Patrick's Sunday Seven - Episode # 150
Sunday Seven - Episode 150
Here’s a list of Top 20 Movie Endings, as compiled by UK’s Times Online.
THIS WEEK’S QUESTION:
Name your seven favorite movie endings.
1. The Quiet Man - John Wayne and Victor McLaughlin give in a fight, the greatest fist fight ever filmed, and wind up friends.
2. Okay there's three films that I can think of and possibly hundreds with this ending. The Fighting 69th, Angel's with Dirty Faces and In Harm's Way. The worst piece of crap imaginable overcomes his cowardice, and gives his life to save his buddies.
3. Chicago - I love the tap dance leading up to the closing statement. And I love how Roxy and Velma decide to team up.
4. The Sixth Sense - I cried through this one. When the Haley Joel Osmint finally tells his mother why things are missing in their home, and that grandma is communicating through him, and she believes him. Better yet is the shock the viewer gets when he/she realizes, just like Bruce Willis, that he's dead.
5. Mary Poppins - I love when all the issues in the Banks' household are overcome and Mary Poppins just floats away unnoticedbecause parents and children are busy together.
6. The Green Mile - I love the ending here because the one in the book stunk. It's like the person who wrote the movie corrected Stephen King's mistakes.
7. Finally, the greatest movie ever made - Casablanca - Louie finds his nuts when he lies about Rick killing off the German officer. "Round up the usual suspects," he says. And as Louie and Rick leave the airport together, in the rain, with Rick puffing on his cigarette, he says, "This could be the start of a beautiful friendship."
I love old movies!

Don't leave out "Cool Hand Luke". -
I'd have to throw in the ending to Zulu when Michael Caine thinks the Zulu's are coming to attack the garrison again. It wasn't factually accurate but made for a great ending!
