Films With Unforgettable Endings

By: cinemao​fdreams

By unforgettable endings, I do not mean merely great plot twists but final scenes that can not be erased from the mind once they’ve been seen. It can be the emotional weight of knowing Charles Foster Kane’s secret or seeing the brute Zampano crumble beneath the weight of his wrenching loneliness. The endings that have a haunting quality are those that complete a story but often leave things unresolved for a movie’s characters and those out in the dark who have somehow identified with them.
