benos Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 You can either list your single most favorite, or more than one, in categories. Drama Vanishing Point Runaway Train Feel-good The Station Agent Harold and Maude I got started thinking about this when I re-watched The Station Agent. It was perfect for the movie. Then I remembered Vanishing Point (I know that dates me a bit), and then Runaway Train; holy crap, John Voigt was awesome. be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritinUSA Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 There's a lot to choose from, but the one that comes first to my mind was 'Sleeping with the Enemy'. That final scene where Martin confronts his wife, who he thought had drowned... Martin: There's the telephone. You could call the police. I know your every thought, Laura. You're wondering if they can protect you. Who knows? They may issue an order instructing me to stay away from my own wife. Martin: Nothing can keep me away. I love you, Laura. I can't live without you. And I won't let you live without me. Think carefully. Laura (on the phone): Yes, give me the police. Hurry, please. Martin: This is our last chance. Laura: Yes, this is Sara Waters at Tremont. Martin: Take that chance. Laura: Come quickly. I've just killed an intruder. BANG, she shoots him....

ErikW Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 +1 on No Way Out, a fall-out-of-your-chair ending One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, not sure if that is a "feel-good" ending or not. Escape from L.A., one of the most horrible movies ever, had one of the best endings. Snake Pliskin contemplating a world without computers, electronics, etc. as he contemplates his burning match.

9x23 Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Yep, No Way Out. I wonder if there's an alternate ending on the DVD? Possibly "Sixth Sense" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

San_Esteban Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 It may not be my favorite of all time, but due to my short attention span, I'm going with the most recent movie I've seen. The latest Borne movie. The penultimate shot from under Borne, under water. The way it connects with the first shot of the first movie is very satisfying and gives a completeness to the trilogy.

j2fast Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Off the top of my head one of my favorites is Man on Fire, Denzel sacrificing himself for the little girl's safety. I liked the Bourne ending as well, I didn't catch the connection immediately either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iainmcphersn Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 (edited) Off the top of my head one of my favorites is Man on Fire, Denzel sacrificing himself for the little girl's safety. Good movie, much better book. Much darker in places but way over the top compared to the movie. Bloodwork had a pretty nice twist in the movie as well, but does not follow the book. Cool points to the author though, he mentions the story being made into a movie in a later book and the divergent plot line.
