly addicting. Honest and intelligent. Btw After reading few comments, I thoroughly separate "twists" from endings that are so stunning they leave one musing deeper meanings about life, death, love, human condition ... etc. Love to see one of your takes on best opening scenes.
Another great aspect of the ending to "Come and See" is how Flyora points the gun toward the viewer. The original title of the film was "Kill Hitler," which Klimov says was meant to represent killing the Hitler within ourselves. So, Flyora shooting his gun at the audience is the film killing the evil that can lurk within anyone.
Mad Max 2 for me - Once it was revealed that the narrator is actually the feral kid as an old man, and also the offhand way he say's that it was the we ever saw of max as the camera pulls back into smoke and darkness - Just killed me dead when i saw it as a kid! Never forgot it- Brilliant! 👌
Some of my favorites:
The Long Good Friday- very effective and creative
Obsession- Bernard Herrmann's soaring, eerie waltz gives the final scene a visceral wallop. I watched it over and over again the first time I saw it.
Once Upon a Time in America
Army of Shadows- bleak but powerful
Cinema Paradiso- maybe too sentimental, but I don't mind
The Last Temptation of Christ- love the beautiful accident of them running out film creating that weird light effect, combined with the wail from the soundtrack
The Good, The Bad & The Ugly is easily the greatest movie ending imo, cinematography, acting, editing and score during those final 22 mins is perfection, even the scenery is fantastic, it's got both very dramatic moments and funny moments and stays true to the characters all the way whilst ending so satisfyingly. Other greats include -
One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest
The Wicker Man (1973)
City Lights
A Clockwork Orange
It's A Wonderful Life
The Usual Suspects
Saw
Manon Des Sources
Mr. Smith Goes To Washington

1) City Lights (and it is not even close).
Then in no particular order.
Planet of the Apes (Charlton Heston)
Brokeback Mountain
Star Wars (New Hope)
On Body and Soul (2016 Hungarian masterpiece).
Past Lives
Considering your love for Klimov and Tarkovsky, I was surprised to see no reviews for Alexei German, who, though less known, is my favorite Russian director. "Khrustalev, My Car!" has my favorite movie ending of all time. Experiencing late German's work is something you owe to yourself as a fan of the medium; there really is nothing like it. I would recommend starting with "My Friend Ivan Lapshin," as it's more approachable, before diving into the madness of "Khrustalev, My Car!" and "Hard to Be a God."
I have subscribed to this channel and turned on the notification bell for its new videos, yet sometimes I get notified, sometimes I don't... What is up with that? Especially considering I always look forward to your content! Anyway, keep up the good work!
For me…The Man who knew too much, its a wonderful life, braveheart, last samurai, to kill a mockingbird
The Man Who Knew Too Much....good one!
Which one. The original 1934 classic or the 1956 remake?
@@taliamason7986 the 1956 remake w/ Jimmy Stewart.
BEN: “I’m sorry we were gone so long, but we had to go over and pick up Hank.“
Just perfection
a recent film that had an amazing ending was The power of the dog. Didn't care much about the movie but that ending was amazing.
A scanner darkly the ending of that one got me good especially at the very end where pkd lists his friends who couldnt make successful comebacks after being addicts
It's a Wonderful Life and Field of Dreams are my favorite endings. I cry everytime
Shaolin Soccer from 2001. It might be just a goofy kung-fu soccer flick, but it has a wonderfully perfect ending that also makes total sense given the film's context.
I hereby submit The Cremator, Au hasard Balthazar, Woman in the Dunes and Whistle Down the Wind. I also agree with everyone who said Blow Up, Beau trevail, Dr. Strangelove, and Nights of Cabiria.
How the HELL is 'SE7EN' NOT mentioned!!!??? I mean, as far as movie endings go...it ranks easily as one of the TOP of all time. Period. I'd like to add 'The Usual Suspects' as well.
Burning by Lee Chang-Dong shook me with its ending. I felt physically upset by it. The whole movie hangs on the ambiguity and mystery for so long and to have it so violently torn away from me almost felt too much to handle.
Denis Villeneuve's Prisoners.
Yi-Yi and The Human Condition: A Soldier's Prayer have two of my favorite endings. Both are very haunting.
