I'm thinking Thankfully No!

Inception....I feel if I rewatch it, it will make more sense.

It's actually a very basic concept. A lot of people thought you really need to pay attention and read into every detail. I did, and really for nothing. Take the movie for face value. A dream within a dream within a dream. You do that and it's simple to understand. Great movie by the way.

I understand the concept....watching the trailer tells you that. But this time around I can see how things play out in a new light (somewhat like the 6th sense).

Mission Impossible. Regardless of plot desires, Jim Phelps can never be a bad guy. But then again, I'm old, and well remember the original TV Series.

Otherwise, Scooby-Doo comes to mind!! ;)

Gotcha. Sorry Brother. Mis interpreted the post.:tu

Airplane!

I mean, if they were out of fuel, and just belly landed the plane, how did Otto-pilot take off in the plane again?

I agree that the ending, and maybe even the movie as a whole, is a little disappointing compared to the novel. Kubrick has a tendency to do his own thing and use the book as a starting point (he excised the entire last chapter of "A Clockwork Orange" and actually improved on the book IMO), but regardless, he makes his own work of art that is independent of the "inspiration" when he makes a film. It's funny that two of his films have already been mentioned in this thread. I agree that 2001 makes no sense at the end:r The Shining is by far and away the scariest book I've ever read and my favorite novel by Stephen King:tu

:tpd:
But isn't that the crux of the biscuit? The title tells us that in the end, we're supposed to have doubts about what really happened.

I just watched Donnie Darko for the first time last night and thought it was awesome, I'm waiting for the director's cut on Netflix, but I'd like to hear other's thoughts on it. The way I see it, when Donnie says "How to you know I'm not one(superhero)" it's a reference to the fact that he is either prescient alla Dune's Maud Dib, or at the end of the movie learns to master time travel thanks to Grandma Death, either way, the events we see in the movie are what happened before he was able to travel back in time and prevent his lover's and families' deaths by sacrificing himself, or he simply stayed in bed to give up himself and die to prevent the events of the movie he had seen presciently by dying in the accident, either way, the conversations he has with his science teacher are the key to understanding the film!

Oh, did I mention I love this thread:al:r

Re: What Movie Ending are You Still Unresolved with?
 

I actually love the movie, especially Nicholson's performance which captures rage and madness like no other actor has....just that picture bugs me. :r

Re: What Movie Ending are You Still Unresolved with?
 

It's a great film no doubt, I just happened to read the book first, while I was driving a boat up to Vancouver in seas that almost sank us, and the book had come from the collection of a recently deceased person's collection with a bookmark from her that showed she had never finished it, so needless to say, the movie never quite got creepy enough to live up to the hype:) Oh, and don't read "A Decent Into the Maelstrom" by E.A. Poe when the swells are 30 feet and you have gale force winds at your bow:r

Re: What Movie Ending are You Still Unresolved with?
 

In terms of No Country for Old Men, I GET the ending, but I guess I was not overly satisfied with it.
I guess I am going to have to read The Shining, since I was creeped out by the movie, but not
overly scared. I don't really scare easy. I think that's a result of how movies are made. If you
frame the shot to the left, the monster is about to enter from the right. If the music gets a lil wiggy,
somethings about to pop up out of something else. And on and on and on.

Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Bourne Ultimatum - I just want to know if Jason and Nikki hooked up

Re: What Movie Ending are You Still Unresolved with?
 

I was trying to remember the name of that movie.
I had to look online to figure out what the hell I had just watched. I had absolutely no clue.
The gangster movie with Jack Nicholson and the rat drawing, can't remember the name of it. I've watched that one twice and I still don't get it.
Just looked it up. The Departed. It baffles me.

Re: What Movie Ending are You Still Unresolved with?
 

Shutter Island.

Re: What Movie Ending are You Still Unresolved with?
 

This is another one where the book helps the movie make sense. It's crazy, man, crazy. ;)

Re: What Movie Ending are You Still Unresolved with?
 

I don't think this one counts since the ending is very easy to understand, but I really wish Cuckoo's Nest ended differently. I turn it off when they break the window and assume they left.

Re: What Movie Ending are You Still Unresolved with?
 

It's been a real long time since I watched Escape from Alcatraz but I do recall the ending leaving the viewer to construct the ending.
