Endings that didn't suck.

[Cama Zots]

When the ending of a book, movie, or television series sucks, it's pretty obvious and people make a big deal out of it. No one seems to make a big deal out of a GOOD ending. Lets take a moment to pay some respect to the writers that didn't manage to fuck up the ending of something good.

Here's some for starters:
Battle Star Galactic (the new series); Kara was an angel burning with the light of god, whoever saw that one coming?
Halo 3. There was a grand unity about it
Steven King's Dark Tower.

Halo 3. There was a grand unity about it

Really? I actually thought the ending was just decent, I mean a guy basically saves everyone single-handedly, and the best you can do is scratch his number into a ship? I know spartans "don't die", but they could've had a memorial or something for him.

An ending I loved however, was Big Fish, one of the few films that bring tears to my eyes.

Wait? The Ending of BattleStar Galactica was the thing that sucked the most....

Anyway:

The ending to American Gods by Neil Gaiman.

Inglourious Basterds ended perfectly. Literally, I've never been more satisfied with an ending because it ended just at the right time.

Mass Effect. It both offered a sense of closure while baiting a sequel at the same time.

And that incredibly cheesy epic closing screen of Commander Sheppard standing out in space.

I give Mother 3 my title for favorite ending. It's heartfelt, emotional, beautifully paced, and offers closure if you stick around.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. SHOC

There were 7.
the two 'real' endings were excellent. The 5 "false" endings were interesting, but didn't really "end" properly. Ended your character tho.

Which is interesting, because S.T.A.L.K.E.R. CS has a terrible ending.

I still hold to this day that the ending to The Two Thrones Prince of Persia: That sands of Time is the best one I've ever seen.
Actaully, I take that back. Assassin's Creed had a perfect ending, although it was at the same time a dick more extrordinaire-- WHAT THE F**K JUST HAPPENED?!!?, I always end up shouting.
Nothing like the f**kwitted promise of a sequel...

Yeah, completely agree with you there. He got what he deserved.

It may be an understatement but the Shawshank Redemption's ending was great.

Don't tell me, I haven't had the time to finish the Red Forest portion
Bleh... I hate the Red Forest. It was fine in the first game, why does it have to suck so hard in the second?

Really? I liked Red Forest in the second game more than the first.

Unfortunately, the game is about to take a dip in quality. Which is a shame, because I thought it was pretty good up until Limask.

Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King

BTW I stand by the ending of Battlestar Galactica. It was good enough to make me wish that I was a fan and had followed the show while it was running.

It may be an understatement but the Shawshank Redemption's ending was great.

Indeed. Actually it's #1 on IMDB's Top 250 Movies, slightly ahead of The Godfather. I'm not sure if that means anything, but apparently it's the best movie ever?

Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker.

Sword to the Forehead... FUCK YEAH!

Inglourious Basterds ended perfectly. Literally, I've never been more satisfied with an ending because it ended just at the right time.

Agreed, I was expecting....something much different to happen.

Also I liked the ending of District 9, the movie was so well done that I'm alright with a sequel for it.
