I just hate movies with cheesy endings. They completely ruin an entire movie for me.

oh gosh, that nicole kidman hadn't died at the end of moulin rouge, and that instead of a tragic tale of love found and lost, it could have just been a journey of two people from different worlds finding love and conquering all obstacles.
why tragedy?
chris rock dying in the longest yard.
angel dying in RENT
christine should of definitely gone with the phantom.
stuff like that
:P

Pirates of the Caribbean 3. Keira is this completely badass pirate-fighting chick for ninety nine percent of the movie... and then at the end she just drops everything and "Oh I'm going to go raise my baby on a deserted island while I wait for my husband's next-decade visit."

for movies that involves heroes saving their beauty, is always a happy ending except for some like titanic, moulin rouge..
i hate those movies that do not have an ending at all. especially some horror movies.

I'm a nut...

wow finally a question I really like...I would love to see the parents actually embracing their son in August Rush...seriously did Jonathan Rhys Meyers actually think that the kid was his son when he took Kerri Russel's hand at the end of the movie? Please, I would not think that. Also, the end of Gone with the Wind..I know that women are liberated and Scarlett O'hara found herself...but I want to see what happened to her relationship with Rhett Butler...seriously who didn't?

@zzz_beauty@xanga - If
Angel didn't die in Rent, I think the whole philosophy of "No day but
today" wouldn't ring as true. But yeah, it's sad that he dies :'( Then
again, I don't really like the movie that much to begin with - it's not
as true to the play as I'd like it to be.
And I don't think I could believe Christine if she went with the Phantom. I dunno... Maybe I just like tragic endings :P
Anyway,
if I had to pick a movie, I'd pick Reality Bites. I dunno, Slater's
character is such a douche bag throughout the entire movie and then he
gets the girl? It just reinforces the idea that women don't care if a
guy treats her like crap... Eh. Whatev. I'm only thinking about
it 'cause I'm watching it now.. ha.
I've probably got tons of others...

And I'm not sure why I wrote down Slater instead of Hawke... Hmm. Just correcting myself :)

And stupid clifhanger endings. there's the good kind, the ok kind and the crappy kind. There's just way too many crappy cliffhanger endings.

Arlington Road. Ending sucked. (It's a perfect ending to the movie, but I still hate it.)
The gasp, scream, "NO!" from the twelve of us watching the movie...

quarentine, no survivors? come on. Usually when the main character in a movie lives i'm like "WOW THAT'S SO PREDICTABLE." but the previews showed the main character dying, so the ending was only good if you didn't see the preview.

I agree with "the happening" I did not understand the ending at all, was it supposed to leave us with a thought of WTF. I did not think that movie was worth watching after all that torture and such -___-;

I saw a horror movie called Wendigo that was alright and fairly creepy for most of the film, and then did a complete turnaround into the retarded towards the end. Rosemary's Baby also was an amazing horror movie that was ruined by a silly and stupid ending.
The ending of The Game drove me nuts, because if I were in the same position, I would never stop being angry for the rest of my life.
The studio recut ending of Brazil was an abomination, but it almost works in its own horrible way when you know what the real ending is because it stirs antiestablishment feelings. To be clear, Gilliam's intended ending is fantastic.
I always remain a bit bitter over the ending of The Breakfast Club too. Things work out in the end for everyone but the nerd kid, all their lives get significantly improved but nothing has changed for him.
That's enough :P

city of angels.

i suppose it would have been too easy to end it another way but it was still a bit of a shock.

Cold Mountain! I was furious at the end. It's like you get through 2 hours of this man's struggle to get back to the love of his life only to have him die in the last 10 mins. I was crying mad. Boo Hiss!!

Broke Back Mountain... Good movie... of to gay (attractive, I don't like the word "hot") cowboys... but then blue- eyed Jake Gylenhaal dies =..(. SPOILER: And I heard that Nicholas Cages' "Knowing" sucked... Everybody dies.

@sweetNsour_dreamer@xanga - Just watched "Knowing" last night... it was going so well, and then everything just went to hell. Oh, Nicholas Cage, someone needs to help you pick your movies better...

I would have to go with pretty much any M. Night Shyamalan or Stephen King movie (with the exception of the Shawshank Redemption and the Green Mile).

I actually though Bug was interesting till the end. The end was appropriate, but was still way too sudden.
