"The only part of a movie that matters is the last part". That's a quote from forums poster Gross Dude, and its true. The only thing people know about Citizen Kane is the famous fucking shot of the sled, and that's the greatest film of all time [check before publishing]. So here you go - the good shit - endings only. Direct from BYOB, to you.

Woman: YOu've been lying to me this whole time? You're not a bank manager and your name isn't even Travis?

Man: Yes, it's true, my name is actually Art, and I've never been to a bank.

Woman: Well, I don't know who Art is, but I know who I like.

Before the advent of the professional ending writer, movies just didn't end. In fact, the very first Cannes festival is still going to this day

I've been a consultant for jazzy noir outros for years, and the first thing I tell every producer is, "Use jazz in your jazzy outro." Do not play ska. Do not play "Tubthumping" by Chumbawamba. Can you imagine if Chinatown used "Tubthumping" by Chumbawamba in its final scene? No one would remember "Forget it Jake, it's Chinatown," they would just forget Chinatown, the movie.

i dunno, it's actually not that bad... ends the movie on a more upbeat note:

POLICE SERGEANT: We managed to find a photograph of the guy who did the crimes, Gunther.
GUNTHER: Enough with the chit-chat, sergeant! I've been working this case for five years. I deserve to know!

POLICE SERGEANT shows GUNTHER the photograph. It is a photograph of GUNTHER.

GUNTHER: Nooooooooo!

I hated the ending of Snowpiercer where the train just kept spinning around really fast and you couldn't tell if it was supposed to be a dream or not.

*credits have rolled for several minutes after the end of schindlers list when suddenly a blooper gag reel begins to play showing men dressed in nazi uniforms playing pranks on people dressed as prisoners in a camp*
