Feature Presentation…MONDAY MOVIE MEME
This week’s movie topic is all about Endings…
I have no intention of reviving the Monday Movie Meme again, because I don’t want to “jump the shark.” But I felt it wrong to just kill it off without giving
you the motivation behind things. After all, good movie murderers have an insidious past history that explains why they butcher teenagers in their path. I
thought you should know the reason behind the plug being pulled on the Monday Movie Meme. Here are our favorite endings in film.

If you want the whole story on why this will be the last Monday Movie you can visit The Bumbles. She has been a great host for the 3 year old meme, but I know that having a baby at home is her main priority, as it should be.
So, for the last hurrah we are sharing our favorite endings…
Se7en (1995) Seriously, could there be a more perfect ending for a thriller?
The Usual Suspects (1995) I liked the film but didn’t really love it til the end. This is Kevin Spacey’s second appearance already and in the same year. Busy.
Fight Club (1999) I wasn’t really that into the film, but the ending made me want to watch it again right away.
Glory (1989) This movie based on the Civil War’s first black army could only end one way. With lots of tissues.
A Few Good Men (1992) Who didn’t feel like cheering when Nicholson got led away in handcuffs at the end?
No Way Out (1987) This movie had me on the edge of my seat the whole time and the ending was perfect.
I just realized that none of these was filmed this century! What am I missing?

I remember not being drawn to Fight Club, but then once I actually watched it I loved it! Glory was an awesome movie also that I just watched for the first time a couple of months ago.
The first 3 movies listed were ones that as soon as it ended, I wanted to see it again to make sure I understood everything that just happened. Well, Fight Club just so I could watch Brad’s rippling abs.
I haven’t seen any of those. I just saw The Ides of March and it has a great ending.
I had the same reaction to Fight Club! The reason that none are from this century is because they just don’t make them like they used to! 🙂
I like the ending of Se7vn and The Usual Suspects too! I don’t remember if I have watched the Few Good Men before. Haven’t watched the other ones… other movies I liked were The Sixth Sense and Shutter Island!
You’ve mentioned a few that I haven’t even seen yet. I am so behind with my movie watching!
I’ve been a lurker, reading (and enjoying) the Monday Movie Meme — thanks to all who participated!
Yes, the endings of Fight Club and A Few Good Men would be on my list.
One last time you prove to me how we are movie watching soul mates! I feel exactly the same way about your choices and most all of them are my favorites.
I typed a response that I accidentally deleted…so here’s my list of best endings…
Shawshank Redemption
Thelma & Louise
The Planet of the Apes (original)
Bonnie & Clyde
