I didn't see the pistol being held by the First Nation person until the second viewing. :buggedout:
CHINATOWN.
The Mist
The Innocents (1961) -
(https://i.ytimg.com/vi/4dJlV_BM20U/hqdefault.jpg)
The final scene of SAVING PRIVATE RYAN, when the elderly Ryan finds Captain Miller's grave in Normandy and tells him how much he tried to earn the sacrifice that Miller and his men made to get him home again.
PRINCE OF DARKNESS
That tape is simply amazing.
SLEEPAWAY CAMP
Enough said.
The Pit and the Pendulum.
They comment on how they're going to lock the room up and nobody will ever go back in it again without realizing that there's still somebody trapped in there.
And while we're talking about Vincent Price, also the House on Haunted Hill, where after turning his wife's plan to kill him back on her, he gives a perfectly reasonable but fake explanation of what happened and how he's not responsible for their murder.
And on the NOT Vincent Price side of things... Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer.
What's in the suitcase?
You know very well what's in the suitcase. :wink:

Kind Hearts and Coronets
MANOS: THE HANDS OF FATE
Yes, I said that. The ending is awesome.
LONG WEEKEND (1978)
OPEN WATER (2003)
BLAIR WITCH PROJECT (1999) - debatable.
A CLOCKWORK ORANGE (1970)
USUAL SUSPECTS (1995) - haunting might not be the right word
MANOS is a lovely motion picture.
I found OPEN WATER's ending more irritating than "haunting", as it was so inevitable. I won't debate BLAIR WITCH, though - I rewatched the opening and ending w/ classes last Halloween and, y'know what? Still holds up quite nicely, even for jaded 21st century teenagers. (.......who still mostly fell for the ruse...)
THE USUAL SUSPECTS' ending haunted Kevin Spacey's career more than anything else. "He was a creepy duplicitous predator the WHOLE TIME.......!" :bluesad: A shame, he was one of my favorite actors...
Fallen had a really nice ending.
"I wanna tell you about the time I almost died."

a lot of people find the film irritating full stop! feel like I'm in a minority for liking it. it's quite a gruelling watch but it works for me. - can't help being slightly inevitable seeing as it's a true story

yeah right. and Bryan Singer too... typical as it's my favourite movie ever. bloody real life!
Call me vapid but as a teenager I was smitten with the ending of Sid and Nancy, and it'd give me something of a frisson, I admit. Not now, but back then.

Real life is bloody problematic, ennit? So many of my childhood heroes turn out to be real arseholes. Spacey, David Mamet, Frank Miller...... even John Cleese has been a little bit of a dick the past couple years. Thar's only a short list. I even thought H.P. Lovecraft was a super cool dude based only on reading "Call of Cthulhu" and watching the Stuart Gordon movies. This is why Death of the Author needed to be a Thing, yo.
there are very few actors where the more you find out about them offscreen the more good things you hear.
Keanu Reeves seems to be an exception. apparently he has done a lot of lowkey charitable and generous things and is a nice guy
LISA AND THE DEVIL (1973)
After Lisa somehow gets involved in an old gothic castle filled with dead bodies and ghosts, at the end Lisa emerges into the sunlit , hops a jet-which ends up empty except for some dead bodies, with Satan (Telly Savalas!) as the pilot! It just seemed like a whole different movie at the end! All that heavy, dreamy, brooding atmosphere and then just POW! It's 1973!
Silent Hill has one of those endings too with a split reality at the end: the husband in one reality and his wife and daughter in the other.
There is something about the ending of the 1970s Solaris that gives me a chilly feeling. (It's far less approachable than the 2000s Hollywood version, but rewards one more for staying with it.)

I found a lot out about Peter Sellers - my fave comedian in things like The Goons and as Inspector Clouseau - that made me wonder why I liked him in the first place as he was something of a monster in private, sadly.

I find it easier to accept and overlook that reputation in someone like Sellars... who's been dead for decades and is no longer an actual threat to anyone! I enjoy watching Klaus Kinski performances even though that dude was a legit menace to all those around him.......
