Ok, whoever said Scorpion King or Resident Evil are just stupid little kids who don't know jack about movies. Those were just horrible; written and directed by complete hacks that wouldn't know cinema if it bit them on the ass.

Here's my list of more recent films

1. Identity...very well done, a great way to make an otherwise overused plotline come back with a hell of a punch.

2. Frailty...nice ending, made you think a little too.

3. Donnie Darko...great and beautiful ending, overall a thinking mans film, very well done for a new director.

4. Life is Beautiful...while sad, this is one of the most well done, so simple, yet so powerful.

5. Sixth Sense...need I say more?

6. Battle Royale...well done, overall, can't wait for the sequel.

7. Usual Suspects...if you havent seen this, you're probably the guy who thought the Scorpion King was brilliant.

8. Jacob's Ladder...just go see this, its an awesome ending that actually shocks.

9. Memento...LOVE the screenplay for this, the ending is just AWESOME.

10. American Beauty...not a twist, but well scored, filmed and played out.

11. Se7en... come on, this was just sinister and smart, couldn't see it coming till the very end.

12. Primal Fear...OMG i can't believe this is so low on the list, Ed Norton is at his ABSOLUTE BEST here, damn good acting, made the ending just incredible.

13. The Crying Game...dude looks a like a lady...

14. Dirty Rotten Scoundrels...only comedy with a damn good ending i know.

15. Fallen...bad movie, but surprisingly good ending.

16. Glengarry Glen Ross...never thought it could be him...

17. Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer...best "horror" film ever, most shocking film I've ever seen with such an ending when you realize whats in the...

18. Jeepers Creepers...had some balls for a better than average flick.

19. Joyride...great little movie, damn good as its not what you expect will happen.

20. Murder on the Orient Express...oldie but goodie, never see this one coming when you find out whos responsible.

21. No Mans Land...should've won best Foreign film...damn good ending.

22. Ocean's Eleven (2001)...smart and well done.

23. The Pledge...Jack makes the ending even better, not happy but thats what makes it great.

24. Raising Cain....well done schizo flick, only one I actually liked.

25. Sleepaway Camp...great little cult horror flick, dude looks like a lady...

26. The Talented Mr. Ripley...not a great movie, but I like that its not a conventional ending.

27. Under Suspicion...AWESOME sleeper movie, you could not imagine that he would actually...

28. Vanilla Sky...well done remake of the spanish film, great way to end such a strange film...

I liked the ending of Analyse that.

And the ending of Fifteen Minutes also Robert De Niro.

Still can't get over the ending of Training Day nor Gladiator.

I really liked the Pulp Fiction ending, I had no idea, what those two couple Tim Roth and that other chick were going to rob the store. And Samual L. Jackson was just so brilliant. "it's the one that says bad mother f*cker" I love Tarintino's script!

Dr Strangelove, the movie is old, yet it's good as for once it doesn't all end well that ends well (plus there is some sense of realism in this anihilation of humanity - this is rare too).

Ok, well, I am biased, but the ending of The Empire Strikes Back seems to be the ultimate in cinematic climatic endings.... "No... *I* am your father!" hehe I love it!

Also, for those of you who like punk rock with a Canadian touch, check out Hard Core Logo... awesome, shocking ending! Has to be my fav...
