Was flipping channels and the movie Castaway was on.  I’m not a huge fan of the movie although I liked it.  However, the end of the movie was great, IMO.  What are some of your favorite movie endings?

Some others on my list:

• Shawshank Redemption
  
• Psycho
  
• Sixth Sense
  
• The Usual Suspects

Oh yeah Third Man is exceptional- that long take and the music, it’s just perfect. Sticking with crime/noir, how about White Heat?

Inside Man

 

[Short Corner]

No Way Out

 

[Sullie]

FX

To Live and Die in LA

Terminator

Raiders of the Lost Ark - just because I didn't expect that ending, I thought it was very cool and it was unexpected (to me anyway.)

The Pledge * - I know, I know it's a terribly depressing movie, ending is depressing but it's just a movie.  .  .the thing of it is, is what I liked is that it was different, they went out on a limb and did something completely different, at least that should be applauded I think.   I'll say this, this is NOT a date night movie, it's a watch alone kind of a movie I think just because it's so dark and depressing.
