best final scene of a movie

Stroszek
All That Jazz

Kiss Me Deadly (original ending)

Okay, bizarro, you've convinced me to finally give in to my sister's entreaties and watch Iron Giant over the holidays. Had no idea Donald Sutherland was even in it.

if memory serves, Lewis film is The Patsy

the Olsen & Johnson vehicle Crazy House, in which one of them does to the romantic leads what the Marx Bros would've liked to do.

Another recent one: Personal Shopper!

Ordet
Sunrise
Black Moon
All that Heaven Allows

videodrome

two animal related ones:

Umberto D
Au Hasard Balthazar

yeah I thought of poor old Balthazar

I think a lot of my favorite movies have something closer to a final movement (not quite an act) or series of scenes--rather than a discrete "final scene." 2001 is probably the paradigm for this.

Minions - because I couldn't wait for that shit to be over!

(Seriously. a second vote for All That Jazz.)

3 Women

3 men and a baby

when Ted Danson masturbates in front of the baby, classic

I believe that was actually a cardboard cutout of Danson masturbating

another Antonioni: L'eclisse

Nostalghia

I dont remember that scene fellas

aguirre otm

Make Way for Tomorrow
Kiss Me Deadly
The 400 Blows
L'eclisse
The Godfather
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
The Fury
Invasion of the Body Snatchers
The Last Bolshevik
Escape from L.A.

Burn After Reading was a thought I had :)

A.I. Artificial Intelligence goes on the list too.

death in venice is a good one

This always struck me as better representing the morbid ideal of psycho rather than the super hokey scooby doo villain unmasking/explanation scenes before it.

Lukas Moodysson has a knack for endings

Fucking Åmal / Show Me Love ends with two girls, out of the closet in love for the first time, drinking chocolate milk together and giggling

Tillsammans /Together is a family reunification that looks like this — http://www.michael-nyqvist.com/together7x.jpg

I genuinely thought of Show Me Love!!

Another recent one: Personal Shopper!

my all time favorite final scene / shot is Synecdoche, New York. it’s not even close. Was speechless & in a daze for an hour afterward. Shares something v important with the ending of Personal Shopper, a choice I’m surprised more filmmakers don’t use.

devil's backbone has a gd final scene/shot imo

Clue

still think that was legitimately one of the coolest cinematic gimmicks ever pulled, shame something like that wouldn't work today

The Purple Rose of Cairo is a proper gutpunch of an ending

Songs from the Second Floor has a great ending.

First thought is The Third Man, but on second thought the goodbye to all that optimistic Americanism is a bit tired for my personal taste.

Wilder's endings are pretty, pretty good.

cook thief wife lover (i am remembering the dinner procession as the last scene, if i'm wrong then strike this one)
the devils

tp the return has trumped them all though. but it's not a movie.

xp i just watched Some Like It Hot for the first time last week & didn't know about the famous final line & started cackling to myself
