00:00I'm gonna level with you. We can't get married at all.
00:02Why not?
00:04Well, in the first place, I'm not a natural blonde.
00:08Doesn't matter.
00:09Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the movie endings that left us feeling satisfied as
00:16the credits rolled.
00:18I'm gonna give you a little something you can't take off.
00:24Expect heavy spoilers for every entry.
00:26Number 50. Project Hail Mary.
00:30In this sci-fi flick, the human Ryland Grace and the Iridian Rocky form a powerful friendship as they work
00:36together to save both their worlds.
00:48As the pair of travelers from different stars grow closer, we learn that it was ultimately not Grace's choice to
00:54come on the mission,
00:55refusing to give up his life for the greater good.
00:58Accomplishing their task, Grace and Rocky part ways, back to Earth and Iridia respectively.
01:04However, on the way home, Grace discovers Rocky and his entire planet are doomed unless he acts.
01:23This time, Grace does not hesitate.
01:26He changes course to save his friend, sacrificing a life on Earth, but in exchange, getting a beautiful life with
01:32his new bestie, home on a new world.
01:34Who can tell me to speed a light?
01:43Number 49. Lost in Translation.
01:46A melancholic and meandering film about two lost souls, Bob and Charlotte,
01:51that form an unlikely bond in Tokyo while experiencing crisis in their lives and respective marriages.
01:57Wish I could sleep.
01:59I need to.
01:59It's clear from the outset that their time together will be short, and while hints of a romance spark between
02:05them,
02:06each day brings them closer to parting.
02:08We get an awkward goodbye that leaves us feeling anything but satisfied.
02:12Okay. Bye.
02:14Alright.
02:16Just as we think this is the last they will ever see of each other,
02:20Bob spots Charlotte from his taxi and sprints to her.
02:23Hey, hold on here.
02:25Let me out.
02:26The pair embrace, and Bob whispers something and kisses her before a bittersweet farewell.
02:42We never hear what he says, and it doesn't really matter, as both have been changed forever.
02:49Number 48. Rushmore.
02:51Equal parts charming and arrogant, Max Fisher is the quintessential Wes Anderson protagonist,
02:57wise beyond his 15 years, yet naive to the world.
03:01You're being rude, Max.
03:03No, I'm not.
03:03Yes, you are.
03:04No, I'm not.
03:05Seeking the affection of a woman too old for him,
03:08Max cooks up schemes to woo first grade teacher Rosemary,
03:11which unsurprisingly all fail.
03:14What do you really think is going to happen between us?
03:17Do you think we're going to have sex?
03:23That's a kind of cheap way to put it.
03:24After a series of trials and tribulations,
03:28Max finally learns to let go of his affection for Rosemary.
03:31The final scene sees the two of them at a school dance.
03:34Showing the growth he's experienced,
03:36Max has the DJ change up the slow dance to an upbeat tempo,
03:39as he and Rosemary dance as friends,
03:42and the curtain closes on the film.
03:44For love is fine, and you're far too kind,
03:48so never let it show.
03:50Number 47.
03:51Lady Bird.
03:52The complicated and often combative relationship between mother and daughter
03:57is the core of this emotional dramedy.
03:59You're being passive aggressive.
04:01No, I wasn't.
04:01You are so infuriating.
04:03Will you stop yelling?
04:03I'm not yelling.
04:04Oh, it's perfect.
04:06Do you love it?
04:07Christine, aka Lady Bird's decision to head to college in New York
04:11rather than staying home in Sacramento,
04:13drives a further wedge between the pair.
04:15They miss their opportunity to reconcile before she flies to the opposite coast,
04:20but a final scene allows for some catharsis.
04:23After being hospitalized from drinking too much at her first college party,
04:27Lady Bird visits a church and phones home.
04:29Did you feel emotional the first time that you drove in Sacramento?
04:33She leaves a message that reminisces about her hometown and thanks her mother,
04:37providing a moment that's moving for mothers and daughters alike.
04:40I wanted to tell you.
04:44I love you.
04:51I'm...
04:54Number 46.
04:56Aliens.
04:57After having lost everything and everyone she cared about, aside from her tad,
05:01How are you, you stupid cat?
05:03Ellen Ripley finds herself facing down an alien monster once again.
05:07In fact, quite a few of them this time.
05:10However, in doing so, she ends up forming a few unexpected bonds
05:13and creating a newfound family that includes an orphan girl, a space marine, and an android.
05:19We better get back because it'll be dark soon.
05:22And they mostly come at night.
05:24Mostly.
05:25The final sequence of the film sees Ripley rush back into the fray
05:28to save her new surrogate daughter, Newt, from a rather unpleasant mother, the alien queen.
05:34In a final battle that only James Cameron could envision,
05:37Ripley dons a power loader and brawls with the queen,
05:40speaking a line that would be quoted for decades to come.
05:43Get away from her, you b****.
05:47Number 45.
05:49Challengers.
05:50Best friends turned bitter rivals,
05:52both in love with former prodigy Tashi and likely each other,
05:56Challengers sees Art and Patrick facing off on the tennis court.
06:00After a lot of personal revelations via flashback and some very sweaty moments,
06:05the match goes to a tiebreak.
06:07Each brought to the brink,
06:09they begin to play some of the best tennis anyone has ever seen,
06:13fueled by desire and rage.
06:24Volleying and inching closer to each other,
06:26Art begins to soar through the air,
06:28seemingly about to strike his opponent with his racket.
06:31However, in the last second,
06:33they embrace,
06:34remembering the love they had for each other,
06:37as Tashi shouts with a passion she hasn't felt in years.
06:40Come on!
06:47Number 44.
06:49Some like it hot.
06:50One of the most famous final lines in film history
06:53comes from Billy Wilder's iconic comedy about two musicians in drag.
06:57No!
06:58Yes!
06:59You heard her.
07:00Yes!
07:00One of the pair, played by Jack Lemmon,
07:03ends up being accidentally wooed by millionaire Osgood Fielding III,
07:07and the last scene of the film plays out with the pair together on a motorboat.
07:11Still in disguise as Daphne,
07:12Lemon lists all the reasons they can't be married,
07:15but the ever-loving and accepting Osgood rebuffs each one.
07:19In the first place, I'm not a natural blonde.
07:22Doesn't matter.
07:24I smoke.
07:25I smoke all the time.
07:26I don't care.
07:28I have a terrible past.
07:29For three years now, I've been living with a saxophone player.
07:32I forgive you.
