I watched The Shawshank Redemption for about the 40th time the other day. The ending is sublime. Freeman voiceover: "I hope..." The wind blowing Red's hat off on the beach was perfect and probably not anticipated.

Others?

there are so many that i can think of off the top of my head. sixth sense, odd thomas, but the one that surprised me more than any was The Others. 

 

on the others i thought the whole movie was pretty boring, it had some good scenes, but overall was just OK...until the end

I don't know if it's the best ending, but one I re-watch often is the end of Whiplash

 

 

If you like that …. Then Listen to a handful of songs by The Bad Plus. I think they’re incredible.

Ed Wood's "Bride of the Monster."

All great movies end with a great big EXPLOSION.

"He tampered in God's domain."

The end of Saving Private Ryan in the cemetery is always a good tearjerker.

The end of Godfather III is a good cautionary tale of a life wasted for power.

I agree, it's gotta be Beniers

Love the Bride of the Monster explosion. They're standing 30 feet away!!!! And of course, MST3K does that episode (and it's tied to Manos with the lovely car-selling short "Hired!").

 

In a similar vein of explosion... great movies also end a "big meaning" monologue. Our owners/GMs could learn a lot from Peter Graves.... as could we all.
