C'est fini!

Great endings can elevate a good movie (or even an average one) into something truly special.



Often it's forbidden love:







"Baby, you are gonna miss that plane."



Once in a while it's just pure, unspoken bliss:



And sometimes it's rooted in (or liberated by?) desperation:





But my all-time favorite, preserved in amber, remains:



"The city seen from the Queensboro Bridge is always the city seen for the first time, in its first wild promise of all the mystery and the beauty in the world"

- Nick Carraway, F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby

Nice finale's. When you posted this it made me think of the ended of Witness for the Prosecution.