07:33Finally, Lemon rips off his wig and reveals the truth,
07:36but in a subversion that's equal parts hilarious and heartwarming,
07:40Osgood claims,
07:41Well, nobody's perfect.
07:48Number 43.
07:50Singing in the Rain
07:51Largely considered one of the great film musicals,
07:54the end of Singing in the Rain was a real showstopper.
07:57At the premiere of the movie within a movie,
07:59The Dancing Cavalier,
08:01the scheming villain played by Jean Hagen is exposed when her lip-syncing is revealed.
08:05This also reveals that Jean Kelly's love interest,
08:08played by Debbie Reynolds, is the real talent.
08:11Ladies and gentlemen, stop that girl.
08:12That girl running up the aisle, stop her!
08:15That's the girl whose voice you heard and loved tonight.
08:17She's the real star of the picture.
08:19His serenade for her turns into a duet as she joins him on stage
08:23in a rendition of You Are My Lucky Star.
08:42The last moments confirm that the couple would star in a film together,
08:45of course, called Singing in the Rain.
08:48Number 42.
08:49Michael Clayton
08:50Over the course of Tony Gilroy's tense thriller,
08:54the titular character, a morally gray fixer played by George Clooney,
08:58uncovers a twisting and sinister conspiracy.
09:01I want to make this crystal clear.
09:02What happened here stays in this room.
09:05This is not a piece of information that you want to be out in front of.
09:08That comes to a head in the penultimate scene,
09:10when Michael survives a car bomb after taking hush money.
09:14The tense final scene seemingly sees Clayton blackmailing his would-be killer.
09:19Gilroy's writing, along with a great performance from Clooney,
09:22playing against the stellar Tilda Swinton,
09:25has the audience on pins and needles.
09:27Just as we think the movie will end on a sour note,
09:30it's revealed that not all is what it seems.
09:43Clayton reveals he was wearing a wire.
09:46The police swoop in, and he literally and metaphorically walks away,
09:49revealing the conscience he never knew he had.
09:52Give me $50 worth.
09:56Let's drive.
09:58Number 41.
10:00Dr. Strangelove
10:01Stanley Kubrick's brilliant political satire
10:04on the mounting threat of nuclear war
10:06between the United States and the Soviet Union
10:08really only could have ended one way.
10:11I am as sorry as you are, Dimitri.
10:13Don't say that you're more sorry than I am,
10:15because I'm capable of being just as sorry as you are.
10:18So we're both sorry, all right?
10:20All of the jokes and buildup were preparing us for nuclear war,
10:23so nothing else would have been satisfying.
10:25President, I'm not saying we wouldn't get our hair must,
10:28but I do say no more than 10 to 20 million kills, tops, depending on the brakes.
10:34The apocalypse kicks off when a bomb,
10:36straddled by a man dressed as a cowboy, drops on the Russians.
10:46Prompting retaliation and a surefire mutually assured destruction.
10:51As the zany former Nazi strangelove rises from his wheelchair for the first time,
10:55the film cuts to a montage of nukes detonating,
10:58as we'll meet again somberly but hilariously gives us the perfect satirical ending.
11:13Number 40, Sinners.
11:23The climax of the story being told in the 1930s,
11:26which involves vampires laying siege to a southern juke joint, is powerful.
11:31But the real finale scene takes place after the credits roll and is set decades later.
11:36The denouement shows an elderly Sammy,
11:39his musical career having taken off in the years since that fateful night.
11:43Traveling.
11:47I don't know why the hell I'm here.
11:56It gives closure to his story, as we see his dreams have been realized.
12:01But we also see a satisfying return of two characters we thought to have died.
12:06Decked out in some incredible 90s fashion,
12:08Stack and Mary arrive in Sammy's bar
12:11and reminisce as a montage of the film's emotional scenes plays out,
12:15set to the blues.
12:16So I'll live like it's the last time
12:19for a long time
12:21at the wrong time
12:23where's the right...
12:24Number 39, Interstellar.
12:26Partway through the film,
12:28Brand muses to fellow spacefarer Cooper
12:30that love is the only thing humanity is capable of perceiving
12:33that transcends time and space.
12:36When I say that love isn't something we invented,
12:39it's observable, powerful.
12:46It has to mean something.
12:47Given that the pair are on a mission to save the world,
12:50while Cooper is getting further in both time and space
12:53from the daughter he left to save,
12:55the moment hits hard.
12:56Only after saving humanity is Cooper reunited with her.
13:00But while he hasn't aged,
13:02she's grown old and had a family of her own.
13:05The pair share a touching final moment
13:07before she reminds Cooper there is only one more person he loves.
13:11waiting out across the stars for him.
13:13Brand.
13:22Along with his robot friend TARS,
13:24Cooper steals a spaceship to make his way back to Brand.
13:28Number 38, Cinema Paradiso.
13:31A favorite of cinephiles across the globe,
13:34Cinema Paradiso tells the story of the friendship
13:36between a young movie lover, Salvatore,
13:39and a projectionist, Alfredo.
13:41We see the pair bond over a shared passion for cinema.
13:45However, some forced censorship forces Alfredo
13:48to cut down the films they enjoy together.
13:50The finale of the film shows an adult Salvatore,
13:53now a director, returning home for Alfredo's funeral.
13:57The projectionist leaves a parting gift to Salvatore,
14:00a film reel.
14:00And when the director watches it,
14:03he is moved to tears.
14:04What plays is a reel of all of the censored kisses,
14:07a beautiful montage that reminds us
14:10of the power of film as a medium.
14:20Number 37, Top Gun Maverick.
14:22A thrilling blockbuster that took the world by storm,
14:26the second Top Gun film had some of the best action sequences
14:29in recent memory,
14:31including an absolutely incredible final set piece.
14:34We took a hand, we took a hand.
14:35Oh, damn it!
14:38After completing their mission
14:39and escaping on a stolen fighter,
14:41the last scene sees Maverick and Rooster
14:44flying back to an aircraft carrier.
14:46As the dilapidated ship sputters out
14:48and prepares to land,
14:50the Hans Zimmer score swells,
14:52and they land safely,
14:54and those on the carrier,
14:55as well as those in the audience, cheer.
15:12The pair embrace loving each other
15:14as much as they both loved Rooster's father
15:16before a final scene where Maverick reunites
15:19with his love interest.
15:20Hold my hand, everything will be okay.
15:25I heard from the heavens that clouds have been...
15:30Number 36, The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.
