    If given the chance, I will always watch the ending of a movie first, and then go back and watch it from the beginning. My theory is - if the ending looks like it sucks (even without knowing what the movie is about) I can then watch from the beginning, keeping in mind the ending - like not getting attached to a charachter who doesn't get to live happily ever after.

    Case in point - The Departed. ~great~ movie, but if I didn't know the end when i watched the whole thing, the ending would have pissed me off. The departed was my "worst ending ever" movie. But I think we got a new winner!

    The Mist. Admittedly not the greatest creature flick. The ending, however, wow, I can't even put it into words. It's heartbreaking. I was stunned. I sat there just a little shocked waching the credits roll. Did that really just happen??

    Does anyone have any other contenders?

    Just wanted to say I loved The Mist and I thought the end was incredible. That's some real horror there!

    Never saw it but after reading the story close to 15 years ago I had to see how they ended the movie.
    In the short story it ends with them in the car and barely catching a radio broadcast to let them know there were other survivors(think it was a Hartford Ct station) so they had hope but that was the end.
    Sounds like the movie was maybe better.

    The Stephen King books I have read really sometimes are difficult to adapt.
    "IT" for example,the movie is okay but loses a lot and the ending was terrible compared to the book.

    NIght is one of my FAVORITE!!!!! I watch all of his stuff... Lady in the Water is better when you watch it the second time... The first time I was like :huh: through the whole movie... The second time, it was more like a hilariously bad comedy...:laugh: So, I can appreciate it now
    "Lady in the Water".

    Does anyone remember this movie?

    I thought cool... M. Night Shyamalan...

    Then at the end this Huge bird flies in outta nowhere and carries her away... What the heck is that even about?

    Eyes Wide Shut..... You could replace the U with an I.

    The whole movie was bad (and long) and, at the end, I was going to phone the producers and ask for the three hours of my life back........

    I didn't care for the ending to "the village". There were so many other ways to go with that one, but I ended up feeling a little bummed.
    Thatentire movie sucked.

    IMO, all of his movies since the 6th sense qualify for this award

    1. Any M. Night shamalan movie except the Sixth Sense.
    2. IT
    3. The new The Thing
    4. The first Paranormal Activity. Either ending. They both sucked.
    one more and I am done...

    The Lord of the Ring trilogy!

    I love the books, love the story, the movies were awesome, right up to the end..

    where it felt like they spent a half hour just showing these stupid folks smiling back and forth at each other! Definately call it the smiley movie, such an out of touch way to end things.

    OMG, yes!!!! Longest ending ever. I almost sporked my eyes out out of boredom!

    Saving Private Ryan. I hate cheesy movie endings!

    I totally agree with both of these, and want to smear a little topping of the 80's movie 'Fatal Attraction' where Michael Douglas is drowning and choking Glenn Close to death in the bathtub and then she rises up out of the water like a zombie so the betrayed wife gets to shoot her. Give me a break!

    Any horror movie in which the big bad doesn't get run through a wood chipper and then salted and burned is terrible.

    "The Perfect Storm"
    Hey, let's spend two hours watching how these brave men conquer their struggles at sea only to have them all drown at the end.

    Really?


    Well that's how it ended in real life. I'm sure their families would have loved for the ending to be different for you too.

    The Departed...way too easy!!! During the whole movie I was trying to find out how the problem will be solved, and here is what they found, lets just kill everybody.

    Jackie Brown. Worst ending to the worst movie ever. I kept waiting for something to happen but no, she just sits there for 5 minutes. Oh Quentin Tarantino, you just think you so clever.

    I felt the same with The Perfect Storm. I didn't know it was a true story. If I'd known, I probably wouldn't have watched it. Same with Braveheart. I'm not a history major. I don't know how every story/historical accounting of everything ends. I didn't know.

    Also hated the end of City of Angels. :(

    The worst for me was Pay It Forward. I had to sit in the theater bawling my eyes out until everyone else was gone so I wasn't so embarrassed.

    I'm seeing a theme here..............I obviously don't like movies that don't have happy endings! LOL

    That's a good one for the list too. Horrible.


    OK, y'all know that was a true story, right? It's not like they could change the ending.

    My thoughts exactly. I'm sure their famillies would have preferred a happier ending as well.

    I loved the ending, so sad. The weird thing was I randomly decided to Redbox it on September 11th. My mom had told me to watch it and that was the day I chose to rent it. After I watched it, I called her freaked out and she said, "I thought'd you heard about the ending so you decided to wait until today to watch it." I hadn't - it was completely random. Scared me so much.
