That ending (not the discussion afterwords, of course) just needed a Morgan Freeman narration and it would have been the most epic ending ever...MiracleOfSound said:

OT, MGS4 had the world's most perfect ending ever.
I wish I could tell you that Shepard fought the good fight, and the Reapers let him be. I wish I could tell you that - but the Galaxy is no fairy-tale world. He never said who did it, but we all knew. Things went on like that for awhile - galactic life consists of routine, and then more routine. Every so often, Shepard would show up with fresh bruises. The Geth kept at him - sometimes he was able to fight 'em off, sometimes not. And that's how it went for Shepard - that was his routine. I do believe those first two years were the worst for him, and I also believe that if things had gone on that way, this place would have got the best of him.The Gentleman said:
The Godfather, powerfull ending. A Clockwork Orange makes you wonder. The Deer Hunter and Memento were very special. I'd also like to mention The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, because of the awesome soundtrack in the form of the Ecstacy of Gold.
In games Final Fantasy VI springs to mind. The ending scene/credits was awesome, and took like 20 minutes or something. Mafia: The City of Lost Heaven had a good ending too, didn't see it coming.

Fight Club has one of the best endings of all time, let alone one of the best stories. I hear the book handled it differently, but I've yet to finish reading it.
Someone already mentioned Elfen Lied, which had a pretty damn emotional but terrific finish to it. We all know who's waiting there outside the door, but do we dare believe it? (I do, because I read the manga ;D )
Death Note, too, had a pretty damn good ending. The Yellow Box face-off just made it so intense, though it doesn't quite face up for the even BIGGER surprise that happens about half way through the story (if you've seen it you know what it is, and if you haven't- Watch Death Note, you fool!)

Please do so. I don't know what your reaction will be since you saw the movie first but I read the novella first and I say that this is not only my favourite novella of all time but my third favourite fictional story period (behind only Jurassic Park and Prey by Michael Crichton).Cajt said:
I was thinking more along the lines of "This was the moment that the war began... and where her greatest heroes fought their first stand and won."Soundish said:
Cum shot. What!? Don't look at me like that! You were all thinking it, or now wish you had.
OT: MGS4, I cried but a single tear when I thought the game ended... Damn you Hideo toying with my emotions! Being a massive fan of the series it really touched me.

Hmm lets see, both Mass Effect 2 and Bioshock 2(the good ending) got standing ovations from me. Fight club obviously, Shawshank, A Clockwork Orange which I only saw for the first time 2 weeks ago, The Butterfly Effect, Modern warfare 2(I know the campaign was hideously short and full of plot holes, but the final sequence was amazingly fun), the endings of most Lost episodes 
The ending of Friends.
The ending of Friends.
The Dark Tower -
This is the most original ending of all time.
Roland reaches the top of the tower, only to find that he is continuously judged by God, has his memory erased of each journey, and will continue to walk towards the Tower as the defender of the universe until he decides to refuse to walk inside of it at the end of each journey. Remember, he could have simply gone back with Susannah through the door, since she was the reincarnation of Susan.
God (Gan) pulls him through the door at the top, and he "dies" symbolically.
Then he receives the Horn of the Eld, remembers the last cycle...though the story did not say exactly.
The man in black fled across the desert and the gunslinger followed.

The movie put me off of ever reading Desperation. I know I'm going against the old adage "Never judge a book by its movie" but that movie was just horrible! It sits nicely in my bottom 20 and I have seen almost 2500 movies now. When you do finish the book, though, please tell me if I am wrong in skipping it over.Cajt said:
I know the escapist generally hates Halo but the ending to Halo 2 was prett epic when i'd just done a drunken play through of it in 10 hours.
But my all time favourite goes to 300, the story being explained at the end and then the 10'000 greeks charging forwards was simply amazing
