! No longer available (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wN3xZAq1gfQ&t#)

are my favorite out there random movie endings that I like

CEMETERY MAN - No spoilers, but it must be seen to be believed!

Night of the Living Dead (original)

Life of Brian (thanks bob)

Mulholland Drive (the whole film is WTF for me)

Men In Black 1

Clockwork Orange (I just wanted more)

I need to add Sharknado 5 to this after last night  :bouncegiggle: :bouncegiggle: :bouncegiggle: :bouncegiggle:

Pieces.  Just..  What?

Lamberto Bava's MACABRE has a similar ending, so maybe PIECES was either copying or referencing Bava's work.

The Audition - one of my favorites from one of my favorite directors. This movie is extremely slow and brooding, which i appreciate. You could say that the movie boring and hard to get thru if you have a short attention span.  Ive forced a few people to sit thru it and watched the expression on their face change from absolute bordom to shock at the end of the movie.

Christmas Evil. 

Why is his van suddenly flying?

I'm gonna add Adaptation to the list

Big Man Japan (Dainipponjin) - Mostly a mockumentary about a man who when electrocuted has the power to grow into the size of a tall building to fight Kaiju-like monsters trying to destroy Tokyo. Slow burn and awkward character work for the most part as everybody hates him and he struggles with his role and his unpopularity. Has a few CGI battles thrown in but the film ends with the fight against the final monster and is pretty insane in it's slight pivot of style from CGI graphics to... not...

I could actually add pretty much any Matsumoto films to this list, especially R100, except they're WTF all the way through.

Dogtooth - the entire film.

The Package (1989) has an ending that makes me go  :buggedout:

Sleazy Colonel (to limo driver) "Why are we stopping, Sergeant?"
Sergeant: Sorry sir, just checking the map. [Shoots his passengers dead]
Me:  :buggedout: :buggedout:

The wormhole journey to a parallel universe in the much underrated New Zealand SF film - "The Quiet Earth"

The ending to the first Saw movie. I just did not see it coming.

Fulci's City of the Living Dead (1980) is notorious for having one of the biggest WTF endings.

Clint Eastwood's "Unforgiven".

It's not often one sees Gene Hackman facing the wrong end of a rifle. I mean I know he was a tough law enforcer (a kind of Dirty Harry for a bygone age), but I still didn't think he would end up dead. This is Gene Hackman for chrissake!

Life of Brian and  Oldboy

read the complete novel. there is a final chapter not included in the initial U.S. release that goes beyond the movie end.

I used to go WTF at the end of life force but figured it out eventually. it made sense. No I was not inebriated.

There is an outtake of the scene where William Munny kills Little Bill: I saw it on Oprah almost 20 years ago. Clint Eastwood shoots, Gene Hackman dies and Eastwood grins and says "Take that."  :teddyr:

The last ep of Duckman.  If I ever find who wrote it he's getting a kick in the sack.

Expanding the topic to twist endings I did not coming, but loved


Jigsaw: Legacy, The Prestiege, Saw, the 6th Sense, the Usual Suspects, Momento

2001: A Space Odyssey
That was just weird.

I've read that they used that ending because the film was damaged by having coffee spilled on it and they didn't have time or money to reshoot the real ending, or possibly (less likely) that Fulci just changed his mind about it.

Wow, I'm going to have to try to track that down.  Love Unforgiven.  Think it'd be fun to splice that into the ending.

THE BOOK OF ELI has a very powerful ending, I love that movie. It's one of those that makes you wanna see the movie again to see what did you missed.

THELMA AND LOUISE  (1991) 

(https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/8/8f/Thelma_%26_Louise_poster.png)

Total Recall (1990) is still one of my favorite endings. When I walked out of the movie theater with my dad after the movie ended, that's all we talked about on the drive home was whether it was all a dream or not. I didn't get to read the book yet, so I don't know if that was Philip K. Dick's doing or not, but it still remains one of the most clever movie endings of all time.

At the end of ORLOFF AND THE INVISIBLE MAN (1970) , the Invisible Man ( who has left his shoe prints in flour)- becomes visible-and he's a ratty shoeless  gorilla!  :buggedout:

Far North (2007) was on Film 4 a couple of nights back and was a pretty decent slow burner with some fantastic shots of the arctic tundra before hitting you with an absolutely out of nowhere ending.

SLEEPAWAY CAMP (1983)

Zulu (1964)

The Zulus pay homage to the people they battled.

Also in Shangani Patrol (1970), the same thing happens.

The ending of Umberto Lenzi's Nightmare City feels like they went, "Ummm... we really have no idea how to end this movie, so we're just gonna cop out and go home. G'nite everybody!"

And there I was, happy because I finally managed to forget that face...  :bluesad:

For me the most WTF ending of all comes in the movie Darfur.

This film is technically excellent with un-nerving sound and camera shots and top range acting, where the story and cast sweep you along with the film and you, just like the journalists in the film, become involved in the film, leaving you worn out and emotional at the end (which is very uplifting).

Then, the kicker: this entire film was directed by Uwe Boll!!  :question:

I was at the SA premiere of this in 2010 in Cape Town and the producer held a Q&A after: I said that the Uwe Boll who directed Alone In The Dark and House of The Dead couldn't be the same person who directed this. He said that it was the same dude and I went  :buggedout:

My favorite is still 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) because it still remains the one movie ending that still confuses the hell out of me. Even after the ending was explained to me by fanboys, Redditors, and Google, I still have a difficult time co-relating their explanations to what I’m actually seeing on the TV screen. Stanley Kubrick was a mad genius of a filmmaker, this is one of my all-time favorite movies, and this movie ending still drives me bonkers as I try to figure it out.  :cheers:
