Top 5 Movie Endings

[StephenHero]

The ending of Psycho still gives me the creeps as well. Not in the house, but the scene in the station/ward.

requiem for a dream
the departed

[Agnacious]

The Sting.

 

[MrG]

A couple repeats from above, but mine:

Fight Club (not for the twist, but for the actual ending and use of Pixies)
Dr. Strangelove
Usual Suspects
The Way of the Gun
Eastern Promises (though this may only make the list because I just watched it and it's fresh)

college *** dumpsters 4. To this day, the peter north money shot at the end brings tears to my eyes.

I thought 13 Tzameti was cool, not sure if I would say top five, mainly because there are so many movies that have had good endings but I can't remember them.

Just about any Mamet film, my favorites would be Spanish Prisoner or Glengarry Glennross.

 

[Pilot]

Saw. First time i almost crapped myself.

 

[touchthesky]

Oldboy
Sixth Sense
Saw 1
Deerhunter
Felon (don't hate!)

 

[deliciosrster]

Last Life in the Universe
High School Musical 3
Versus (awesome swords with laser scopes)
Pusher II
The Consequences of Love

 

[Big Pun]

Planet of the Apes is up there.

Some good films already mentioned: Some Like it Hot - best last line for a comedy. Casablanca - best last line, period. Last of the Mohicans - the final sequence along the ridge is a master class of blocking and editing. Brazil - Gilliam's version. The Graduate "Hello darkness, my old friend." lefty

A lot of good ones already mentioned, but I'll add:

American Werewolf in London

I'll have to mention it again: The Conversation. Oh, and also Two-Lane Blacktop.

That's a good one - I edited out of my original post to keep myself to 5.
