The greatest ending ever?

Well, Melancholia is (and will always be) my favorite ending ever. It's beyond great (just like all of Triers endings)

Also;

Zabriskie Point
Planet of the Apes (1968)
The Great Silence
Reservoir Dogs
The Mist
The Life of David Gale

I'll say one thing... Rosebud

and goddamn did the end of Magnolia make me cry like a bitch the last time I saw it. Gotta have the subtitles on for that part, just beautiful. Then I cried through the credits and once they were over, started up again. Fuck that movie.

Yeah. They were tears of joy, like a laugh/cry. Really weird. Wish I could experience something like that at least once a week.

The world breaks everyone and afterward many are strong in the broken places. But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure it will kill you too but there will be no special hurry.

coppola has some great endings:

godfather 1, 2 & 3 all have awesome different endings.
apocalypse now
the conversation (AWESOME ENDING)
bram stoker's dracula (surprising sad ending)

Kurosawa's Ran

Kill Bill 1 (yes)
also: Jackie Brown

PTA has the Boogie Nights and There Will be Blood endings.

2001, Shinning, Clockwork and Eyes Wide Shut.

Melancholia was incredible. Ditto Dancer in the Dark and Dogville.

Reygadas's Silent Light somehow manages to become as resonant as Ordet.

I personally love the ending for the Coen's The Man Who Wasn't There and No Country for Old Men.

The 400 Blows.

Probably my all time favorite ending for any movie is 8 1/2.

And it may not be a movie, but I think the ending for The Sopranos was a moment of true genius.
