A good ending is already very hard to pull off, but a great ending is practically impossible.
What are some movies that have great endings? Pic related: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTczfT64fAg
Matrix 1
This is the most realistic ending for those "Nerd gets the girl" movies
It's sad but true

It wouldn't even be fucked up if it wasn't for the fact that the beta literally blew all of his money and the skiing trip to help the girl with her abortion and the fact that shes the kissing the guy who bailed on her.

Fucking goddamn hippies got what was coming to them.

>That alternate ending where Joe got drafted by the man who he loved so much and got burned by chinks

Cuts deep but serves him right for driving that pink car.
French Connection Part 2. No denouement, no wrapping up loose ends, justPopeye Doyle finally killing Charnierand BOOM! Cut to credits.

That was a good ending to such a depressing movie.

exactly the response i'd expect from a plebian of reddit

Robert Mitchum is also overrated.
>>63460653
Take that back, Robert Mitchum was never overrated.
>>63460828
fuck I am an idiot. I just looked at the filename and thought you posted this. excuse me.
>>63460875
Not Robert Mitchum or Peter Boyles best but still a solid TECHNICOLOR flick
>>63461595
I will never listen to bagpipes the same way after that.
>>63459472
Painfully obvious, but the usual suspects
>>63459472
one of the best endings ever OP
I'll add some more:
The New World's closing 5 minute montage is astonishingly beautiful https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xGmvfowkQlc
A.I.'s desperately sad, depressing end of humanity sequence
Raging Bull's La Motta reading lines from On the Waterfront is brutally effective
The execution at the end of Dogville
The remarkable feeling of yearning and loss and romance at the end of Before Sunset
Apocalypto.
>>63459472
Does the last 5-6 minutes of Kill Bill count?
>>63463071
>A.I.'s desperately sad, depressing end of humanity sequence
No! AI should have ended the first time it ended.
>>63463458
you think so? how come? I think the way it ends is pretty much completely necessary for the entire film's full impact. do you mean it should have ended when he got to the "blue fairy" in the ship under the water and went to sleep? why do you like that ending more if so?
>>63463487
I just felt the dreamy little "here have the life you wanted" sequence was awful and that the movie should have just ended with him rotting at the bottom of the sea.
>>63459472
At least she finally got to sing in front of an appreciative audience.

the ending makes no sense. why can they only recreate his mom once?
>>63463745
True, and that nerdy guy in the trio got to heroically protect his wife who was cheating on him. Too bad Scott Glenn couldn't save oneitis in time.
