caissa Posted August 4, 2006 Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 The Usual Suspects has a very clever ending, as does Hidden (the latter you really need to watch more than once on DVD or you could miss the point altogether). Gallipoli has a very poignant freeze frame ending and the final shot of Truffaut's Les Quatre Cent Coups is also very affecting. No doubt there are many others, but these four came to mind for me.

Torneyboy Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 Yeah that is a good ending...shame redford and newman didn't make more movies together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lembeh Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 All Quiet on the Western Front springs to mind, but was the classic scene (the butterfly bit) the last one? Have a feeling it was. Similarly, last scene of Butch cassidy and the sundance kid must be up there... -j- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 Yep, the young hero reaches out of a trench for the butterfly ... and BAM, a French sniper gets him. I think it is the morning of Armistice Day too. That's the way the book ends too. Worth noting that the author was about the same age as the hero and was wounded in action himself. He also had to flee Germany as a "pacifist" when Adolf took over. It's one of the best war novels written. Lou Ayres, the American actor who starred in the original version, was so touched that he became a conscientious objector in WWII. Ayres did serve as an Army ambulance driver, but refused to carry a weapon at any time. My mother told me he came in for a lot of damnation from the American public for his reusal to kill other people. I've seen morons foaming at the mouth myself at the thought of anyone refusing to kill for their country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwood13 Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 ......the final shot of Truffaut's Les Quatre Cent Coups is also very affecting. Yes, The 400 Blows would be my choice. -redwood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chillers Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 The Island (1980) gets my vote. The movie is lame but the ending makes up for it. The Island Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
