Best way to end a movie!

Second proposal:

Every film ends with the main character(s) discovering a collapsed Statue of Liberty, leaning ominously out of the sands on a beach. The twist: it has Mark Whalberg's face. They drop to their knees while screaming in agony and them begin to belt out Marky Mark's Good Vibrations lyrics as tears of profound sadness pour down their cheeks.

This works for family films, romantic comedies, and buddy-cop films.

Only way to improve it would be to replace Kurt Russell and have Keith David staring at David Keith for five minutes.

Movies should end with a shot of the planet exploding.

Drive has a cool ending. Leaves you hanging a little bit, but more than anything it makes you think.

Every movie should end like PREDATOR, where it's shots of the actors acknowledging or mugging for the camera.

How about all movies ending like that scene in Robocop where the ED 9000 shoots the ever living shit out of that executive in the boardroom

I love it. It's like the characters are saying "thanks for coming along".
 
I meant for folks to express their own ideas re ending a flick.

The protagonist is monologuing at the end, sharing a moment with the love interest.
Suddenly a character we've never seen before comes into frame and hits them both with a giant animal balloon.

Hard cut to middle of credits, intercut with scenes from The Day the Clown Cried.


Nice story. Tell it to reader's digest!
 
Shooting the camera-man obviously. How the hell else would a movie end?
