This list is gas. I love a hierarchy that lets the reader decide which is "better." Do we want an ending that requires fewer or more open tabs to understand?
Stalker does not roll its credits while the men are outside the room, it ends when they return home, the Stalker complains to his wife that no one believes in hope anymore. Then we have the monologue from the Stalker’s wife about how she as also told that the Stalker was no good from her mother and others in her love, but her undying love and pure faith have always persisted even without reason just like the Stalker’s one for the room. It ends with a miracle happening with the Stalker’s daughter monkey moving the glass, proving that there is still something else out there in the world.
Spoiler Alert: The Manchurian Candidate starring Angela Lansbury and Frank Sinatra.......Someone will be elected president of the USA with adoration and enthusiasm.....
I left off at #33. Had to take a break. Since last library DVD check out couple years ago I only watch movies shown free TV.
So reading the ending only is great.
I'm going to finish another day.
Great idea. They would probably be mad at you if you did this with new releases. Still.......the movie reviewer who always spoils the ending.......might be popular...
I wonder if you looked at the ending of the original The Manchurian Candidate.....starring Frank Sinatra and the Murder She Wrote star Angela Lansbury long before that TV show..... movie was about the assassination of a presidential candidate.....and when JFK was killed in Dallas (by not the CIA, anti Castro Cubans, the Mafia, the FBI ....)......so anyway.....I think they canceled the release and held it for years.....I think I saw it once somewhere in a theater? 25 more or less years ago.....so I think I remember the ending but would watch it again.....I need to pay my library fine and see if I can check out a DVD.
Spoiler Alert ....the movie ends with a person being cheered with adoration.. clearly on their way to being elected president of the United States of America.....
(There may have been a remake....I mean with Frank Sinatra and Angela Lansbury.)
If you have not looked at the ending of The Manchurian Candidate.....maybe you will now......
If interested check out my art print on demand POD art website .....I just have 100 photos and paintings..just joined Substack to post poems and soon some investigative journalism and commentary.....
Wow. I just actually READ read this. There's not a single one left out, Sophie. Congratulations on your achievements thus far. What an amazing career in criticism we all aspire to so . . . cleverly synopsized here. It's amazing, actually.

Thank you so much! I hate words like best/worst when it comes to films so thought I'd get creative haha. Glad you enjoyed ❤️
"Some secrets are better left in Cambodian ruins, covered in mud and longing." Goddamn right.

A secretive mood, I assume ;-)

Blazing Saddles has a silly ending in my opinion, maybe I missed something.