15:33Sergio Leone's epic Western
15:35ends with a three-way Mexican standoff in a graveyard,
15:39each gunslinger ready to shoot down the others
15:42in order to claim a horde of buried gold.
15:53The scene is a masterclass in tension
15:55as the good, played by Clint Eastwood,
15:58the bad, Lee Van Cleef,
16:00and the ugly, Eli Wallach,
16:03stare each other down
16:03and wait for someone to make the first move.
16:06The Ennio Morricone score and quick editing
16:09raise the pressure to a boiling point
16:11until Angel Eyes draws,
16:13prompting Blondie to shoot him.
16:15This leaves an opportunity for Tuco,
16:17but his gun's been emptied.
16:19A shot from Blondie hits Angel Eyes,
16:21who rolls into a grave.
16:23Eastwood smiles while chomping a cigar,
16:26knowing he's one.
16:27You see, in this world,
16:28there's two kinds of people, my friend.
16:31Those with loaded guns
16:33and those who dig.
16:36You dig.
16:37Number 35, The Godfather.
16:40This one time I let you ask me about my affairs.
16:42Not every satisfying ending to a film
16:45is necessarily a happy one.
16:47In the case of Michael Corleone's journey
16:49in The Godfather,
16:50there is no other satisfactory way
16:52this one really could have concluded.
16:54Chronicling the slow moral decay
16:56of a formerly good man
16:57into the brutal head of a crime family,
16:59responsible for much pain and death,
17:02the film's last image
17:03perfectly emphasizes his character arc.
17:05Don't ask me about my business, Kate.
17:07Is it true?
17:09Don't ask me about my business.
17:11No!
17:12After Michael lies to his wife, Kate,
17:14about murdering his brother-in-law,
17:16she leaves the room.
17:17Looking on through the door,
17:19Kate sees other mobsters
17:20swear allegiance to Michael.
17:22One closes the door,
17:24shutting out forever the good part
17:25of Michael's past,
17:26as a painful look of realization
17:28crosses Kay's face.
17:36Number 34.
17:38Thelma and Louise.
17:39How do you like the vacation sofa?
17:41Ha ha ha ha!
17:42Ha ha ha ha!
17:44Ha ha ha ha!
17:44In any other light,
17:45the freeze frame that concludes the film,
17:48showing its two main characters
17:49having driven over a cliff,
17:51would be a downer outcome.
17:52However, in the context here,
17:54it's an uplifting and beautiful ending.
17:57These two women who finally
17:58take control of their lives,
17:59and as a result,
18:00are chased by the police,
18:02finally end up at the edge
18:03of the Grand Canyon.
18:04Cut your engine off
18:06and place your hands in plain view.
18:08With seemingly nowhere to go,
18:10the pair decide not to surrender,
18:12but to go out on their own terms
18:14and keep going.
18:16Go!
18:22You sure?
18:26Yeah.
18:27They share a kiss
18:29and drive over the edge,
18:30the movie ending
18:31not with their demise,
18:32but them frozen in time,
18:34victorious.
18:39Number 33.
18:40Inglourious Bastards.
18:42When a group of Jewish Americans
18:43set out to kill Hitler
18:45in Tarantino's World War II movie,
18:47we thought we already knew
18:48how it was going to end.
18:50Farberhaft, my lieber.
18:51Farberhaft.
18:52It's your best friend this year.
18:54Anyone that took a history class
18:55knew that the plans of the Bastards,
18:57as well as Shoshana,
18:59to kill high-ranking Germans
19:00and end the war would fail.
19:02However, Tarantino shocked everyone
19:04when he rewrote history.
19:06You'll be shut to this?
19:08Nah, I don't think so.
19:10More like chewed out.
19:10I've been chewed out before.
19:11The ending where they successfully
19:13and brutally take out pure evil
19:15is a cathartic twist
19:17that history never gave us.
19:19It's apt that the last line
19:20of the film is,
19:21I think this just might be my masterpiece.
19:25Hard cutting to a title card reading,
19:27written and directed
19:28by Quentin Tarantino.
19:31Number 32.
19:32Field of Dreams.
19:33If you live,
19:35he will come.
19:37Despite sharing a complicated relationship
19:39with his father,
19:40Ray Kinsella had a love of baseball
19:42instilled upon him
19:43from a young age by his elder.
19:45So when he hears a voice
19:47in his cornfield telling him,
19:48if you build it,
19:49he will come,
19:50and sees shoeless Joe Jackson,
19:53Ray builds a baseball field.
19:54This does indeed bring Joe,
19:57along with many other baseball greats,
19:59including the rest
20:00of the disgraced 1919 Black Sox.
20:03You must keep in pretty good shape.
20:06Let's see, I died in 70.
20:08That means I haven't had a cigarette
20:09in what, 18 years?
20:11However, it is not their pain
20:13that Ray needs to ease,
20:14as it's revealed that Joe's father
20:16is one of the ghostly baseball players.
20:19The pair finally have a moment
20:20they never had in life,
20:21needed to heal their relationship.
20:23Dad?
20:28You wanna have a catch?
20:33I'd like that.
20:34As the film ends with father and son
20:36sharing a catch.
20:38Number 31.
20:39It's a Wonderful Life.
20:41Merry Christmas!
20:42Merry Christmas!
20:44Merry Christmas, George!
20:46Despite having some rather dark moments,
20:48It's a Wonderful Life lives up to its title
20:50and is fondly remembered
20:51as being one of the most uplifting movies ever made.
20:55That comes down in large part
20:56to the film's final scene.
20:58George, I've got a little paper.
20:59I'll bet it's a warrant for my arrest.
21:01Isn't it wonderful?
21:01I'm going to jail!
21:02After George's foolish Uncle Billy
21:04misplaces what would be almost $150,000
21:08in today's money,
21:09the townsfolk of Bedford Falls
21:11come together to raise an equivalent sum
21:13to save George.
21:14His will to live restored
21:16thanks to a vision
21:17from his guardian angel Clarence
21:19and his faith in humanity
21:20restored by the townspeople,
21:22the film ends with jubilation
21:24and George surrounded by love.
21:26Clarence even gets his wings.
21:29Daddy, teacher says
21:30every time a bell rings
21:33an angel gets his wings.
21:36That's right.
21:38That's right.
21:39Number 30.
21:40The Dance.
21:41Avengers Endgame.
21:43Captain America has the most tragic love life
21:45in all of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
21:47Eight o'clock on the dock.
21:48Don't you dare be late.
21:50Understood?
21:53You know, I still don't know how to dance.
