I don't know the ending of the movie suggests that the world instantly forgot about the show as soon as it ended - when the two security guy moves onto another channel.

[@chantalalexander]

The tragic part is that a man who has never functioned or socialized in a normal setting or a real world, with a severe lack of knowledge about almost everything about it, just got loose into it, with no money (which I suppose won't be much problem since he can sue the studio for a literal lifetime of unpaid wages) no family, no where to go, or proper idea of how to function, with a hopefully possibility of one love interest (he could possibly trust), who might be reach him before someone else grabs him in front of the studio and essentially puts him back into the same position of exploitation. We can hope people will still treat him as nice as he was treated in his fake world, but even real world people with the best intentions can be still be absolute dicks.

Well he may have survived, but you can't go through an ordeal like that without losing a part of yourself. Especially Frodo.

[@countcapricorn]

It just sucks that the book ending, which is the superior one all things considered, would have been a crap ending to the movie due to the difference in medium and storytelling methods involved. So Peter Jackson killed off Saruman and moviegoers got a happy ending, instead of the rude awakening of coming back to the Shire with Saruman in firmly in charge of the place and attempting to respond in kind to what was done to him at Isengard. Thematically, it's thr better ending and served up another aspect of Tolkien's overall message (in this specific case, that somtimes "you can't go home again" and that war can leave some pretty messy problems behind), but having the movie end with solving the Shire's problem after you already stopped Sauron is an awful ending once transitioned to film.

[@jayluck8047]

countcapricorn - Agreed. I always shut off the movie early and read, “The Scouring of the Shire”. It’s the most satisfying ending. The completion of the journey, the lessons learned, and how differently Sam and Frodo handle their returning to the Shire, is the main point of the story and ties into Tolkien’s life during times of war.

[@jeanaerowley7150]

Whiplash, the movie is so painful to go through and then to see the transformation in the end is breathtaking. JK Simmons so flawlessly depicts a supportive mentor and a tyrannical tormenter multiple times in each scene. Goosebumps every time I watch that ending.

The Breakfast Club's ending is one of the best although one could argue that it might not be satisfactory as it is uncertain if the five teenagers remain friends beyond that Saturday and make an attempt to talk to each other within the high school world.

Big Fish, to me, still has the most perfect ending

[@nicolashan1997]

So sad and satisfying at the same time.

[@fos9698]

Agree!

[@omareferrer]

"that is how we become immortal"

[@nonnielove2238]

I fricken looovveee that movie!

[@MrSpankee02]

Yeeessss.

[@thesilentknight4554]

Amazing. Uplifting. Inspirational. BUT... "...You wouldn't get it." -Joker🤡 My All-time favorite ending! The ending to, Once upon a time in Hollywood is also pretty dang satisfying...🤗

[@alenciaga21]

Oh yes. My two favorite movies from 2019. Ironically Once upon a time made me feel very melancholy and I was walking out of "Joker" smiling...

[@MandMsss]

Thank you WatchMojo! I didn't even catch this in Endgame but it is truly beautiful and makes me give these movies just a bit more credit!

[@sonny9054]

Great compilation. I had almost forgot how satisfying these movies were.

[@NationofFoxes]

Did a bit of a chef's kiss at the end of Knives Out

[@007Julie]

Back to the Future III ending should’ve been part of this list not only honorable mention. When Marty said “Thanks”, it was Michael saying that to Christopher Lloyd, their friendship transcended the movies.

[@somechannel5151]

gladiator will always be the saddest yet most satisfying. its balanced between being happy for maximus, and sad that a hero has fallen.

[@greggkathyclark1152]

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 Should be here too. Granted, I'm a Marvel fan but Yondu's funeral with the lights, reactions from the crew and even the song were just perfect for the moment.

The Truman Show only has a happy ending if you don’t think about it too much. He isn’t prepared to live in the real world.

[@andreisator362]

The departed when whalberg kills damon

[@breckshd2108]

I also think this movie was definitely missing 👍🏻 on the list

[@InvictusTahir]

Damn I was so relieved when tha mofo died

[@DVCMiller]

"Monty Python and the Holy Grail" would be at the farthest opposite of this list. Ironic seeing as its my favorite movie

[@The3Virus]

A moose once bit my sister

[@sscuba9]

Literally stared at 10 minutes of VHS blue screen at the end of the movie, convinced it was some sort of joke. That's why it's perfect.

[@silverstarlightproductions1292]

I guess you could say the ending was a bit of a "cop-out."

[@rafaelalodio5116]

I agree, most anticlimactic ending in history

[@theimortal1974]

the feather blowing into the breeze and into the camera was the exact opposite of the beginning of the movie when the feather blew away from the camera and landed at his feat. full circle

[@kenflagler635]

Went right to #1. I whole heartily agree. Great ,great movie. And unlike the majority of Steven King's books that are made into movies, this one stayed true to the book.

[@sep3796]

The good the bad and the ugly has probably the best last 15 minutes cinema history.

[@TalkingBook72]

The Truman Show is easily one of my favorite movies I've ever seen. Huge fan

[@hazelrah321]

"In The Name of the Father"...incredibly powerful and satisfying ending, as well as a true story!

[@waheedabdullah6371]

So basically, "Top 20 Happily Ever Afters in Movies"?

[@VincentVangough15]

Gladiator was not a “happily ever after” lol

[@meaghanhepburn3895]

"The Usual Suspects" has to be one of the best movie endings of all time.

[@Niweera]

Can I say Jim Carrey is a gem to humanity. 🥺

[@kobiedalton7472]

Really forgot stepbrothers when the Catalina wine mixer is saved, mom and dad get back together, prestige world wide is back together, they both get chewbacca masks, they get the boat treehouse, Brenan secures his relationship, and they get crossbows You cant possibly imagine a better ending

Groundhog day is one of the greatest movies of all time.

[@CashelOConnolly]

In your opinion. I disagree

I love that movie. I wouldn’t call it the greatest of all time though...

[@mrscorpion-_-217]

I love the last crusade’s ending, The ride in the sunset is truly beautiful

[@ebinrock]

And they should have ended it right there (as I thought they were going to do). It would have been perfect.

[@samuelbarber6177]

Let me list off a few endings I loved: The Prestige, Inception, The Dark Knight, Star Wars Episode IV, Casino Royale, The Godfather, Star Trek II, Casablanca, Citizen Kane, X Men 3 surprisingly (I like that film, fight me!), Avengers Endgame, Les Miserables, War of the Worlds, Schindler’s List... you know I like a lot of ending

[@saking91kingsley43]

How the heck is It's a Wonderful Life not on this list?

[@szekesfehervar2230]

Because it sucked And pathetic end

[@saking91kingsley43]

@@szekesfehervar2230 one of the most uplifting endings of all time

Shawshank. Nailed it. Perfection in filmmaking.

[@BABA-is8kv]

cant argue, list is top notch, awesome job!

[@NickSchoenfeld]

Another reason the bowing ending in Return of the King is so effective, is because after everyone bows, it’s the first time in the trilogy that they are taller than everyone else, looking down instead of up. It’s their time, up there (Sean Astin / Samwise Goonies pun).
