First: all are welcome to add stuff.

Second: spoilers will abound, so avoid paragraphs or lines with a title or show you haven't seen.

Third: let the mayhem begin!

MOVIES WITH THE MOST AMAZING ENDINGS LIST
1) Planet of the Apes-realizing he's already home kicked Taylor's and OUR asses!!
2) Unbreakable- Sam is the big bad??!!!
3) Sixth Sense- Bruce is WHAT???(now it all makes sense...)
4) Serenity-"I like to hear you say it..." (I hadda put that in *choke*)
5) The Crow- seeing Shelly again *choke again*
6) Somewhere In Time-seeing Elise again *will the choking never end?*
7) Aliens- "Get away from her, you bitch!"
8) Conspiracy Theory- SOOOOO, Jerry Fletcher wasn't nuts after all!
9) Firestarter- All the cgi in the world couldn't give us the firestorm Charlie brought down on those covert scumbags for real!
10) The Terminator- "...he says a storm is coming...", that was almost poetry.

Hey Chrisisall :D

Man you made me laugh when I checked my emails! Classic :D

1 Wages Of Fear All I'll say is watch the original b/w version for an absolutely heart wrenching journey all about the human spirit!!

2 Cyrano De Bergerac Ok I know, I know I'm a soppy ol romantic but seriously this one gets me every time... Unrequited love at it's best.

3 Explorers This film got me into sci-fi in the first place and I love the 50's sci-fi references.They come back!!! Always wanted a sequel to this.

4 Empire Strikes Back Jesus NO!!! Darth is Lukes father!!!! Frankly still one of the best plot twists ever!! Didn't see it coming when I was a kid.

5 CASABLANCA....wait Victor Laslo!!!! Noooooooooooo

6 Edward Scissorhands She never went back to check up on him :( and he never came back down to see her!!!

7 Shawshank Redemption Crickey I didn't even know I had such deep emotions.

8 White Fang yes the version with Ethan Hawk. I think coz I spent a large part of my life with dogs I could understand the intensity of his love for his wolf, and frankly I'd have given up life in the city to go back and stay miles away from all human contact so as to remain with my best friend too. A cracking film of friendship that extends beyond the human confines.

9 Planet of the Apes "Get your filthy hands off me you dirty ape!!!!" Brilliant!

10 iRobot I really think this is a minor masterpiece and Sonny is a brilliant character, and when it's revealed he's the one on top of that hill overlooking the outmoded robots I swear the ol' heartstrings do get a tug or two. This film is slowly creeping up to being one of my favourites. It may not be long before it reaches the top ten.

Well there you go Chrisisall just for starters :D I'm sure more will come to me in time. But may I just make an honourable mention to our favourite:
Big Trouble in Little China
"What!! you're not even gonna kiss her good bye?!?"
".....Nope"

No Way Out. It was only an average suspense thriller movie, but the ending so totally came out of left field, it blew me away.

So I'm slow and only recently discovered Donnie Darko, but holy cow what a movie. The ending - that incredible song, and Donnie's mom, (Mary McDonnell of BG, btw) is so moving. Not that the ending explained anything for me the first time I watched it, but what a beautifully made scene anyway.

Please don't hate me, but I think I like this movie better than Serenity. But not better than Firefly, of course!

oh ya - and I totally agree about No Way Out. fabulous ending to a so-so movie.

I did see it yeah. It was interesting to see Ford play ambiguity. I prefered that to the good/bad black/white of "What lies Beneath" although that wasn't a bad flick.

I just got thinking about "Team America" and that speech the main puppet gives at the end :D Now that was a funny ending. Had me rolling around in fits :D

House of Flying Daggers- So sad. I cried like a little girl when I saw it. But so good at the same time, too.

Constantine - just the whole chain of events leading up to the ending. Blew me away. Biggest reason why I bought the movie.

I dunno how you guys feel about Simpsons, but what about a top 10 Simpsons episodes list? I've been dying to do one.