21:55Separated from Peggy Carter
21:57after he goes under the ice,
21:59Steve Rogers misses out
22:00on not only decades of history,
22:02but also the life
22:03that they would have shared.
22:04In Avengers Endgame,
22:05thanks to time travel,
22:07Steve Rogers is able
22:08to see Peggy again in the past,
22:10which breaks his heart
22:11all over again.
22:12At the film's conclusion, however,
22:14we see that Steve decided
22:15to stay in the past
22:16and has now grown old.
22:18And sure enough,
22:19he did alongside Peggy,
22:21with whom he finally gets
22:22that long-awaited dance.
22:24After years of waiting,
22:25it felt like a perfect ending
22:26to both Avengers Endgame
22:28and his story.
22:37Number 29.
22:38Okay.
22:39Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
22:41In this sci-fi romance,
22:43Joel and Clementine
22:45have a complicated relationship.
22:47The brilliant script
22:48sets them up
22:48for a surprising
22:49and touching finale.
22:51By the end,
22:52the two reunite
22:53even after learning
22:54that they've erased each other
22:55from their memories.
22:56What do you want, Joel?
22:58Just wait.
22:59I don't know.
22:59I want you to wait for...
23:00just a while.
23:03The duo then decide
23:04to try and make it work
23:05despite all of their
23:06shared history.
23:07Even after they argue
23:09about the risks,
23:10both characters agree
23:11that life is too short
23:12to walk out on each other.
23:13This scene captures
23:15all of the nuances
23:16of a real partnership
23:17without resorting
23:18to cheap gimmicks.
23:19And I'll get bored with you
23:20and feel trapped
23:21because that's what happens
23:22with me.
23:25Okay.
23:31As they go back
23:32to the beach,
23:33both lovers happily
23:34spend time with each other
23:35in a hopeful nod
23:36to the future.
23:37Number 28.
23:39Handshake.
23:40Heat.
23:40After chasing his target
23:42for the entire film,
23:43Lieutenant Vincent Hanna
23:45finally corners
23:46the criminal
23:46Neil McCauley.
23:53The LAPD detective
23:55catches McCauley
23:56at LAX
23:57and mortally wounds him.
23:59Director Michael Mann
24:00could have ended the movie
24:01in a more sensational way,
24:02but he instead explores
24:04a more emotional angle.
24:05The two men share
24:06a handshake
24:07as De Niro's character dies.
24:09It's a moving moment
24:10between opposites,
24:11proving that there's
24:12some respect for each other
24:13hidden underneath
24:14their rough exteriors.
24:23Al Pacino does an amazing job
24:26conveying the moment
24:27on his face,
24:28both relieved
24:28and almost sad
24:30that the chase is over.
24:31It's a fitting end
24:32for two people
24:33who fulfilled
24:33their own prophecies.
24:35Number 27.
24:37The Chopper.
24:38Predator.
24:38This quintessential
24:4080s action flick
24:41sees a team
24:41of muscular mercenaries
24:43facing off against
24:44a powerful alien foe
24:45in the Central American jungle.
24:50Eventually,
24:51their leader,
24:52Dutch,
24:52is the last man standing.
24:54He engages
24:54the Predator one-on-one,
24:56using guile and traps
24:57to finally kill the creature,
24:59though it does technically
25:00get the last laugh.
25:08Action heroes always go up
25:10against absurd odds,
25:12but rarely has a victory
25:13been quite so hard fought.
25:14When Anna and Phillips
25:16pick him up
25:16and they fly off,
25:17you just can't help
25:18but smile.
25:19It's just such a relief
25:20that Dutch managed to
25:21get to the chopper,
25:23especially when so many
25:24of his friends didn't.
25:25Get to the chopper!
25:27Number 26.
25:29Chris is hired.
25:30The Pursuit of Happiness.
25:31I've been pulling double shifts
25:32for four months now, Chris.
25:35Chris Gardner has a rough go
25:36of things throughout this film.
25:37His marriage falls apart,
25:39he loses his apartment,
25:40and he and his son
25:42are ultimately left unhoused.
25:44Nevertheless,
25:45Chris persists
25:46and works hard
25:47in an unpaid internship,
25:48even as life continues
25:49to throw hardships his way.
25:51All of Chris' hard work
25:52pays off, though,
25:53as in the final scene,
25:55he gets the job at the firm,
25:56securing a future
25:57for himself and his son.
25:59Tomorrow's going to be
26:00your first day.
26:02If you'd like to work
26:03here as a broker,
26:06would you like that, Chris?
26:09Yes, sir.
26:10There were few dry eyes
26:11in the audience
26:12during this scene,
26:13as Chris achieved
26:14long-overdue success.
26:15This film isn't an easy watch,
26:17but the emotional payoff
26:18is massive.
26:20Number 25.
26:21Getting the House.
26:22Knives Out.
26:23At the end of this murder mystery,
26:25an unlikely hero
26:26emerges victorious.
26:28Nurse Marta Cabrera
26:29throws up on ransom,
26:31helps Benoit Blanc
26:32solve the case,
26:33and ends up winning
26:34Harlan Thrombey's estate.
26:36I want you to remember
26:37something that's very important.
26:40You won,
26:41not by playing the game
26:43Harlan's way,
26:44but yours.
26:48You're a good person.
26:49Cabrera then sips a mug
26:51on the balcony
26:52of her new home
26:52in a savage moment.
26:54Writer and director
26:55Rian Johnson
26:56lines up all of these
26:57complicated dominoes,
26:59letting them fall
26:59in an elaborate finish.
27:01Watching Ana de Armas' character
27:03thwart the entire
27:04Thrombey family
27:05is just the cherry on top.
27:07After all is said and done,
27:08the movie delivers
27:09a feel-good ending
27:10that you won't forget about.
27:12Number 24.
27:14Smile.
27:15Jaws.
27:15It's the moment
27:16every audience member
27:17wants to see.
27:18After all that trouble,
27:20the heroes of Jaws
27:21come face to face
27:22with the shark.
27:23Martin Brody gets a scuba tank
27:25in the creature's mouth,
27:26and Brody lines up
27:27a perfect shot.
27:28Smile, you son of a...
27:31Blowing the monster sky high,
27:33the police chief celebrates
27:34after saving the day.
27:36You can't help but cheer
27:37as the menacing villain
27:38finally kicks the bucket.
27:42Perfectly executed
27:43by director Steven Spielberg,
27:45this finale has all the tension
27:47one could want
27:48from a suspenseful film.
27:49It's ultimately a satisfying
27:51and explosive conclusion
27:52to an amazing blockbuster.
