The Game!!! yeah it was brilliant!

Fight Club was also great!!

Now, cause of all talks about Signs & The Sixth Sense, who could really TELL that it was going to end that way? Who managed to understand the ending before it was there?

Anyone really thought? "Ah man, Willis is dead, just as the boy says..." and then in the end "yeah.. I knew it" .... Or in Signs? How could tell that the fate about Grahams dead wife and his daughter water behaviour was going to rescue them all in the end?

I didnt.. I was totally shocked, and thats the way I want a movie to end!

Wow I must have totally ignored your post for some reason, those are some GREAT picks (except for Basic Instinct and No Way Out which I havent seen)

Primal Fear has an amazing ending (was there any doubt after that flick that Norton was gonna be huge?), both that and Seven left me stunned.

few endings i like..

John Carpenters The thing - You just dont know if he's infected or not or if he's just gonna freeze there and die.

Godfather Part 2 - The last scene where it showws micheal corlene sat as fredo is killed thats some powerful shit as you witness his descent into everything he didnt want to become

Shawshank redemption - That movie is just a masterpeice and written by one of the greatest contempory writers of our generation.

Usual Suspects - Masterpeice and this came from a movie that everyone predicted was doomed to fail.

Signs - Deep when you look into that movie

Carlitos way - Awesome movie

Truman Show - another awesome movie

n there would also be fight club seven etc etc

Endings i hate

Hannibal - Lame

The Hulk - cheesy

cabin fever - i dunno i just didnt like it i thought it was a cop out idea

28 days later - Bollocks

Home Alone - i wish theyd got that lil smart ass fucker and strung him up with the xmas lights

hey leave 28 days later alone....

Signs was pretty cool but the ending wasn't at all intelligent or original.

and there were some gaping plot holes, I mean what was the mentality behind the aliens choosing earth to attack?

Alien1 - "Let's attack here"
Alien2 - "The planet that's covered mostly in water?"
Alien1 - "Yes"
Alien2 - "We're allergic to water"
Alien1 - "And?"
Alien2 - "What happens when it rains?"
Alien1 - *shrug*
Alien2 - "You're an idiot"

I actually did enjoy the film though.

Anyway, best endings... hmmm I liked:

Chasing Amy
The Eye (Really enjoyed it, I know quite a few people hated it)
Sixth Sense (First viewing)
Blair Witch
...and probably a lot more I just can't think of at the moment

Worst endings?

Stephen Kings IT
Stephen Kings DreamCatcher
Stephen Kings Needful Things

... are we sensing a theme here? I love the guys ideas and quite a lot of his books/films. IT was one of the scarriest films I've seen but the ending... the giant spider. That was just plain shit.

**multiple post sorry**

I kind of liked the ending to Needful Things but yeah, a lot of King's adaptations are either shit or have shit endings (or both). A great adaptation is Rose Red, scary flick with a great ending. Other than pretty much that, you can add all of the other King adaptations to worst endings.

Easily better than the shite film

IT was so damn scary... I saw it once when I was like 7 years old, could sleep for like a week :P Now I dont dare to see it again... lol... The ending wasnt that good tho

Dreamcatcher must been like one of the worste movies ever made.. I thought it was cool until that 4 meter long Alien showed up :P and the ending? It was horrible... That kid turning into some kind of super warrior alien? :P PLEASE... *sorry for spoilers, but u dont wanna see it anyway*

Pirates of the Caribbean
Primal Fear
Double Jeopardy
Monty Python: Holy Grail (couldn't be bothered typing it all out)

Worst ending has got to be jaws 4 the revenge. how the fuck can stabbing a shark with the bow of the boat make it explode????
Matrix 2 leaves you hanging big style,( thank god we only have to wait a few weeks till its release).

The best has to be se7en, usual suspects was spot on.

I like films where the usual formula is not followed i.e the good guy does'nt always win, get the girl ori f we are lucky the good guy dies. Most movies have this notion that the good guy always wins if that was the case then movies would be really bad as they do not always need a hero just a believable plot where you can't predict the ending 5 minutes into the flik.

I remember sleep away camp movies lol. I liked "The Life of David Gale" that was a good movie all around. I thought "Wes Craven: They" was not all that good.

wow don't even get me started on that piece of shit movie. Wes Craven had absolutely nothing to do with it, apparently they paid him to throw his name into the title.

Imagine "Steven Speilberg presents ET". ha.

Best: Requiem for a dream

And to the fuckers that claim matrix reloaded has a crappy ending:

Thats not an ending, the movie(story) hasnt ended yet. Wait for november.