La La Land.
When an ending like that, that irritates most viewers but enhances the poignancy of the movie to such a degree, it wins the best movie ending award.
At first viewing, I was in the WTF was that category when seeing how the story was advanced four years rather than keeping it in the present. But upon multiple viewings, I believe that the ending was absolutely brilliant like the rest of the movie. Rather than opting for one definitively stated conclusion, we were shown what Mia and Sebastian's (presumably married) life would have been like had they stayed together, as opposed to the reality of them splitting up. Professionally, they both accomplished their dreams and seemed to be in a contented place. But personally, we are left to imagine how their lives would have turned out had they stayed together. Something we could all relate to. Envisioning how things might have worked out had we selected an alternate course. Anyway, La La Land was/is a great movie. A term I do not use loosely or recklessly.
One of the best things about One flew over the cuckoo's nest was it's humour, mixed with the tragedy. Kirk Douglas would have been a disaster in that movie, and Michael Douglas knew it.
The ending to a quiet earth has to be my favorite, simply because i wish that was me.
I love the ending of Daniel Petrie's Resurrection. Ellen Burstyn is astounding in that movie.
Don't forget about the ending of Runaway Train. Pretty powerful stuff.
Seven. The Godfather. The Apartment (and pretty much anything by Billy Wilder). Black Narcissus (and just about any film by Powell and Pressburger). Taxi Driver. The Epilogue card at the end of Barry Lyndon is also superb.
Dat Barry lyndon doe
"anything by Billy Wilder" 👍
I personally love the ending of Hal Ashby's Coming Home. The powerful speech Jon Woight's character makes that is cross-cut with the impending suicide of Bruce Dern's character and Tim Buckley's masterpiece 'Once I Was' that plays in the background.
Fight Club had a great ending. Substantially different from the book, but somehow it was perfect for the movie. Cue the Pixies.
Lost in Translation: Bob wispering something in Charlotte's ear (that the audience can't hear) prior to them kissing goodbye forever is one of my all time favorite endings.
WHIPLASH! HELL YES! Happy New Year, guys
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Because it seems obvious what the outcome must be, yet there is that glimmer of possibility...
Prisoners. The Usual Suspects. The Prestige. The ending flips the whole movie around. Since it's Nolan, honorable mention here to Memento as well.
Lake Mungo. Often placed in the Horror genre, it's a slow methodical movie where not much actually "scary" stuff happens (until the climax anyway). But the end does something else that make the rest of the movie really "creepy" in hindsight, in a way that sits with you for weeks afterward (I last watched it months ago and I'm getting chills just thinking about it now)
Aguirre the Wrath of God. Monkeys, madness and death.
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. So many of the HP movies end on a bittersweet or purely melancholy note but Chamber is a truly happy ending.
Best one in recent history is Saint Maud. That final shot - oh dear.
Off the top of my head... these movies (and their endings) come to my mind.
- There Will Be Blood
- I Stand Alone
- Taxi Driver
- Fat Girl
- Tar
- AI
- Phantom Thread
- Incendies
- Der freie Wille (The Free Will)
- 2001
- In The Bedroom
Hi! YT tip: to create the actual chapters in the timeline of the video you should add a eg "0:00 INTRO" at the beginning of the list on the description. Hope can help.
I find Whiplash to have a rather tragic, although logical ending. He sacrifies everything to become his teacher and his his view on life as a struggle with pain.
The only good thing about the ending in Tár. is that the ordeal was finally over.
The two greatest endings in film history can be found in Jancsó's The Round-Up, and Resnais' Les Herbes Folles.
I never made it to the end of Tar... after 45 excruciating minutes, I couldn't take any more of it. I just didn't care about anyone or anything in it.
really hope u eventually review the zone of interest and the holdovers
The ending to "Splendor in the Grass" is one of the biggest gut punches ever.
Trainspotting
Renton walking across the bridge, with V.O. “Truth is I’m a bad person, but thats going to change, I’m going to change.” As the picture turns fuzzy and out of focus, just like Renton’s idea of getting clean and “choosing life”
Obviously doesn’t coincide with the sequel. But that was always my interpretation of the ending
