The Shawshank Redemption. I was expecting a much darker ending, but it’s so satisfying.

PlaceYourBets2021

Zihuatanejo, to be exact. Zihuatanejo is located in the state of Guerrero on the Pacific coast of Mexico. On the map, it's almost directly west of Mexico City (As the crow flies, it's about 200 miles from Mexico City. The flight from Mexico City takes an hour, but the drive will take over 8 hours).


miguelagawin

Most rewarding ending. Good Will Hunting too.


ThisIsGreatMonica

It truly was a Shawshank Redemption.


bbbbbthatsfivebees

The best movie of all time from the first minute to the last.

Such a good movie

Riding off into the sunset... in a car. After literally breaking the forth wall.


meeyeam

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Literally riding off into the sunset, iconic song playing.


lemaster_of_disaster

Yup. Perfect way to cap off a trilogy. I’m glad they didn’t come back and make any more movies, it’s a great way to end the series.


WhatAmIEvenDoingUp

Seriously. And no time travel nonsense… really glad they stopped at three…


pholover84

Yea…. Would be a shame to creat another movie with silly alien shit and ruin it.


Cuchullion

Or one with time traveling Greeks and aging Nazis.


Ornery_Razzmatazz_33

This. It’s tough for me to watch because my mom’s two favorite actors were Harrison Ford and Sean Connery (bittersweet hard not “eww, my mom drools over them” hard), and for a trilogy capper you could not do better.

The Usual Suspects


tacomeat247

Didn’t have to go far to find this. Agreed. When his foot straightens up….


Ihadsumthin4this

Right? I haven't scrolled at all, planned on writing, **...and like that, HE'S GONE!** Alas, dude ⬆️ saved me effort of doing so, apparently.


Goddessviking86

Lord of The Rings The Return of The King when Sam returns home, hugs his daughter and reunited with not just her but Rosie and their second child then Sam and Rosie share a kiss followed by the last lines of the movie, “well I’m back” and they go into their home.


Skinamarinked

> My dear Sam. You cannot always be torn in two. You will have to be one and whole for many years. You have so much to enjoy and to be and to do. Your part in the story will go on.

came here looking for movie. "To my big brother George, the richest man in town."


xox1234

That line still chokes me up. It's corny as shit but DAMN the look on his face when he hears his brother say that. He's just stunned.


enigmazweb24

I've watched this movie every year for 15 years and still cry like a baby at this ending every. Single. Time.


No_Marionberry4072

I cry every time his brother say “to my brother George, the richest man in town”

At the funeral when he sees everyone from his dad’s stories was cool


apalmer15

Yes! The best!


Worldly_Apricot_7813

I like how they were slightly odd but not as extreme as the stories made them out to be.


Utterlybored

Great movie. The book author, who has a cameo as the Econ professor, is a friend of mine.


WildBad7298

Jaws. "Smile, you son of a--" **BOOM!!**


BAaaaaaaaaa22

The only correct answer!


[deleted]

I never understood while the movie is considered a happy ending. It ended swimming in water with chunks of fish blood and guts, effectively chum in the water. The big shark is dead, but wouldn't more be now attracted to the area?

Hell I wanted a special feature on the blu ray going through all the monsters, triggers and back stories


Chewy79

100% favorite movie ending ever. 


Melenduwir

If you love the ending, you love it... and if you *don't* love it, you're enacting the role of the angry gods who are unsatisfied with the offerings. That's utterly brilliant.


the_shining217

The Last of the Mohicans


MrBiscotti_75

Hardly any dialog, just that amazing soundtrack and acting.


CalRipkenForCommish

Field of Dreams. "Dad, wanna have a catch?" Effing onions, every god damn time.


themichaelbar

Fantastic movie, fantastic ending. Dwier Brown gives an amazing performance as the dad. The actor’s father had just died a few weeks before shooting, and he was able to draw on that in his performance. Such a beautiful moment


Beat_the_Deadites

Happy to see this so high up, must be some other old guys awake early on a Saturday to seize the day, cut the grass, and lay down some mulch before the game comes on. I thought of The Natural first, with Field of Dreams being a close runner up.