27:59Number 23.
28:01Solo.
28:02Whiplash.
28:03Andrew Neyman wants to be
28:04the best musician possible.
28:06When given the chance
28:07to play for the demonic Fletcher,
28:09the hero decides
28:10to really show off.
28:11I'll cue you in.
28:13Caravan.
28:16Three, four.
28:19This performance brings together
28:20amazing directing,
28:22editing, and music
28:23into one unforgettable moment.
28:25Miles Teller gives his all
28:27to a scene that involves
28:28an impressive drum solo.
28:30Shocking everyone in the process,
28:31his student character
28:32finally joins the band
28:34to close out a phenomenal
28:35piece of filmmaking.
28:37Andrew, what are you doing, man?
28:38I'll cue you.
28:44It's part tragedy,
28:45part success story,
28:47but it's all told
28:47with the electricity
28:48of a real concert.
28:50There's no doubt
28:51that you'll be air drumming
28:52as the credits roll.
29:01Number 22.
29:03Rudy gets to play.
29:04Rudy.
29:05The hero of this sports classic
29:07has one singular goal.
29:08He spends the entire film
29:10on a mission,
29:11leading towards
29:11a hugely satisfying end.
29:13It all comes down
29:14to one play
29:15where Rudy finally
29:16takes the field
29:17for Notre Dame.
29:18Rudy.
29:19Rudy.
29:21Rudy.
29:22Rudy.
29:23Rudy.
29:24Rudy.
29:24Kill the clock.
29:25Just tell him to go to a knee.
29:26With his team cheering him on,
29:27the athlete gets carried
29:29off the field
29:29after his appearance.
29:31It's especially moving
29:32to see a determined character
29:33finally get the recognition
29:34they deserve.
29:35Based on a true story,
29:37this underdog tale
29:38inspires anybody
29:39who dares to dream.
29:40The ending finds a way
29:42to transcend
29:42the usual sports cliches
29:44for something
29:44even more heartwarming.
29:55Number 21.
29:56Full Circle.
29:57Harry Potter
29:58and the Deathly Hallows
29:59Part 2.
30:00The Wizarding World
30:01came together
30:02to defeat Voldemort,
30:03but the real end
30:04of the film
30:05comes with a time jump.
30:06Audiences get to see
30:07Harry, Hermione,
30:08and Ron
30:09sending off their own kids
30:10to Hogwarts.
30:11Together.
30:18Any fan of the series
30:19finds themselves
30:20in a vortex of nostalgia
30:21at this point.
30:22In a Full Circle moment,
30:24the friends reunite
30:25on the iconic platform
30:26to watch their children
30:27start a new adventure.
30:29It's a little easier
30:30to take the end
30:31with the knowledge
30:31that it's only the beginning.
30:33From Philosopher's Stone
30:34to Deathly Hallows,
30:36the entire franchise
30:36has a beautiful conclusion
30:38that focuses on
30:39the characters above all.
30:49Number 20.
30:50Goodbye.
30:51E.T.
30:52The Extraterrestrial.
30:53While Elliot Taylor
30:54and E.T.
30:55become friends,
30:56the former eventually
30:57realizes that his alien buddy
30:58can't stay forever.
31:00The two finally have to say
31:01their farewells
31:02in a tearful goodbye.
31:03As the extraterrestrial
31:05prepares to board his ship,
31:07he shares a heartfelt
31:07and simple send-off.
31:09Whether you're a kid
31:10or an adult,
31:11nothing can prepare you
31:12for this emotional separation.
31:14It's the kind of touching end
31:15that still makes us cry
31:17all these years later.
31:34Brought together by the mythical music
31:36of John Williams,
31:37this scene still ranks
31:38as one of Steven Spielberg's best.
31:41Number 19.
31:42Don't You Forget About Me.
31:44The Breakfast Club.
31:45This teen film follows a group
31:47of high school students
31:48in detention.
31:49No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
31:53I can't believe this is really happening to me.
31:55All come from different cliques
31:56and have preconceptions
31:58about the others.
31:59But as the day goes on,
32:00they realize they have more in common
32:01than they thought,
32:02reaching a better understanding
32:04of each other and themselves.
32:06Of course,
32:06it doesn't hurt
32:07that they find a common enemy
32:08in assistant principal Vernon.
32:10At the end of the film,
32:11Vernon reads an essay
32:12written by Brian,
32:13summarizing what the students
32:14have learned together.
32:16As Simple Minds,
32:17Don't You Forget About Me plays,
32:19the students part ways.
32:20The future might be uncertain,
32:22but they've made new bonds
32:23and a lifelong memory.
32:25John's fist pump
32:26in the last shot
32:26says it all.
32:28Sincerely yours,
32:31The Breakfast Club.
32:33Number 18.
32:35Feather on the Wind.
32:36Forrest Gump.
32:37He might not be the smartest,
32:39but he's got a huge heart.
32:40And throughout his life,
32:42Forrest Gump's positive attitude
32:43leads him to have
32:44numerous unique experiences.
32:46The one constant, however,
32:48is his love for his childhood friend,
32:50Jenny.
32:50From that day on,
32:51we was always together.
32:52Jenny and me was like peas and carrots.
32:55His joy at them finally reuniting
32:56and getting married
32:57is sadly tempered
32:58by Jenny's untimely death from illness.
33:01But it's plain to see
33:02that in their short time together,
33:03they brought each other
33:04a lifetime's worth of happiness.
33:06Moreover,
33:07it's incredibly heartwarming
33:08seeing Forrest be a father to their son.
33:11The image of a feather
33:12blowing in the breeze
33:13might be open to interpretation.
33:14But as Forrest sends his son off to school,
33:17viewers can't help
33:17but feel their spirits soar with it.
33:27Number 17.
33:29Dynamite Unleashed.
33:30Django Unchained.
33:31A revisionist Western
33:33focused on the title character's quest
33:35to rescue his wife from slavery,
33:36Django Unchained builds
33:38to the moment beautifully.
33:39Hey, little troublemaker.
33:41Just as Django and Schultz's
33:43initial attempt to rescue Broomhilda
33:44looks poised to succeed,
33:46it all goes horribly, horribly wrong.
33:49Schultz is killed,
33:50Django is tortured
33:51and sold to a mining company.
33:53Things look bleak.
33:54However, Django manages
33:56to outwit his captors
33:57and fight his way to freedom.
33:58Returning to the plantation
34:00with dynamite,
34:01he blows the whole thing
34:02to smithereens,
34:03then rides off with his wife.
