Top 5 Movie Endings

Here's my pick of what I feel are the best movie endings/ twists at the climax.
No descriptions of course, for people who haven't watched any of these.

5) Fight Club
4) Shawshank Redemption
3) Saw
2) Memento
1) The Usual Suspects

You may have your own order, or perhaps even other movies on this list. If so let me know, I would love to watch them if I haven't.

One of the most crazy twists is in Alejandro Jodorowsky's Santa Sangre. BAM! Also a total wtf ending is in his '73 film, Holy Mountain.

More later.

Memento, by ending i meant the twist that he keeps doing this over and over again. we thought that guy was really the murderer till that. That was quite some twist for me.

Kau, those movies and all I haven't watched.

And Api, yeah i have heard about that, will watch it :)

The prestige?

I'll say fight club is a great movie overall.. not so much a great ending. Note that the ending is not the end of the suspense, but collapsing destruction and the kiss with the shot through face. Whoa..... vampiric!

Omg, how could i forget Prestige! I rate that as the best movie I have ever seen. Thoo my bad.

Bourne Ultimatum anyone?? the moment Moby's track is played... the news reader says Bourne's body is not found and the chick just smiles....and Bourne's body starts moving in the water...
