I always liked the ending of Prince of Tides with Nick Nolte driving over that bridge, and the voice over talking about the two loves of his life, and ending with 'Lowenstein, Lowenstein'

The scene where he went to tell Streisand he was going back to his family, and she knew before he even said a word is one of the most moving pieces I experience in a movie, and I used experience not experienced because it still gets me everytime.

Kind of partial to the "Forrest Gump" ending.

(I have a small elephant collection, and I have one of my elephants holding a small white (real) feather.  :D )

Yesterday is history.
Tomorrow is a mystery.
Today is a gift...

that was a classic.  can't watch the movie again knowing how it ends. 


For me, it's the Stuntman.   great movie that hardly anyone remembers.  Steve Railsback and Peter O'Toole are fantastic in that movie.  Another movie that I can only watch once because the ending was just perfect.

Ending of the first godfather, when Pacino closes the door on Diane Keaton.
At least a goldfish with a Lincoln Log on its back goin' across your floor to your sock drawer has a miraculous connotation to it.

While it's about as far from a happy ending as I've ever seen I enjoyed the end of The Grifters.  I won't spoil it but watching Angelica Huston's tough as nails character let her emotions for once overcome her for about a minute before just flipping the switch and going right back to survival mode (for which she's never known any other way to live) was just a great scene.

To tell you the truth, I have been thinking about this and the only two movies that I even remember the exact ending are "Citizen Kane" and "Forest Gump."  I remember how others (girl got guy, hero died, etc.) ended but not the exact scenes.

I've always been a fan of the ending to the movie "Glory"

Always gave me chills for some reason and I found myself always hoping that the Union soldiers would come out victorious in that particular battle even though I already knew the outcome.
