Primal Fear - Norton was great.
The Devil's Advocate - BTW, Pacino's rant on God was unreal
The Lost Boys
Ravenous
The Professional - Well, not the the very end but Oldman's face and one word, "Shit".
Four Rooms
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
Whew...tired of thinking.

I saw Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer last night and was blown away. I did not see that ending coming. It reminded me of the ending to Night of the Living Dead the first time I saw it. So, I thought it would be a good idea to post some movies that have endings that you don't see coming and are great. My third pick for best ending would be The Sting. What are your picks?
TITANIC - no, just kidding.
1. FIGHT CLUB
2. SCHINDLERS LIST
3. SAVING PRIVATE RYAN

OK, Scott, I saw the Argentinian film, "Nine Queens."
It's a fun movie. I could not figure the scam within a scam within a scam within a scam. I keep looking for it and trying to stay one step ahead but, nope, couldn't do it.
Very enjoyable and very David Mamet. I want to watch it again.

Years ago my mother used to say to me... "In this world, Elwood, you can be oh so smart or oh so pleasant."
Well, for years I was smart.
I recommend pleasant.

I think the ending to Jaws has virtually every other film ending beat. Who can deny the profound depth of Roy Scheider and his incredible exploding shark?
"Smile, you son-of-a-bitch!"
Every film should end like that.
Other favorites:
Yojimbo
Seven Samurai
The Untouchables
The Godfather Part II
Army of Darkness
Rushmore
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre - The original, not the sloppy, over-stylized remake!
Reservoir Dogs

I thought the ending was priceless; an elaborate, well-deserved sting revealed. Glad you liked it.

Scott, without giving anything away, did you figure it out? I surely did not.

It even surprised me the second time, and tell me RJ could have done it any better.
