What pieces of media had great endings?

[(Anonymous)]

Inspired by the thread above, on the subject of good endings what books, movies, shows, et cetera had really good endings?

I stand by all five of the original Planet of the Apes films from the 60's/70's. Great endings, each and every one of them.

I still like the due South ending.

Majora's Mask. I still think about the Happy Mask Salesman saying that we could always meet again if you wanted.

The ending of every season of Leverage is a great conclusion.

The Shawshank Redemption.

Watchmen (the comic)

Return of the Jedi. All the Star Wars OT really, as well as the PT. But ROTJ especially just wraps things up perfectly.

I'll always love the Lord of the Rings ending, both book and movie. Yes it is long, but it works.

Lion King's ending is perfect.

Buffy season 7 has issues, but the final episode is perfect.

I agree with you about LOTR.

The Closer, M*A*S*H, Sense8, Madmen, Shameless, Slings & Arrows.....
Jaws, Fifth Element, Auntie Mame....

Good endings are the best. I want everyone to be relatively happy and safe.

I loved the last MASH ep but I wish they had done a where are they now deal (and AfterMASH doesn't count. That show was terrible.)

Re: What pieces of media had great endings?

Yeah, that would have been cool.

What was it you liked about the sense8 ending, if you don't mind me asking? It's solidly in my "I wish they had more time to do it right, it could have been amazing" list of endings.

I liked that we GOT an ending, to start with - we nearly didn't. And while yes, they could have gone further/deeper, but in the time we had, they foiled the bad guys, got the groups we loved together, and everything basically ended up happy-joyful.

For a show like that? Which had SO MANY WAYS to go horrifically wrong and end on the most depressing, downer, awful way? It was INCREDIBLE!

Plus finally seeing a 'everyone is in the same room' moment (and Wolfgang/Kala/Rajan was icing AND cherry on that cake)..... It just worked for me. I long for upbeat and happy endings that actually make sense and tie up as many loose ends as possible, and while the overarching 'bad guys' of that 'verse were still out there, the ending on that front was hopeful and constructive, rather than 'omg, they're going to kill us all after we have this moment of joy', you know?

:D

Six Feet Under. Beautiful and bittersweet and still wrecks me on every rewatch.

Re: What pieces of media had great endings?

Holy crap this.

Yes!
It's so wonderfully sad in a best way

The last line of Red Dragon absolutely slaughtered me (pun intended) when I was 14 and remain in awe of it. Just the simple powerful punch of three words - "Shiloh doesn't care."
