Films with bad endings.

[Whey]

To contrast the other thread about films with great opening scenes...

Signs. It's discovered the aliens that land on earth can be killed by water... good job they landed on a planet surrounded by water then. Some thick aliens.

The Devil's Advocate. Keanu Reeves kills himself so his Dad (the devil) can't force him to create an offspring. He wakes up in the past as if the whole film had been a dream. Makes the right decision instead of the wrong one that started the whole thing and then the devil reveals himself with awful CGI to be a reporter who was with Keanu all along. Says a one liner to the camera and Paint it Black starts playing. Shite.

Jaws the Revenge. The shark starts roaring like bad dinosaur audio effect from a stop motion creature feature from the 1960s. Ellen Brody then has a flashback to the scene from first film where Brody shoots the original shark, have to assume she saw the first film on VHS? In one version the shark blows up for, reasons.

Grease - why is there a flying car?

Heat.
An excellent film with one of the best shoot out scenes ever committed to celluloid. DeNiro abandons his entire “30’seconds” ethos for some bewer he just met.

Miami Vice
Patchy film with awful casting and some good bits but how did the director of the aforementioned excellent shoot out scene bear responsibility for the muddy shit finale here where you can barely make out who is shooting at whom?

The Usual Suspects
After all that preamble he was bullshitting us from the jump.
Not really it’s brilliant!

I hate it when Bad Santa doesn't die.

I thought Annie should die at the end of Annie as well.

The Directors Cut ending in The Butterfly Effect is better than the nicer ending in the released film IMO.

Even though many movie endings have become canonical, it is often the case that the alternate ending ends up being better than the original.

Alternate Movie Endings That Were Better Than The Original - Looper

When the theatrical cut goes wrong in the final act, alternate endings allow fans to see a film how it really should be, or at least how they want it to be. In many cases, they're even better than the one used in theaters.

The Last Jedi.

The opening bit with the music and the scrawl was top class. The last two hours after it though was the biggest load of shite I’ve ever watched.

 

[High Entropy]

No country for old men.

 

[Steve H]

I watch a lot of 'feelgood' films, don't like bad endings

 

[herra soul mob]

No country for old men.

went on a breaking bad tour/better called saul tour of Albequerque and stopped at where final scene was filmed for that

 

[Son of Stan]

Kes. I know it's faithful to the book etc and reflects the unrelenting gloom of Billy's future. However I just can't watch 10 minutes of a dead bird being swung around. So I have to stop watching about 15 mins before the end.

It's a horrible ending. The fact the clean up crew were mere feet away as well, could you not hear them? Basically just a grim horror trope for the sake of it. Ruins the film
