That was a great moment. Made me go 'wow' the way action filmgoers react to big explosions and crashes.
I still think about that. |

Oh yeah, I forgot--"the Italian Job," the original '60s version, not that awful Mark Wahlberg vehicle. Definitely worth a download.
And on that note...how the hell could I forget "Dr. Strangelove (or, How I learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb)?"
I guess I'm...

Has anyone out there seen a movie starring Christopher Reeves, Jane Seymour, and Christopher Plummer called "Somewhere in Time"?
It's an old-fashioned romantic movie with a supernatural twist. It had an ending that made the hairs on my neck stand up. It was jarring, did not see it coming at all, and was like a punch to the gut. |

I liked the way Travis did for the nasties in Taxi Driver.

I'd go with "The Music Box" - I kept going back and forth as to whether the old Nazi Germany dude was guilty or not. Great ending, but don't want to spoil it, cuz it seems not many people have seen it.
And how about "The Jagged Edge"? Great ending! |

The ending to The Killing Fields with John Lennon's Imagine playing in the background. The only time I wept during a movie. Very powerful since it was a true story.
The actor actually survived the Cambodian killing fields, yet was gunned down years later in LA. |

La Jettee (original French b/w still-frame version of 12 Monkeys)
Angel Heart
The Shining
Memento
The Classic Romantic ones:
The Graduate
Casablance
and no one's mentioned the original zinger:
Citizen Kane (although I hate this movie; probably because someone gave away the ending before I saw it) |

I think that "No Way Out" with Kevin Cosner - the apparently patriotic "good guy" - seen conversing in Russian to his comrades, had as good a surprise ending as any film I've seen ...

Either you're craving western food way too much, or that was a shamless plug. |

Well, he probably learned to act at Costco!  |
