Best Ending

I hate to ruin this for you, but Buscemi doesn't get too far away...

Remember in the movie, the cops are all waiting outside for the right time to make a move, and when Buscemi exits, you can faintly hear yelling and gunshots outside the warehouse. So he either ate it, or he was at the least arrested...

**** the hero...

SPOILER BEGINS
Maybe I'm just dense about movies, but I really didn't get the ending to Magnolia when it started raining frogs. What the hell was that? If anyone can explain, I'd surely appreciate it.
SPOILER ENDS

 

Sorry moe, sincerely. I really thought you were joking at first, so then that just leaves my post as a snotty cheap shot. My bad.

 

"Anything can happen" was what I always thought it meant, drapg.

 

I guess you're right. But it came so out of left field that it left a bad taste in my mouth about the movie as a whole. I think I'll stick with my slapstick comedies like "Friday" and sorts. No thinking required, right up my alley!

 

I don't think you're alone in that assessment about that movie.

 

How about "American Beauty"? That had a pretty surprise ending, I thought.

 

Except you knew he was going to die, just not by whom. Chris Cooper said there were some deleted scenes about his character's homosexuality and a past partner that was killed in Vietnam. That would've been pretty interesting, I think.

Jeez, two Chris Cooper movies mentioned with him being involved in homosexuality and incest!!!

 

Good choices.

I also liked

Back to the Future - all of them, first one had the best ending.
Indiana Jones - all of them were good, Temple of Doom the best though.
Event Horizon - very creepy.
Pulp Fiction - if there was an end.
Saving Private Ryan - awesome ending!


The Matrix, T2 and Shawshank all had great endings, exactly the way I wanted them.

Although predictable Gone in 60 Seconds and Armageddon had good enings (to me).


Magnolia sucked!!!

 

He was joking Bob! I can't believe you didn't get his dig at Affleck, you must be joking too. Well I thought it was a bit of witty banter even if it was on accident. Wellllll Plaayyyed!....

And for RM95, I am sorry dude but UNBREAKABLE? That movie is another example of what Isabel was talking about when she mentioned the "No Ending" warning.

Spoiler Discussion-
I saw an interview with PT Anderson and he said that the idea for the frogs in the film came from when he heard a news report about frogs raining in somewhere like alabama and he thought that it would be a great way to add urgency and chaos to a climax of a movie. He thought that the real phenomenon of frogs falling from the sky would make people expect a sci-fi type ending and make them pay closer attention to the character interactions.

 

Uh, you must've stopped watching before the ending then...it was pretty clear what happened.

 

I saw the ending of "Unbreakable" coming a mile away. I guess knowing it was a Shyamalan production made me think outside of the box fromt he time the lights dimmed. I thought it was a good movie with a solid ending.

 

I liked it to. I didn't understand all of the complaints... I was a little let down when I saw it in the theatre, but I still enjoyed it.

It's hard for me to not like a movie with Bruce Willis and Samuel L. Jackson in it.

 

People were expecting a The Sixth Sense Part 2, that was the problem.

I remember they were talking about making a trilogy out of it. I wonder whatever happened to that.

 

We are missing the greatest ending of all time. Titanic, I loved it when Jack died, that was great, I just wish those guys had not heard the wistle and his girl could have joined him at the bottom of the ocean.

 

Nobody has mentioned A Few Good Men. Yall just can't handle the truth I guess.

 

(sorry for the interruption, but I didn't want to start a new thread about this.)


Hey RM95,

You're a movie guru. Do you think "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" is a good blind DVD buy? It came out today and is pretty cheap at Fry's. I've heard lots of good things, and I am considering buying it even though I've never seen it. Your thoughts?

 

I saw it before the hype and liked it a lot. I saw it after the hype and liked it a lot. There seems to be some backlash generating against it, but it's a fun movie, IMO.

BTW, I'm not the movie guru on this board, that could go to any number of people before me...I just write crappy reviews.

 

When you are right, you are right.

I am gonna by MBFGW on dvd, haven't seen it, but I think the wife and I will like it.

Man that Columbia House deal is awesome, got my 1st shipment already. 5$ a dvd.
