Addressing Children’s Week Issues
Blizzard must stop introducing neutral races immediately
MMO-Champion
List your top five "Dark Ending" or "F'd Up Ending" (however you phrase it, like a wicked twist or such) movies of all time. Doesn't have to be in order, just your five fav's. Then if you want say your #1. Explain if you want why you picked what you did (don't have to of course).
Me:
The Road
Surveillance
Memento
Inception
Se7en
#1: The Road (dark ending, not f'd up - well, you could say it was pretty f'd up too)
If you are going to talk about the end of a movie, put up something like **SPOILER ALERT** or similar, so people can read this and then go enjoy the movies that are recommended (if they so wish).

I think you mean, "fucked"!
I watched the movie and then read the book, but my top one has to be Into the Wild. Smart but naive kid goes to rough it in the Alaska bush and starves to death, painfully. Real story, too.

Inception? I dunno, not really dark, just up in the air.
I gotta say the only one that really matters is Dr. Strangelove. You can't beat Peter Sellers or that magnificent bastard George C. Scott.

But a truly twisted ending, sort of a "WTF Ending". Originally Posted by gamma Ray

But that could be part of the dream . . . I mean, the only conclusive part of the story is the top, which is, well, left spinning, not unlike us. Originally Posted by gunner_recall

There are so many theories on this movie its crazy. Everything has been so over analyze in it. I think its the directors intention to just leave it as a question whether their is any solid proof is questionable. Originally Posted by gunner_recall

Fight Club or Jacob's Ladder are probably the most twisted endings to movies I have ever seen.

I'd have to give the most fucked up ending to 'The Departed'. I really liked the movie until that point but I don't think I'll be watching it again for awhile because of the ending.
Other ones I can think of...
-Secret window....good movie until the dumb ending
-Dark Water....just dumb
-Open Water...sorta based on a true story but still, talk about depressing.
-Same thing for Into the Wild I suppose
Edit: Forgot a good (or bad?) one. The Matrix 3, that might actually take top prize, though I can't say I cared too much about it anymore by the end.....seriously, wtf....should have left the original movie alone and ended it thereLast edited by PBitt; 2011-05-20 at 06:47 AM.

I thought Shutter Island was pretty decent, I haven't read Lehane's book so can't comment on that. Requiem for a Dream takes the prize for me tho, can't really find another movie that gets me down like that, maybe it doesn't really fit in this category since the whole film is dark and depressing. Can also recomend watching Funny Games by Hanneke, or any of his other movies as most of them deviate from the "standard" Hollywood endings.
I actually loved the Departed ending

"Pan's Labyrinth", that was a really sad end in my opinion.

I really liked the ending in Identity.
Also, my favorite movie "In Bruges" has a quite remarkable ending - I mean it's not mind-boggling, it's just that you (trying not to spoil here), despite the movie, somehow expect a hollywood ending. It's also #3 in this Misleading Movie Trailer list, if you don't wanna watch the movie yourself (which you should, it's so good).
