Been watching some 50s and 60s sci-fi movies lately and found the ending of "The Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956)" quite interesting. Looks like the alien pods are being spread all over the US!
Other endings I like are as follows:-
Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) - the scene where the Ark is secured and placed into a seemingly never ending warehouse full of who knows what. Love the way the camera pans out to show millions of crates. Makes you wonder if such a place actually exists.
Planet of the Apes (1968) - when Taylor and Nova are riding along a beach and they come across the Statue of Liberty. Taylor then realizes he is on Earth and mankind has f**ked up entirely.
Threads (1986) - for those who haven't seen it, "Threads" is a British movie about the events leading up to, during, and after a full blown nuclear conflict. The daughter of a survivor who was pregnant with her when the bombs were dropped, herself becomes pregnant after being raped about 15 years after the war. You get a millisecond glimpse of the newborn and a bloodcurdling scream from the teen mother before the end. No prizes for guessing what the "child" was.
What's your favourite movie endings?
