Oooo. No I have not. I assume this is the one you're referring to:

Internal Affairs

I'll definitely have to Netflix. :)

Doc Faustus 03-09-2008 07:16 AM

I'm with Murderdoll about A History of Violence. My list would be:
Taxi Driver
Videodrome
The Wicker Man
Freaks
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
Texas Chainsaw Massacre
30 Days of Night
Casablanca
Gojira

ChronoGrl 03-09-2008 07:22 AM

Good choices, Doc. I agree with you whole-heartedly on Taxi Driver and Casablanca.

...

I have to say, as much as I didn't enjoy Zombie's Halloween as a whole, I thought that the last two minutes were absolutely brilliant. Definitely one of my favorite film endings. Very intense.

Basket Case 2 has a great ending and I've always liked Repo Man's finale too.

colubrid660 03-13-2008 01:08 PM

Videodrome had a cool ending that gets you thinking, but I guess all of Cronenberg's movies do.

Cloverfield, say what you want about it, but I thought it had a really well-done ending.

Cloverfield was an insanely good movie.

the ending was incredibly effective
(but too downbeat to be a favorite of mine)

I agree :)


I liked the ending but I didn't like the last flashback, should've left everyone with the scene before it

i thought the 'fashback' was perfect..
they already established that it was taped over a previous recording .. and the contrast of them dying together vs them on the day that they were the happiest was very fitting.

(and no - i didnt notice the satelite spashing down in the background - and neither did the film critic i was with who was seeing it for the second time :) )

Posher778 03-13-2008 01:46 PM

*edit*

May want a spoiler warning there.

urgeok2 03-13-2008 01:48 PM

holy crap - has anyone not seen it yet ?

well, it doesn't really matter unless they somehow see it on the big screen - this movie is going to be 25% of what it was seen on TV.

I've never said this about any other movie



i added a spoiler ... now you have to because you quoted me completely

So true. I made my parents go see it just so they would *see* it.

urgeok2 03-13-2008 01:55 PM

i hate admitting this - and its too bad i wasn't around when it was probably a hot topic here ..

but that movie rattled me ..

it hit me in such a primal way it was crazy.

when i was a kid i had reoccuring dreams about a giant monster rampaging through my home town - and no matter how small i was - no matter where i hid - the bastard would find me.

Cloverfield awake the night horrors i had for the 1st time in 42 years ..

at the end i was physically, emotionally, and mentally exhausted.
so much so that when i went to use an ATM to pay for parking, i tried my work access pass in the machine. (until i saw Chris laughing at me)


the flick was the closest thing to virtual reality i've ever experienced.

After watching "The Mist" last night, I think it ranks right up there as "Most Effed-up Endings" ever.

loved it

Yep. I honestly believe that the people that bitch about the ending just simply could not handle it. Ditto with 'No Country'.

Thomasgeorge 03-28-2008 07:28 AM

films that have twists like saw

Exactly. And I have no problem with the fact that someone couldn't handle it- certain images disturb certain people for certain reasons; and this was a terrifying situation to display and execute.
I admired the fact that you were forthcoming in the difficulty you had in watching it as opposed to the people I've been hearing say that it was a "cop-out" or a "cheap shot".
