    Movie Moments Good and Bad

    Okay, I wanted to see who out there has some great movie moments. More specific what movie or movies that you have seen have the best ending in your mind. And on the flip side, what movies have a bad ending in your mind also.

    HEAT
    Escape From New York
    The Thing (1982)
    Se7en
    Castaway

    Best:

    Dawn of the Dead (new one. Great ending over the credits.)
    Blade Runner (directors cut)
    Seven (Don't open the box!)
    Reservoir Dogs (I'm a cop!)
    Brazil (love the Terry Gilliam stuff)

    Worst:

    Return of the Jedi (Dancing Ewoks. Need I say more?)
    Lost in Space (a train wreck from the beginning but the whole time travel thing at the end didn't make sense and was the icing on a very bad tasting cake)
    Star Trek V: The Final Frontier (this whole thing was a stinkfest but Kirk mouthing off to "god" at the end was the topper.)
    Alien Resurrection (the alien mother giving birth to the fleshy alian and then it getting sucked out through a hole in the space ship wall was laughable. What a POS!)
    Matrix Revolutions (I took the day off for this?)

    Let me also add Predator 2 to the good list. Seeing that Alien skull in the ship just gave me the warm and fuzzy of a Aliens vs. Predator movie 12+ years ago!!! LOL

    *digs this thread out of the ground*

    Best endings:
    Shawshank Redemption - not the very end, but what the English majors would call the "dramatic climax". I won't spoil it here, but while my absolute "favorite" movie varies with my mood, this one is always in the top three.
    Sixth Sense and Unbreakable - They lose a little after the first viewing, but Shymalan got me with both of these movies
    Empire Strikes Back - "Luke, I am your father" is an all-time classic.

    Worst endings:
    Terminator 3 - I saw this for the first time last night, and thought it was all right, but I wasn't crazy about the ending for some reason.

    There's a few others mentioned here that I agree with, too. I didn't think Matrix Revolutions was too bad. Certainly not the "best" I've ever seen, but I thought it wrapped things up pretty well.
