One of the most uplifting and satisfying endings for me is the end of Schindler's List. When the newly freed Jews walking in the field morphs into those still alive today (at the time of filming) plus their descendants with the scroll telling us how many are alive because of Oskar Schindler just demonstrates how much one flawed human being can accomplish when they choose to do good. Add on the scene at his grave in Israel with the "Schindler Jews" and the actors who portrayed them leaving a memorial and I was blubbering like a baby.

IMHO the most heartbreaking moment in that sequence was when the real Mrs. Schindler, having laid a stone of remembrance upon Oskar's grave, briefly caresses it -- as if Oskar himself might still feel her touch. And who's to say that he didn't?

@@Chris-hr2uj The book (by Stephen King) the movie is based on ends with Red's voice-over at the end: after "I hope to see my friend and shake his hand. I hope the Pacific is as blue as it its in my dreams" the book ends "I hope . . . I hope . . . I hope." This drives home Andy's thought earlier that "Hope is a good thing; maybe the best of things . . ." so that IS the happy ending -- that Red, who had given up all hope inside the prison, and even after getting parole would have ended up like Brooks, now has hope, as Andy always did. I think their reunion is pretty much implicit in that happy, hopeful ending.

@@richardcanedo1614 yes, i had read the book also has a same ending. The movie and book are a story of hope. I interpreted Redd's ending monologue to be that Redd was changed by Andy's hopeful tenacity. And by the ending monologue, Redd expresses his hope, despite the chances he may not make it to andy. I liked the sense of hope that the ambiguous ending places on viewers. But i think the producers of the film were of the mind that the general audience would appreciate an explicit happy ending as a reward, over the implied ending of hopefulness. Literature is art, and free to be critiqued with different opinions. The author and director took it one way. But the feedback from posters here is that the altered (producer's) ending, while less true to the original art, is more "perfect". Two ways to look at it. I tend to favor the original ending. I find it pretty tought provoking.

@@Chris-hr2uj I get your point, but I think that being explicit about their meeting (which is very strongly implied already by his non-suicide and his trip to that place about which Andy told him) detracts from the real theme of the movie, which is that "hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things," and the reason Redd has rediscovered his "I hope . . ."

Batman never died. "Robin" became the new Batman ! Bruce's whole point was to make Batman immortal through successors. That's why the ending showed Robin rising on the pad "The Dark Knight Rises" aka Batman. That's why Bruce replaced the Bat light on top of Gordon's police station. Batman. Not Robin or Nightwing.

The book death of Voldemort was better. Because it showed him what he was, a man. The movie made him more mythical and monsterious. I don't think Rowling has the mind about her to drive the difference, but to have a magical death makes the whole thing feel unreal and more like it couldn't happen. While what is brilliant about the book, having his magic completely back fire on him and he just... dies... Shows that even magic isn't above reality of certain absolutes. And even the worst monsters are often just men.

Crazy thing is, Frank Darabont wanted Shawshank to end with the line "I hope" as the camera panned to the ocean. Suggesting ambiguity and that Red was transformed into being hopeful, like Andy wanted. But the studio made him add the scene on the beach after to make the audience happy. Sometimes ambiguous endings are more impactful and artful. Terminator 2 should have ended the second Arnold went into the lava, and his system shut down cut to black screen.

Respect for your opinion 👍🏽. Abrupt, maybe but i think music and a crescendo would have smoothed it in to not be dense. I personally feel like sarah connor voiceover serves solely as a way to kinda explain the ending to the audience. The premise in Sarah's monologue that man and machine can coexist, was already established when she shook Arnold's hand at the end- i find it awesome when movie directors imply something very emotional or meaningful without so many words.

The end of 89's Batman after the Joker is killed and Gotham becomes safe again and the Bat Siginal is introduced and the final shot shows Batman on top of a building looking out over the city while Danny's music swells.

The end of inception. It was beautifully ambiguous and after all of the adventure/drama/and twists and turns of reality it leaves the entire audience fixated upon one tiny object upon which they rest their entire concept of what is real on....and before we get resolution....it ends.

Batman(1989):After stopping his archenemy, the caped crusader is praised for his hard effort for protecting the city and getting an epic shot as Danny Elfman plays an amazing soundtrack. Shin Kamen Rider(2023):Although Ichomonji Hayato defeated the villain of the movie he lost his best companion and carrying on the mantle of the Kamen Rider legacy he then discovers Hongo Takeshi is alive as his soul is in the helmet and continues to ride his bike into the sunlight to fight the evil organization S.H.O.C.K.E.R as the credits roll. Spider-man 3(2007):While Peter Parker had a rough go at the start he still managed to give everything he's got to stop the villains ,all to have a dance with the love of his life. Halloween 2(1981):Laurie managed to dodge, duck, weave as her murderous brother tried to end her life she still managed to live as she's taken away in an ambulance as Mr.Sandman plays.

1. Crocodile Dundee (Sue declaring her love for Mick and Mick climbing over other people's heads to get to her) 2. Get Out 3. Schindler's List 4. Ghost 5. Die Hard 2 6. Titanic. I agree with your number 1 pick but some of your choices are questionable.
