Movie Scenes - Coolest endings

Here is a short list of scenes and moments that I've enjoyed, that occur at the end of the movie. This list changes daily:

The Color Purple - the triple climax, where Oprah restores her self-esteem, the jazz singer wins back her father, and Whoopie Goldberg sees her fmily again. It's amazing how good it is.

Diggstown - After the technicality pits Loius Gosset Jr. against an 11th fighter, James Woods'. . . aw, I can' spoil it for anyone who hasn't seen it. It's hilarious and is the perfect climax for that kind of movie.

Bravehart - Holy moly, after the "Freedom," when the sword goes up in the air, to land upright. . . very emotional.

High Fidelity - When Jack Black fronts for Sonic Death Monkey. The first time I saw this, I was floored by how cool it was.

Before Sunset - "You're gonna miss your plane." "I know."

Empire Strikes Back - The money shot with Luke's arm around Leia, the driods, and teh picture window view of space. The music is perfect.

Rushmore - the reeption after the play, when Jason Schwartzman look at her, and signals to the DJ to play the Rod Stewart song.

Army of Darkness - "Hail to the King, baby."

Fight Club - When they hold hands to watch the buildings start to fall. . . interspiced with a big - fat - $#&@.

The Sixth Sense - I did not see this coming, not even a glimmer.