34:05Satisfaction and style.
34:06What more could you ask for?
34:08Hey, little troublemaker.
34:10Hey, big troublemaker.
34:12Number 16.
34:14A Friend for Dinner.
34:15The Silence of the Lambs.
34:16One of the most frightening
34:17thrillers ever made,
34:19The Silence of the Lambs
34:20has two related story arcs.
34:22Clarice Starling's pursuit
34:23of serial killer Buffalo Bill
34:25and her interactions
34:26with Dr. Hannibal Lecter.
34:28I'm offering you
34:28a psychological profile
34:30of Buffalo Bill
34:30based on the case evidence.
34:33Clarice is able
34:34to capture Buffalo Bill
34:35after enduring
34:36one of the most harrowing
34:37suspense sequences in cinema.
34:39Meanwhile,
34:40Lecter manages to escape
34:41his bonds
34:42and calls to congratulate
34:43Agent Starling
34:44on her victory,
34:45ominously telling her
34:46that he's having
34:47an old friend for dinner.
34:48I do wish we could
34:49chat longer,
34:50but I'm having
34:52an old friend for dinner.
34:54Unlike Clarice,
34:55viewers can see
34:56that he's eyeing
34:56the psychiatrist
34:57who was in charge of him
34:58while he was imprisoned.
34:59It's an ending
35:00that leaves audiences
35:01happy about Clarice's success
35:03and also intrigued
35:04by the prospect
35:05of Dr. Lecter being at large.
35:07Number 15.
35:08Where is my mind?
35:09Fight Club.
35:10What begins as an excuse
35:12for men to beat
35:12the crap out of each other
35:14eventually turns
35:14into something even darker.
35:16She knows too much.
35:18I think we're gonna have
35:19to talk about
35:20how this might compromise
35:21our goals.
35:22Tyler Durden leads
35:23the unnamed narrator
35:24and their gang
35:25into becoming
35:26domestic terrorists.
35:28Perhaps more disturbing,
35:29at least for the narrator,
35:30is the fact that
35:31Tyler is actually
35:32the other half
35:33of his fractured psyche.
35:34It all comes to a head
35:35when the narrator,
35:36armed with this knowledge,
35:38shoots himself in the mouth,
35:39effectively killing Tyler.
35:41Then, looking out
35:42over the horizon
35:42with his romantic interest Marla,
35:44they watch the city explode.
35:46It's terrifying
35:47and mesmerizing
35:48all at once.
35:49Plus, the song choice
35:50is amazing.
35:55You met me
35:56Star Wars Episode 6,
35:58Return of the Jedi.
35:59The finale of the original
36:01Star Wars trilogy
36:02sees multiple battles
36:03play out simultaneously.
36:09Our heroes take the fight
36:11to the Empire on Endor
36:12and in space
36:13around the second Death Star,
36:15while Luke faces his father.
36:17Their epic duel
36:18is interrupted
36:18by the Emperor,
36:19whose attempt to kill Luke
36:20drives Vader
36:21to protect his son
36:22and kill his former master,
36:24becoming mortally wounded
36:25in the process.
36:30Although Luke laments
36:31that he wasn't able
36:32to save his father,
36:33an unmasked Anakin Skywalker
36:35assures him
36:36that he already has.
36:37I'll not leave you here.
36:38I've got to save you.
36:40You already have Luke.
36:44This is driven home
36:45by seeing him made whole
36:46when he returns
36:47as a Force ghost
36:48during the victory celebrations.
36:50Seeing a villain redeemed
36:51is always rewarding,
36:52and hey,
36:53who doesn't love a party?
36:55Number 13.
36:56What Alfred Sees
36:57The Dark Knight Rises
36:58The conclusion
37:00of the Dark Knight trilogy
37:01sees Batman
37:02seemingly sacrifice himself
37:03to tow a bomb away
37:04from Gotham City.
37:09The city,
37:10and especially Alfred,
37:12mourn him
37:12and pay tribute to the hero,
37:14while the torch
37:14is seemingly passed on
37:15to a new potential crime fighter.
37:17When the dust settles,
37:18Alfred visits a cafe
37:19in Florence
37:20where he sees Bruce Wayne
37:22seemingly alive and well
37:23with Selina Kyle.
37:29To be fair,
37:30this could very well
37:31just be in Alfred's imagination.
37:33The butler actually described
37:34just such a fantasy
37:35to Bruce earlier in the film.
37:37I had this fantasy
37:40that I would
37:41look across the tables
37:43and I'd see you there
37:45with a wife.
37:47And considering the end
37:48of Inception,
37:49we wouldn't put it past
37:50director Christopher Nolan.
37:52Regardless,
37:52it's still gratifying
37:53to see the hero
37:54who sacrificed so much
37:55get a happy ending.
37:57Number 12.
37:58Maximus Kills Commodus
38:01A former Roman general,
38:03Maximus is forced
38:04into slavery
38:04after his wife and son
38:05are murdered.
38:06Becoming a gladiator,
38:08Maximus works his way
38:09up to the Colosseum.
38:10By making a name
38:11for himself
38:12and winning over the people,
38:13he eventually gets
38:14the opportunity
38:14to face the man
38:15who betrayed him,
38:16the Emperor Commodus,
38:18in single combat.
38:19Do you think I'm afraid?
38:22I think you've been afraid
38:23all your life.
38:25Despite Commodus cheating
38:26by stabbing him beforehand,
38:27Maximus manages to defeat
38:29his foe and win.
38:31Although he dies
38:32soon afterwards,
38:33it's a glorious death
38:34and one that reunites him
38:35with his family at last.
38:36But after all that Maximus
38:38has endured,
38:39it's fulfilling to witness
38:40a hero not only get justice,
38:42but also peace and happiness
38:43in the afterlife.
38:45Number 11.
38:46Searching for Happiness
38:47Good Will Hunting
38:48Will Hunting is a talented genius,
38:51but his personal
38:52and professional lives suffer
38:53because he consistently
38:54sabotages himself.
38:56You know what the best
38:56part of my day is?
38:58For about 10 seconds
39:00from when I pull up
39:00to the curb
39:01and when I get to your door.
39:03Because I think
39:03maybe I'll get up there
39:04and I'll knock on the door
39:05and you won't be there.
39:06Afraid of failure,
39:07he pushes people
39:08and opportunities away.
39:10This includes Jobs
39:11and his girlfriend Skylar
39:12who asks him
39:13to move to California
39:14with her.
