Every film that isn't

Cross of Iron.


Where that kid starts laughing

Man that is a freaky ending.

I love when the tank bursts through the wall, and they throw the grenade under it in slow mo


Peckinpah should've done more war films

I love it when the Russian kid runs away and the Red Army mow him down and are like "Oh well". That'll learn the little fucker


They just didn't care

DIDN'T CARE!!!!

And the contempt that the German office (played by Maximillian Schell I think) was treated by the guys on the front...


Die Hard


But Mrs McClane punches

that tv reporter in the face. HOORAY!


Yeah

but Karl somehow comes back to life after clearly being strangled to DEATH by a chain, and then Al Powell has to fire his gun at him to exorcise the ghosts of him shooting at that kid when he was a rookie.

IT DOESN'T NEED TO BE THERE.


Leave Al alone. He's

a fellow Calvin and Hobbes fan. He deserves his moment.


Erm, recently 'I Am Legend'

The alternative ending is pretty shit too.

Off the top of my head I can only think of 'Sunshine'


Will anyone be annoyed if I say

I'm giving you 3 minutes to say so


Fine by me!

Never gonna watch it.


I make this at least

4 minutes...


Okey dokey

The vampire/zombie/monster things turn up at the house as they do in the theatrical cut, Neville hands the girl monster he took to experiment back to the alpha male monster and they all live happily ever after


Yup

I can't decide if its less shit than the other ending though. 'Tis a shame, I reet enjoyed the film up until then


the other ending is way better

though the whole last third is rushed


Really

how shit


Oooo.

Have to disagree with you on that one Bob!


Disagreeing, eh?

What's so good about a bunch of pseudo JM BArrie lens flare and cuddles. BOO TO THAT.


MAYBE SOME OF US

WERE NEVER GHOSTS AND NEVER GOT PETER PAN READY TO US BY AN OLDER GHOST DID YOU NOT CONSIDER THAT?


sap


no way


Really?

I liked how you went "Oh nom this ending is shit!"

"Oh wait, that wasn't what happened. Good."


Cool Runnings

That German guy should have laughed HARD in their face for buying a crap sled and then crashing their crap sled.

Really spoilt the whole film for me.


the village

what was that all about!

im still gonna say no cuntry cos it was just turd


i take back no cuntry for old men

cos that would imply that the rest of the film wasnt as dull as the end. which it was


Good for you!


POW!

Didnt like the film. IMO was bit boring

*awaits abuse*


That's your opinion, and you're not alone on it.

I thought it was the best thing the Coens have doen since Lebowski.

I personally thought There Will be Blood is a terrible, terrible film, but no one seems to agree with me about that.


*no one here

at any rate.


i agree with you

but then i haven't even seen it, so it probably doesn't count for much


actually it should count for more

that film is so terrible that i haven't even seen it.


it was fucking boring

plus had very little plot, and tommy lee jones was shit, and the ending was just the laziest thing ever,
i was thinking sheeeeeeeeeeit this film is long i wish it would end soon but i cant see any logical ending point in sight, and then its over just like that. balls


The Village

'cause as much as I hate most of what Syamalan does, he actually had a pretty good atmospheric film worked up until he pissed it up the wall with that stupid irritating cameo of his.


cypher


Which one?


it was ruined

when tom cruise reached the credit sequence without being murdered or raped or anything. something HAD to happen to the fuck


have you read the book?

i've kinda forgotten the exact ending of the film, but i remember it being kind of pretty much on par with the book.


...

actually, i dont mind that a virus killers all the aliens, but it's that whole family being reunited shit. does that happen in the book too? cuz if it does, then the book is shit as well


sort of

but the book is a good read. its written like a blockbuster but it feels somehow more intelligent and real than the film

i think they get back together but its just him and his wife, but its not drawn out or anything, its ok. and shes not 200miles away shes only ever a few london miles


the film ending

is different to the book in that you see the aliens die in the film and in the book hes been hiding out for 2weeks in a ruined house, and comes out to find them all dead


this

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0273517/
it has possibly the worst ending for a movie I've ever seen, it's like they just ran out of money at the end and slammed together what they had left


yeah i hate it when that happens

see also: Flight of The Living Dead aka Plane Dead. really disappointing ending to what was a wicked schlocky zombie flick


The orphanage

great horror film, poor ending


BUT JOHN, THERE IS ONE MORE CHIP!

*arnie disappears, thumb pointing to the sky*


HAHA

its AMAZING SCENE(S)


A.I.

It had about five endings, all in a row, and they were all gash.


American Werewolf in Paris

From Dusk till Dawn (the whole second part of that film)
Fight Club
28 Days Later


Anti-climatic as the ending to 28 Days Later may be

its about a million times better than the other ending Danny Boyle came up with and never used


I think that ending was filmed, wasn't it?

There was an even worse one story-boarded, see below


The manage to restrain Frank

and get him to one of the labs where the Rage virus was engineered. A scientist there tells them that a complete blood transfusion cures the disease, so Jim volunteers. So, so stupid.


as soon as they got

to the army camp it became rubbish


As soon as they left the flat, I'd say.

But yeah, agreed again.


I don't know

they got to see Manchester at its best :D


yeah agreed

and i genuinely think 28 months later is much better than 28 weeks later


Madness

28 Months Later has some great bits, but some utterly fucking ridiculous bits


HAS IT LEAKED??


*oops!!!


Hehe

Just noticed that. Apparently Boyle is back on board to write and direct it, He is planning to set it in Russia


and it's superbly entertaining and freaky

28 weeks later goes from pretty cool to see london all empty like, oh look there are survivors, to utter utter shit


*28 days!!!

28 WEEKS is superbly entertaining and funny

28 DAYS is shit overall


28 Days was good for the scenes of emptiness tbh

Personally I can't wait for 28 Months. EUROZOMBIE


yeah it's the emptiness that's good

seeing the city like that. otherwise it;s a bit poo, certainly after they leave the flat.

dya think 28 Months will be like Eurotrip but with zombies?


It would certainly make for some comic relief

in between all the infecting and shit!


do you mean 28 days later?

There isn't a 28 months later is there?


Robert Carlyle's character ruins it

The continuity errors between the two films don't help


What WERE the continuity errors?

I never really noticed any, but I'm sure there are a couple..


Mostly the mindlessness exhibited by the infected

in the first film, by Carlyle's seeming desire to find his family


Your point being?

He is chained up, not restraining himself!


i dunno, he didnt seem to be quite as mindless as the others rampaging around

i might be wrong though

anyway, who cares. 28 months later is much better


Weeks!!!

weeeks

WEEEEEKKKKSSSS!!!1


*weeks > days


Yeah,

good shout on fight club.


real life events?

9/11? Nah, it's just a lame, cheesy ending.


it was pre911

so cant be anyway!


Yes, I know.

I didn't really understand the question.


Dusk till Dawn

The second half is awesome. All films should end like that.


Maybe this:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0196106/

I can't believe they wouldn't let a chimp play in the NHL.


actuaLOL

:D


the last Matrix film

yeah, bullshit.

I loved everything about Country For Old Men. The ending was great.
