10 Best Movie Endings of All Time - A CineFix Movie List

Ойын-сауық

In case titling a video “10 Best Movie Endings of All Time” wasn’t enough, here’s the BIGGEST SPOILER WARNING OF ALL TIME! We’ve looked at how movies begin, so this time we’re digging into all the ways they can end. They can twist or offer catharsis, they can wreck you with sadness or overwhelm you with joy. And how many otherwise good movies have been sullied by a less than stellar ending? And because they say there are only two important parts to a movie, the ending and everything else here are our picks for the 10 that have done it the best.
From bittersweet happy endings like Shawshank Redemption, Amelie or Charlie Chaplin’s greatest hits, to sweet-bitter sad endings like Portrait of a Lady on Fire or Call Me By Your Name, to an ambiguous, top spinning ending of Inception or a cathartic full circle tied-in-a-bow ending from Martin Scorsese like The Last Temptation of Christ, filmmakers have many tools to choose from when wrapping up their movies. There are even non-ending endings like Silence of the Lambs or Ex Machina. Endings that happen too fast like Monty Python and the Holy Grail or Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Each kind of ending has it’s own risks and rewards, and the films that do it best end in a way that’s satisfying, fresh and also seeming somehow inevitable. It’s hard to narrow it down to just 10!
The Picks:
00:00 Intro
00:25 Happy - Cinema Paradiso (1988) dir. Giuseppe Tornatore
02:46 Sad - Dancer in the Dark (2000) dir. Lars von Trier
05:18 Abrupt - Sword of Doom (1966) dir. Kihachi Okamoto
07:33 Gentle - In The Mood For Love (2000) dir. Wong Kar-wai
09:38 Twist - Psycho (1960) dir. Alfred Hitchcock
11:56 Ambiguous - A Separation (2011) dir. Asghar Farhadi
14:05 Catharsis - 8 ½ (1963) dir. Federico Fellini
16:12 Non-Ending - Come and See (1985) dir. Elem Klimov
18:03 Breaking the Frame - Waltz with Bashir (2008) dir. Ari Folman
20:20 Poetic - Beau Travail (1999) dir. Claire Denis

    Yeah, sometimes I think, “I can’t believe I didn’t know this film existed?!” My list grows every time I watch them. But then, that’s at least partly why I watch. Their No. 7 pick, the, “Putting the movie to bed,” pick, overlooked The Madness Of King George, where the King and, “Mrs King,” literally tuck themselves to bed and review their recent experiences, the state of their country and their family, and ultimately decide they’ve had pretty good lives and that their love made most of it worth while.

I still would need to rewatch the list and see the movies, but one can tell, not funny or happy is not per se sad. because maybe, what happend before the ending tells what the ending means.

    I have always preferred the ending to Fallen Angels better than In The Mood For Love. From the way the ash on Michelle Reis' cigarette is too long, the slight smirk she gives when she pulls her bangs out to the clip, to the final quote "The road home is not very long, and I know I will be getting off soon, but at this moment I am feeling such lovely warmth" and the slow motion short coming out of the tunnel, it just works for me. I think the end surpasses the film itself. Also props for hitting the Korean cinema hard. 3 Iron, Memories of Murder, Parasite, I Saw the Devil, Mother

    Ah, the Lighthouse. My favorite film of the year. Our local film reviewer, Mick LaSalle, said he hated it. Films that fascinate and leave a mystery intact but get you close to power are usually short films. Experiments not relying on commercial success. It's the tremendous release of energy that comes with discovery and realization. Yours. It's the last 2 minutes of Miles Davis's Live Evil double album.

    I totally agree with you. Cinema Paradiso has one of the best endings ever. I saw this movie for the first time when it was re-released in cinemas in 2002. I went in knowing nothing about the movie, all I knew was the hype. I saw the movie for the first time and I was blown away. I cried like a baby in the theater during the last scene. Strangers seated next to me gave me a smile because they understood the emotions. I was so emotionally moved by the ending. And this movie is now my favorite movie of all time. It's a real love letter to cinema.

    Agree! The story tells that the original cut was seen by Fellini (Which in the movie, appears in the end as the technician who projects the film) that told Tornatore that in what probabely was a crap film a real beauty was hidden. So a new cut was done (probably by Fellini himself) and that is the genius beauty we have now. In fact the original cut was released many years later, with the 2 teenage lovers meeting as grownups and it was awful.

    Three of my favorites not mentioned in the video: Whiplash - A 10-minute drum solo is used to depict the consummation of a toxic relationship. It seems triumphant, but it is not a happy ending. A History of Violence - The movie ends with a wordless scene about family. It's flawless. Michael Clayton - Totally a cathartic ending. Then ends with an extended close up of Clooney as he processes what just happened, much like The Graduate and Call Me By Your Name. Also, I imagine the ending of Another Round will age well. It's somewhat similar to the #1 film on this video.

    It's a non-ending in the sense that we don't know what Ava's intentions are past that point. You spend the entire movie questioning what she really wants, what she is and if she herself even knows. It ends on her clearly being more than she has led on but leaves us with the questions of what that actually is and what she plans to do now that she is out there. The initial question, is Ava alive and what does she want, is never truly answered.

    Am I the only one that thinks that they got the Cinema Paradiso ending wrong? The cuts shown in that final scene were not simply the "happy endings", they were not even necessarily endings at all. Those were the kiss scenes that the town priest had censored but that the young kid stole and kept in a tin box in their film form. That final movie of cuts were the beautiful moments that were stolen from the Cinema Paradiso, which had an enourmus importance in various ways over the whole movie. I respect CineFix a lot but I was surprised to see them seemingly get this scene completely wrong.

    Not one mention of Whiplash. I’m not sure which category it would have fallen in, but I found myself thinking it could fit in multiple. But the reason I love it is because I had no idea where the story could go after Terrence seemingly “won” and Andrew walks off the stage. From a writing stand point, I felt like there was no where the story could go. Like they had written themselves into this horrible ending. But then he walks back out on the stage and I still have no idea what’s going to happen, until the literally unimaginable happens. Like I actually couldn’t imagine it in my wildest dreams that he just starts the song on his own.

It did for me at least. I watch the scene almost every night because it’s so therapeutic, never loses its power. Fantastic movie, a must-watch for anyone who feels the same way I did.

The movie ended, we were outside, and I was enthusiastically talking about Trevor Howard, Valli, Joseph Cotton, the soundtrack, the cinematography, Welles’ appearance in the doorway, the sewer... and both of them just smoked, staring at the sidewalk until I shut up. They looked at each other, and one said, “The ending.” And the other said, “I kept waiting for the credits to roll... and they never did. It was the most tense, saddest moment I’ve ever seen in screen. You can’t make that ending today.”

    Keep up the good work! Perhaps you could do a top ten plot /conflict resolutions? And if I may, you should consider Waking Ned Devine for best comedic resolution.