39:15After unearthing
39:16some personal trauma
39:17and dealing with it,
39:18Will rejects many
39:19of the job offers
39:20he's received.
39:21However, this time
39:22it's because he's going
39:23in pursuit of Skylar
39:24and happiness
39:25instead of running
39:25from potential pain.
39:27If the professor
39:27calls about that job,
39:29just tell him,
39:30sorry.
39:31I had to go see
39:32about a girl.
39:33Will.
39:34While it's bittersweet
39:35for the friends
39:35he leaves behind,
39:36we can't help
39:37but be happy
39:37that Will is finally
39:38going after what he wants.
39:39Number 10.
39:41The Devil's Greatest Trick
39:42The Usual Suspects
39:44Who is Kaiser Soze?
39:46This question becomes
39:47the focal point
39:48of an ingenious script.
39:50Wait a minute.
39:50I don't have a minute.
39:51Now are you saying
39:52you saw Kaiser Soze?
39:53You told the DA
39:54you didn't know who it was.
39:55Kevin Spacey's
39:56verbal kint
39:57rattles off his tail
39:58to investigators
39:59before disappearing.
40:00Chaz Palmentieri's
40:02Agent Dave Kujan
40:03realizes too late
40:04that he's been duped.
40:05The Usual Suspects
40:07sets up an amazing story
40:08but quickly pulls the rug
40:09out from under the audience.
40:11Kint actually steals details
40:13from Kujan's bulletin board
40:15making a dramatic exit
40:16before anyone can catch him.
40:18It's me.
40:19Tell me every last detail.
40:20You know back when I was
40:20in that barbershop quartet
40:21in Skokie, Illinois?
40:22Where's your head,
40:23Agent Kujan?
40:24What we need to do
40:25is think.
40:26Think back.
40:27I'm sure you've heard
40:27many tall tales.
40:28Bricks Marlin.
40:29This isn't right.
40:30I just want to hear
40:30every last detail.
40:31It's all there.
40:32With great reactions
40:33from Palmentieri
40:34the revelation washes
40:35over the audience
40:36in a fantastic climax.
40:38It's an impressive
40:39writing feat
40:40that few films
40:40have ever topped.
40:42After that,
40:44my guess is
40:45you'll never hear
40:45from him again.
40:46Number 9.
40:47Neo Flies Away
40:48The Matrix
40:49The climax of this
40:51cyberpunk action
40:52blockbuster
40:52sees Neo attempting
40:54to leave The Matrix
40:55after saving his mentor.
40:56Mr. Wizard,
40:58get me the hell out of here.
40:59Got a patch on an old exit.
41:00Wabash and Lake.
41:01Before Neo can escape,
41:03however,
41:03the deadly Agent Smith
41:04delivers a killing blow
41:06to our valiant hero.
41:07Fortunately,
41:08his love interest Trinity
41:09is able to restore him
41:10with a kiss.
41:11He proceeds to not only
41:12rise from the dead
41:13but live up to his status
41:14as the one,
41:15blowing Smith up
41:16from the inside.
41:17The ending sees him
41:18telling the machines
41:19that he'll free the humans
41:20still trapped
41:21before flying away,
41:23signaling his new mastery
41:24over The Matrix.
41:25A world
41:26where anything is possible.
41:31Where we go from there
41:32is a choice I leave to you.
41:35After watching Neo
41:36and his friends
41:36barely survive
41:37against their foes,
41:38his promise to take
41:39the fight to them
41:40is awesome.
41:41Number 8.
41:42A New Day
41:43Groundhog Day
41:44Phil Connors hates
41:46Groundhog Day
41:47and Punxsutawney.
41:48Too bad he's trapped
41:49in both.
41:50It's Groundhog Day.
41:51It's still just once a year,
41:53isn't it?
41:53Stuck repeating the same day
41:55over and over again,
41:56Phil lives years in one day.
41:58Although sometimes depressed,
42:00Phil eventually comes
42:01to love the town
42:02and its people
42:03and becomes a better person
42:05by doing good for others
42:06every loop.
42:07After his co-worker Rita
42:09falls for him
42:09in the get-together,
42:10Phil is initially disappointed
42:12that the day appears
42:12to be repeating itself.
42:14But then he discovers
42:15that February 3rd
42:16has finally come
42:17and that Rita
42:18is still with him.
42:19Do you know what today is?
42:20Know what?
42:23Today?
42:23Today is tomorrow.
42:25It happened.
42:29You're here.
42:30It's a long,
42:31strange trip
42:31that Phil goes on
42:32and it's wonderful
42:33to see him come out of it
42:34enlightened and happy.
42:36Let's live here.
42:37Number 7.
42:38A Beautiful Friendship
42:39Casablanca
42:40You could argue
42:41that Hollywood
42:42has yet to top
42:43the romantic heights
42:44of Casablanca.
42:45This classic love story
42:46comes to a close
42:47as Rick sends Ilsa
42:49on a plane without him.
42:50If that plane leaves the ground
42:51and you're not with him,
42:52you'll regret it.
42:53Maybe not today,
42:54maybe not tomorrow,
42:55but soon and for the rest
42:56of your life.
42:58But what about us?
43:00We'll always have Paris.
43:01It's a heartbreaking farewell
43:02that remains a true test
43:04of anyone's tear ducts.
43:05The actual ending
43:07finds Humphrey Bogart
43:08and Claude Rains' characters
43:10narrating their victory
43:11in style.
43:12Walking into the night,
43:13these heroes make sure
43:14that the film ends
43:15on a positive note.
43:17Well, Rick,
43:17you're not only a sentimentalist,
43:19but you've become a patriot.
43:21Well, we better seem
43:21like a good time to start.
43:23Both actors have
43:24a timeless charm
43:25as they share
43:25some of the most iconic lines
43:27in movie history.
43:28In Michael Curtiz's masterpiece,
43:31every single element
43:32falls into place
43:33to make for cinematic magic.
43:35Louie,
43:36I think this is the beginning
43:38of a beautiful friendship.
43:39Number 6.
43:40Adrian, Rocky.
43:42The quintessential underdog,
43:44Rocky gives it his all
43:45preparing for a fight
43:46against heavyweight champion
43:47Apollo Creed.
43:48So all I want to do
43:49is go the distance.
43:56Nobody's ever gone
43:57the distance with Creed.
43:58While he doesn't think
43:59he can win,
44:00he still tells his girlfriend
44:01Adrian that he wants
44:02to go the distance.
44:03And indeed he does.
