Classic film endings

Its got to be the ending in 2Carrie" for me when the hand comes through the grave as the children visit the cemetry.

The coach hanging off the cliff in The Italian Job - the "original" cliff hanger!

I would have said The Italian Job, too. I love the end of Billy Elliott as he waits in the wings before leaping across the stage - the build up is so powerful and emotional. Fabulous!

Casablanca
The Usual Suspects

'Nobody's perfect' at the end of Some Like it Hot.

Gone with the Wind,
Where Rhett says to Scarlett "Frankly my dear I don"t give a damn"
She thinks it over and says "I will think about it tomorrow , after all tomorrow is another day"

<applaud>

Now, Voyager. "Oh, Jerry, don't let's ask for the moon. We have the stars"

Casablanca -" we will always have Paris "

I also love the ending of Billy Elliott. And Gone With the Wind too.

Thelma and Louise is another film with a powerful ending.

So is Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.

And Easy Rider

Have to agree with "Gone with the wind"

I saw Les Diaboliques when I was a student and never got over the scarey ending .
The Sting ending was good too, watched it many times.

I love the ending of to kill a mockingbird, when Jem takes Boo Radley home,

I also love the ending of Butch Cassidy - I slept under Robert Redford for years, as he covered a hole in the ceiling where my brother had put his foot through when mum and dad were on holiday...

I'd forgotten about Butch Cassidy - it was a perfect (though poignant) ending.

The Usual Suspects

I was going to say Butch Cassidy too.

There is a wonderful old black and white film called Now Voyager starring Bette Davis and Paul Henreid. At the end they are looking out at the night sky and he hands her a lit cigarette... it's SO romantic... And the final line is "Oh Jerry, let's not ask for the moon; we have the stars".
I LOVE this film.... anyone else seen it?

Now Voyager does it for me it has to have the most wonderful ending absolutely charged with emotion I love the way he lights two cigarettes and hands her one.

The Third Man
Pandora's Box
The Red Balloon
Crin Blanc

Glammanana,got to agree with you re Carrie,I watched in the Cinema and jumped right out of my seat at the end,years ago but never forgotten it.

It's wonderful, isn't it chloe1984. Definitely the most romantic film ever.
About as good as Casablanca really, athough not so well known.

Now voyager
Casablanca
Out of Africa

Have just thought I also really like the ending of ' an officer and a gentleman' not as romantic as Now voyager but wow Richard Gere sweeping me into his arms is beyond romance just sheer lust I think. (He would also need to able to lift really heavy weights!)

How about Doctor Strangelove, with Slim Pickens riding the atomic bomb like a rodeo cowboy, as it falls on Russia?
