What's Your Favorite Ending To a Movie? — Page 2

Hey Beaverhausen,

When I saw CARRIE in the theater, somebody in the audience actually FAINTED when he saw the ending!

Believe it or not, there's a musical version of CLUE that was presented Off-Broadway.

It has TWO HUNDRED AND SIXTEEN possible endings:

swtaffy, you have great taste. heathers and clue...both classics, with great endings.

although its' not a classic, moving ending, i will always remember being a kid in the movie theater at teh end of back to the future when doc says, "roads? where we're goign we don't need any roads" and the BAM! to be continued...wow. i could'nt believe i had to wait!

Schindler's List.

When the actors escort the 'real' people past the grave of Oskar Schindler.

Lubitsch's "Trouble in Paradise."

I can't think of the line off-hand, but every moment is perfection, especially wehen Herbert Marshall, the dashing jewel thief, tells Kay Francis, the beuatiful wealthy widow, "I came here to rob you, but unfortunately I fell in love with you."

That movie, Sondheim's "Company" and watching Audrey Hepburn and Albert Finney in "Two for the Road" made me sophisticated at a tender age.

Miriam Hopkins to Herbert Marhsall: "Darling, remember, you are Gaston Monescu. You are a crook. I want you as a crook. I love you as a crook. I WORSHIP you as a crook. Steal, swindle, rob--oh, but DON'T become one of those useless, good-for-nothing gigolos."

DEATH BECOMES HER- Goldie Hawn to Meryl Streep

'Do you remember where we parked the car?'

No, it wasn't.

A STAR IS BORN - When after her husband has died, Esther comes out and address herself to the audience, saying "This is Mrs. Norman Maine." Ahhh, get's me every time.

Some of these you guys mentioned always make me cry, like SCHINDLER and FIELD OF DREAMS. The last scene of THE JOY LUCK CLUB is also one that gets to me each and every time. That gorgeous score doesn't hurt it, either.

But yes, "Do you remember where you parked the car?" is one of the greatest last lines in cinema history.

The dancing at the beach fantasy scene at the end of "Longtime Companion" always chokes me up.

My favorite is "The Oscar"

The Stephen Boyd character thinks he is going to get the oscar. You do not hear the winners name mentioned as a nominee so you do not expect it. Boyd is Frank Fane . The winner is read Frank. He stands up only to hear Sinatra instead of Fane. He than crumples up into a fetal position in his seat.

The whole movie is a hoot with dialog that is priceless. When you have Tony Bennett playing Hymie Kelly, what more could you ask for ? Not to mention the parade of has been Hollywood stars than populate the movie