44:05Rocky's bout with Creed
44:06is one for the ages.
44:08Rocky survives for 15 rounds
44:10against the more experienced fighter
44:11and endures a lot of punishment
44:13along the way.
44:14The fight ultimately ends
44:15without a knockout,
44:16but Creed is declared
44:17the victor by split decision.
44:19For Rocky, though,
44:20it doesn't matter.
44:21Sometimes it's not about
44:22winning or losing,
44:23but proving yourself.
44:24And Rocky showed us all how.
44:26He declares his love for Adrian,
44:28and she for him,
44:29and the world cheers.
44:30Hey, I do it!
44:33You love me!
44:34You love me!
44:38Those fans out there
44:39are totally rematching
44:40your fans in.
44:40I need a rematch!
44:41Hey, y'all, come on!
44:43I don't know if this is my place!
44:44Number 5.
44:46Truman Escapes
44:47The Truman Show
44:48Oh, and in case I don't see you,
44:49good afternoon,
44:50good evening,
44:51and good night.
44:51Truman Burbank's entire life
44:53is a carefully controlled TV show.
44:55His gradual realization
44:56of that fact
44:57leads him to try and leave
44:59the town he's lived in
45:00all his life,
45:01eventually setting sail
45:02across the ocean
45:03despite a fear of water.
45:05After crashing into
45:06the edge of the world,
45:07Truman discovers
45:07a door leading outside.
45:09As he prepares to leave,
45:11his show's creator
45:12and director
45:12begs him to stay.
45:14However, Truman has had enough,
45:15and his only response
45:17is to deliver his catchphrase,
45:18bow to the camera,
45:19and walk out the door.
45:21In case I don't see you,
45:23good afternoon,
45:24good evening,
45:25and good night.
45:29Yeah.
45:30As pleasant as Truman's
45:32surroundings were,
45:33he was a prisoner
45:33all his life
45:34for the entertainment
45:35of others,
45:36so his escape
45:37feels extremely rewarding.
45:39Number 4.
45:40Sunset
45:41Indiana Jones
45:42and the Last Crusade
45:43Indiana Jones'
45:44shared quest
45:45with his father
45:46for the Holy Grail
45:47sees them compete
45:48with Nazis
45:48to attain this sacred object.
45:50I never expected
45:51to see you again.
45:53I'm like a bad penny.
45:54I always turn.
45:55Indy is able
45:56to save his father's life
45:57by selecting the correct cup,
45:59but an attempt
45:59to leave with the cup
46:00causes the temple
46:01to collapse.
46:02Although Indy
46:03nearly dies pursuing it,
46:05his father convinces him
46:06to let it go.
46:07Indiana.
46:11Let it go.
46:13Dr. Jones chooses wisely
46:14and decides
46:15that life is more important.
46:17Along with their companions,
46:18they make it out
46:19and, after some banter,
46:20ride off into the sunset
46:21for more adventures.
46:23Literally.
46:23After you, Junior.
46:26Yes, sir.
46:33What better way
46:34to end an adventure
46:35than with a lesson learned
46:36and the promise
46:37of adventures to come?
46:39Number 3.
46:40Rosebud
46:40Citizen Kane
46:41This famous
46:42and hugely influential film
46:44begins with the death
46:45of Charles Foster Kane,
46:47whose last word,
46:48Rosebud,
46:48leads to much speculation
46:50and investigation.
46:52Rosebud.
46:58Through those that knew him,
46:59we get glimpses
47:00of Kane's rise and fall.
47:02Generally speaking,
47:03the picture that's painted
47:04isn't an especially
47:05flattering one,
47:06and it's only in the final
47:07minutes of the movie
47:08that we're shown
47:08that Rosebud was the name
47:09of his childhood sled.
47:11With this one detail,
47:12everything changes.
47:14It illustrates that,
47:15however much the man changed,
47:17Kane still valued
47:18the innocence of his youth.
47:19Like any good mystery,
47:21once it's solved,
47:21there's really nothing
47:22else left to say.
47:24Number 2.
47:25You bow to no one.
47:26The Lord of the Rings,
47:27the return of the king.
47:29Sure, some would argue
47:30that there are more endings
47:31to this movie
47:31than there are rings of power.
47:33But to those people,
47:34we say go back to the shadow,
47:36because they are all great.
47:37We'll be focusing
47:38on one in particular, though.
47:40With Sauron defeated
47:41and Frodo and Sam rescued,
47:43there's a tremendous relief
47:44as the world has been saved.
47:45Not only that,
47:46Aragorn and Arwen
47:48get together at last.
47:49Best of all, though,
47:50when the hobbits
47:51go to bow to them,
47:52the newly crowned king
47:53bows to them instead,
47:55and everyone follows suit.
47:57You bow to no one.
47:59It's tremendously satisfying
48:00to see our heroes
48:01get the recognition
48:02they deserve,
48:03finally judged
48:04by the strength
48:04of their convictions
48:05rather than their short stature.
48:16Before we continue,
48:18check out this single
48:19from Sound Mojo's album
48:20current,
48:21EDM Transformed.
48:22Check out the full track
48:23and album below.
48:37Number 1.
48:39Reunion.
48:39The Shawshank Redemption.
48:41Andy Dufresne has a rough go
48:43of it in prison
48:43for a crime he claims
48:45he didn't commit.
48:46It shows my blood
48:47just to look at you.
48:50By the power vested in me
48:52by the state of Maine,
48:53I hereby order you
48:54to serve two life sentences
48:56back to back.
48:57However,
48:57his stay there
48:58is made easier
48:59by his friendship
48:59with fellow inmate,
49:01Red.
49:01One night,
49:02Andy enacts a daring
49:03and successful breakout attempt,
49:05leaving for Mexico.
49:06Meanwhile,
49:07Red has to wait
49:08to be paroled.
49:08But Andy left behind
49:10money and a note
49:11instructing Red
49:11to come find him
49:12at a place
49:13they once discussed.
49:13Although the escape
49:15in itself
49:15is among the most
49:16cathartic moments
49:17in all of cinema,
49:18seeing these two friends
49:19reunite on a beach
49:20is pretty dang
49:21heartwarming too.
49:22I hope to see my friend
49:23and shake his hand.
49:27I hope the Pacific
49:28is as blue
49:29as it has been
49:29in my dreams.
49:31And that
49:32is how you end
49:33a movie.
49:34Which movie
49:35left you feeling
49:35satisfied in the end?
49:37Let us know
49:38in the comments.
49:43Bye.
