Was having a conversation with a work college this morning and he asked me what my favorite ending to a film was.

Straight away the one that I think of and remember all the time is the final 10 minutes of Last of the Mohicans.

Very little dialogue, fantastic sound track and the old man going bat **** crazy seeing his son die is just fantastic..

So whats your favorite endings OCUK?
 
Not my favourite (would need to give that more thought), but an ending that transcended the film it was attached to was The Way of the Gun.

I'd not really been particularly into the film, it was a bit impenetrable, but the ending was somewhat exhilarating. It caused me to buy the DVD and rewatch. I watched it a few times in the end, and started to really appreciate the whole movie.
 
The Terminator.

Earlier in the film Reese told Sarah the story about John Connor giving him a photo of her and he had always wondered what she was thinking about when the photo was taken. As the photo was taken, at the end if the film, as she had just finished recording a tape for young john talking about Reese, she was thinking of him.
 
The Usual Suspects

Or

The Empire Strikes Back, it's just the combination of the score and panning out from the interior to the shot of the rebel fleet, great stuff.

Either Terminator above or Blade Runner.

Is that the blade runner ending where the lead characters drive from a dystopian city hell to an idyllic lush green utopia that is literally within visible distance of the dystopian nightmare that no one else appears to have considered leaving, absolutely destroying all credibility of a hobbled yet visually beautiful telling of do androids dream of electric sheep?

That ending?

Not for me.

For me:

The thing, fight club, One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, Planet of the apes are more my style.

No, not that one. I mean the standard ending.

The Thing and Planet of the Apes are great too. Actually PotA is probably my favourite now you mention it

Yeah both unexpected and timeless endings.

In this world of directors cuts I can't remember if the appalling narration in the car to utopia is a theatrical or "special" version, it is appropriate for Ridley Scotts blade runner either way!

Additionally the reissue of Alien was horrible, especially cleaned up so we can see more of the alien and loads of tension killing extras so maybe that ending was his Ill judged add on!

I'd say...

The Thing (Carpenters one)
Breakfast Club (Cheesy but so much "of the times")
Sixth Sense
The Mist (Its a horribly bleak and dark ending but I like that, in a world where movies have sugary endings I like that the ending of The Mist is so ****** up)
