I don't know what "flop the nuts" even means.Teddy’s all-in play was arguably a bad one as well
Wasn’t really the closing scene though.Teddy’s all-in play was arguably a bad one as well. But, great movie and satisfying ending.Great scene, but as a non-gambler I have never known exactly what Damon did to win.The end of rounders was awesome. Esp if you like poker and gambling
You were there?I lived it. Love that movie.My favorite is Secretariat at the last race and the people’s faces are being shown and described what they did and in the background is the actual Penny Chenery the real owner of Secretariat. My eyes watered a lot in that movie!
My “didn’t see that coming” ending would be The Village.

No, wish I lived it that close, but I did watch all 3 triple crown races live. I grew up in Ky, where horse racing is king and Secretariat had caught the nation's attention like no other before or since. On the cover of Time, Newsweek and Sports Illustrated, The Belmont Stakes was surreal. Jack Nicklaus confessed in an interview that he cried while watching Secretariat win the Belmont by 31 lengths, but wondered why. “All of your life, in your game, you’ve been striving for perfection,” CBS’ Heywood Hale Broun told him. “At the end of the Belmont, you saw it.”You were there?I lived it.

Fast Times at Ridgemont High did the same thing.They're basically the same thing, so I'll mention the endings of Animal House and Stripes, where we learn what happened to the characters after the movie ended.
Douglass Niedermeyer: shot by his own troops, Vietnam.
Senator and Mrs. John Blutarsky, Washington, D.C.
Win a dream date with Ox!
Ziskey on the Russians: They're pussies!
Haven't see it mentioned here but Carlitos Way deserves some love. "Remember me, Benny Blanco from the Bronx?" Epic line. Definitely an underrated gangster flick. One of my favorites, up there with Goodfellas.

It's the sequel to scarface. Better than scarface as well
I am totally shocked nobody mentioned Karate Kid.

Otto...great song.100% recencty bias, but I bawled like a baby during the end of A Man Name Otto last night.

Not best ending ever, but definitely best ending of a Chevy Chase 80s comedy, and maybe best ending of an 80s comedy overall: By the way, I charged it to the Underhills....
For sure - the "what the hell did we just do" look they give each other is priceless.It's very subtle but the ending of The Graduate is pretty great. Just a look.
Movie ending was so much dumber than the book.... Hollywood at it's finest.The Mist

Great answer. This ending took me completely by surprise, but in hindsight it was perfect and I should have seen it coming. I'm not a big fan of Mel Gibson movies overall, but Apocalypto is the one title of his that I would say is underrated.Apocalypto had one of the most powerful endings I can remember and such a clever way to end the film.
Another great one that I think people are overlooking because it's not a twist or anything. In the space of less than 60 seconds of film, we get:Dazed and Confused. Aerosmith tickets! :slowride:
I just watched this three times. Beings back memories for sure. We used to always pull all nighters to get tickets, and bringing the sun up with the boys. My favorite ending ever, I lived it many times.

Airplane also had a great ending come to think of it
Yeah I know, but it's a Mel Gibson movie. He has something to say about the Aztec civilization, and he's going to hammer that point home come hell or high water. Both of those events were critically important to what Gibson was saying. The didacticism is what I don't like about his films, so you and I are sort of agreeingGreat answer.

SPOILER
I loved the movie, but the ending suffers a bit from such highly unlikely timing when our hero is saved, first by a solar eclipse and then by a fleet of Spanish conquistadors - each arriving precisely when needed to spare him from certain death.
Never understood that one.2001: A Space Odyssey

I thought the book ended perfectly.. left it up to your imagination. Needing an ending, any kind of ending, is Hollywood to me. Was it edgy? sure.. but it still felt wrong to me. But if King himself said he liked the ending better, who am I to argue.. I'm just an ordinary Constant ReaderMovie ending was so much dumber than the book.... Hollywood at it's finest.The Mist
I disagree actually. It was one of the few examples of the movie ending being way better in my opinion. Even Stephen King loved the movie ending:

Stephen King defended the film's grim ending as "terrific" because it was "so anti-Hollywood — anti-everything, really! It was nihilistic. I liked that." In the oral history of the "The Mist" for /Film, Frank Darabont recalls his hesitation to change King's original ending. He wanted to make sure the author approved of the new direction he was taking his story:
"I put it in his hands. And he wrote back and he said, 'I read it. I love your ending. I'm sorry I didn't think of it, because I would've written that instead.' [...] [H]e said, 'We need movies that dare to piss people off.'"
