Worst movie endings

Yeah, I liked it in Animal House and Fast Times, but it usually sucks...

 

Don't forget Scorsese beating you over the head with the rat running across the screen in the final frame.

 

Seven

Gwyneth Paltrow getting killed never sat well with me. "Awwww whaaaat's in the booooooxxxxxx?"

 

Citizen Kane. Bite me.

 

The end of "Pay it Forward" made me want to throw things at the screen. It managed to be both patronizingly sugary and depressing as hell.

 

Return of the Jedi.

It was the only moment in the whole six-part series where I was rooting for the Empire to launch a sudden resurgence and make some fur burn.

 

No Way Out

Started (or at least re-sparked) the trend of useless "twist" endings.

The movie was just fine without Costner ending up being a KGB mole. Just seemed like a waste of time.

 

One of the worst cliched pieces of shit of all-time.

 

That would have made my best list. I wish more movies had an "Oh My God!" moment.

 

I actually liked the ending.

I have watched it many times, and every time....when Anton cleans his leg, and when the car hits him towards the end......I have to turn away.

"Mister.......your fuckin bone is stickin out"

 

Same here. When he gets out of the cab covered in blood.....that is the most intense last 20 minutes of a movie I can recall.

 

i find too much of a jolt out of the film...

well, i'd agree it's 'the worst' if by 'the worst' you mean most painful/disturbing/unforgettably upsetting... but certainly not 'the worst' in terms of 'bad.'

and whoever said 'million dollar baby' gets a big thumps up from me. the ending was just part of the reason i never got the big whoop over the film, which lands very high on my 'most overrated list,' which should be our next 'films' thread. i can already assure you that, much to my disagreement,' many folks 'round here will include 'field of dreams' in the discussion...



p.s. as for the 'where are they now?' ending , they only work when the cast is comprised of young characters. ... but they're not-so much 'the ending' for the film, more of an extra bone tossed during the credits. more recently replaced by 'outtakes,' which can be funny but is too much of a jolt back to reality, imho.
