Title: The Film with the most bizarre ending.
Post by: nimrod on June 21, 2015, 12:18:11 AM: I just watched the film 'Enemy' with Jake Gillenhall, its a kind of tense drama where a guy meets a guy who's his double, the films ending is completely weird and unexpected, it kinda freaked me out, I wont tell as some may want to watch it.
I just read some blog (obtained from imdb) by this guy who reckons to have an explanation but its like reading a phd thesis ffs

Any other films with very freaky endings out there?

wasnt Shutter Island a nominee?

Totally unexpected...... (i'd call that a most bizarre ending)

Wow, that's some classy filmmaking. :P

Still Alice had a bizarre ending in that it didn't really have one, just trailed off. Most disappointing. The book was the same way, but I was sure they'd change the ending for the movie. Sadly, no.

Maybe they were afraid of the ratings if they zoomed in on her butt and...

EH??

Or what?

It was a strange film. Most of it had the feel of an adolescent action film. But bits like that sort of made it too adult oriented.

Post by: Moogmodule on June 22, 2015, 10:38:53 AM: Easy Rider is in that list of classic films I've never got round to seeing. I think catching up on all my unseen classic films will be a retirement project one day.

Post by: Klang on June 22, 2015, 10:49:08 AM: Late 60's films immediately came to mind for me. I think many were breaking away from formulaic happy endings.

Certain Beatle-esque ones can definitely qualify: The Magic Christian, Wonderwall, How I won the War, etc.

There could be a long list made from that era.