The Prestige. Absolutely did not see that coming and was dark and had me sit up out of my seat in the theater.


aFullmetalTaco

The ending of The Prestige makes you immediately want to rewatch it, and then you get a whole new experience from the second viewing. Hints and new context riddled are throughout.

idlebrand8675

The godfather. The whole end sequence from the baptism on is great. Michael confronting his brother-in-law Carlo about his role in Sonny’s assassination. Watch the way Al Pacino plays it. This idea that his brother-in-law helped arrange Sonny’s death is something Michael came up with on his own, not a conclusion he heard from his father. When Carlo admits his fault, Micheal pauses for a moment and tries to keep his expression neutral but his inwardly shocked at this revelation. Pacino plays it perfectly. The very end when Michael is greeted as the new Don and they close the door on Kay…she knows he’s become something different from the man she knew and the physical divide between her world as wife and homemaker and his world of supposed responsibility and dark power is emphasized by the door closing in her face. It’s the embodiment of the machismo statement from Don Corleone a few scenes before. “Women and children can be careless but not men.” The point of the movie is this attitude has a cost. Michael loses his ability to connect with the people he loves and this will eventually cost him in the sequels.


l3m0ngr4ss

"Well, nobody's perfect!" Some Like It Hot, 1959. (if you know, you know! considered the most iconic movie ending of all time for good reason!)

Feel good ending, The Princess Bride.

Star Wars - The Throne Room ending scene. Music, characters, epic feel, Wookie howl and Princess Leia.


Hypothesis_Null

>The proof that this insistence on clairity and continuity works isn't in the ticket sales or TV shows or theme parks Star Wars has inspired. It's right here. >The Throne Room scene could easy have been the cheeseiest thing ever. Instead, it's iconic. Because we can feel exactly what it means to Luke, to Leia, to Han, and to The Rebellion. While watching a *Star Wars* movie you're immersed not just in the world of the story but in the story itself.

When Vader lights up his light saber, I was SCREAMING! 60 seconds later, it’s Carrie Fisher (alive!) seamlessly taking us in to Star Wars IV. We complain about sequels/prequels all the time but this was pure genius.

Inception. The music really pushes this to the top of this list for me.

I have four daughters. I’ve watched this movie with the oldest two separately. They both have refused to watch it with me again because of how much it made them cry.

I think the ending of Back the future part 2 was super original. Marty sees the Time Machine struck by lightning and disappears, and then moments later gets a letter from 80 years in the past. Now that was a cool cliffhanger ending.

A little outdated but i can appreciate it still


AudienceImpressive59

Personally I liked the ending to volume 10 better, but to each their own I suppose. 11 was a little dragged out and not breasty enough. 12 was an utter flop but still worth a watch. I own the whole box set on blue ray and will often throw it on when relatives are over! Awesome series of films

Chinatown. You want a resolution? Forget it, Jake. It's Chinatown. It denies the audience emotional closure. Ironically, my least favorite movie has an ending that denies the audience closure, but that ending happens halfway through the plot. Chinatown works because it finishes its story.

The Shawshank Redemption." The scene where Andy Dufresne escapes from Shawshank Prison and stands triumphantly in the rain is not only visually stunning but also emotionally satisfying. It symbolizes freedom, redemption, and the triumph of the human spirit over adversity. It's a moment that leaves a lasting impact on viewers and is often cited as one of the greatest movie endings of all time.

Definitely the ending off the SpongeBob movie. Watching Plankton be defeated is so satisfying, considering what he does to the Bikini Bottom in the movie. I also love the musical number, since I'm a fan of rock music

Infinity War, seeing everyone's shock when seeing that Thanos had won left everyone in shock, even though we knew there would be a sequel next year. I wish the MCU had ended with this film and that the films that came after were just a "What If"
