[@johnd7564]

My favorite ending line isn't even spoken. It's Walter Matthau, at the end of 1974's "The Taking of Pelham One Two Three." He's just closed the door on a suspect, hears a sound, and gives a look as he opens the door again. The look he gives tells you he's solved the crime and the rest is just details. It's the most creative last ten seconds of a movie ever, and my favorite closing line. I also loved the final line in the Clint Eastwood movie "Unforgiven." Again, it is not spoken, but is presented in written form, with a quiet guitar motif playing over a scene of Clint Eastwood removing his hat and paying his last respects to his buried wife: "Some years later, Mrs. Ansonia Feathers made the arduous journey to Hodgeman County to visit the last resting place of her only daughter. William Munny had long since disappeared with the children... some said to San Francisco where it was rumored he prospered in dry goods. And there was nothing on the marker to explain to Mrs. Feathers why her only daughter had married a known thief and murderer, a man of notoriously vicious and intemperate disposition." The last spoken line is pretty good too: "You better bury Ned right. You better not cut up nor otherwise harm no wh*res. Or I'll come back and kill every one of you sons of b!tches." I agree with others who mentioned Princess Bride's "As you wish," spoken by Peter Falk to his grandson as the movie closes. As a man with 11 grandchildren, that one pulls at my heartstrings every time.

@@hilakummins3104 I'd be guessing. Check out IMDB trivia for the movie.

[@rocky3993]

The greatest movie ending and final words, without a doubt, is Planet of the Apes. It twists everything around and adds multiple new layers to the meaning. Final words: "You maniacs! You blew it up! Damn you! Goddamn you all to hell!"

[@kinggsy]

Disagree, the real final words that are the best in cinema history are “Most people are so ungrateful to be alive, but not you, not anymore. Game over.”

I thought of this movie too but for the real last line "see what else is on." or something along those lines. People only cared about the entertainment, blew my mind.

[@petermildren5326]

One of my favourites is the closing line from "Mr. Roberts". Ensign Pulver (Jack Lemmon) has just heard of the death of Mr. Roberts (Henry Fonda). He bangs on the door of the captain (James Cagney) who says "Yes, who is it?". Ensign Pulver throws the door open and yells out "It is I, Ensign Pullver" and he leans in closely to the captain before uttering..'Now what's all this crud about no movie tonight."
