What the hell kind of sick pervert came up with this. 2 people having sex on an autobot while other autobots watch.

Megan Fox is ******* hot
 
Eye Wide Shut...when Nicole Kidman says to Tom, "We need to ****". Then the credits rolled.

I'm still trying to figure out what that flick was about.
 
any thread with the words "worst" and "movie" can be answered with "Eye of the Beholder". I'd also rank "Signs" in there somewhere.. "swing away". Wow. Friggin brilliant writing.
 
The director's cut of Hostel.

That's definitely one that the director got wrong and the producer said WTF? and fixed the glitch.
 
War of the Worlds typifies a type of ending that I hate.

In conflict, it is dramatically powerful that being "good" is not proof against suffering. Look at Old Yeller for the most obvious mainstream example.

Spoiler Alert




In War of the Worlds, which had some pretty good moments, Tom Cruise sees his rebellious son become a man in his desire to do something to fight back against the aliens. He goes over a hill to join the soldiers and is presumably obliterated.

Nope, he shows up in the happy suburban front yard for the tearful hug. A decision like that is what will always separate Spielberg from the great directors, in my opinion. He's a rank sentimentalist with mad film making skills.

I'm also sick of the mandatory run-to-catch your nearly lost lover sequence that has been done to death. It's funny, because I believe that formula was embraced after when Harry Met Sally which, as far as I could see, is pretty much a Woody Allen movie without the pain. In Manhattan, Allen runs across town and catches the girl he wants (that she is too young has become uncomfortable over time), but she does not stay. She promises to come back to him, but you know it will never happen.

So, long winded post about two types of endings I deplore.
 
I will claim for all time that True Lies fits this description.

The first 90 minutes of this movie are freaking AWESOME, Tom Arnold is the absolute **** in this movie, and makes it work.

Its all well and good right up to the point where the Nuke goes off.

At that MOMENT the entire movie is destroyed.

The ******* planes AND cars wouldnt have been working- the electronics would have been fried.

nevermind the retarded scene of a man supposedly flying a Harrier in the middle of a city, with 1 ******* arm while trying to save his (somehow found) daughter while avoiding getting shot by a guy with an AK -47- you know the kind of weapon that actually can **** up the controls and electronics of a $50 million dollar aircraft.

Instead our sneaky terrorist turns into a keystone kops terrorist who cant even pull the trigger whithout screwing it up...

Such a waste of a movie....
 
The Comfort of Strangers. Rupert Everet, Natasha Richardson and Christopher Walken.

A very strange, disturbing movie.

"My father was a big man. He had a big black moosetache..." If you have seen it, you know what I mean. Horrible ending.
 
Brazil...I mean come on! We're shown a brilliantly-conceived future dystopia, and the movie ends with the hero somehow rescuing the girl (who all of a sudden loves him) and driving off to paradise?

Come on!
 
Same theme as TaylorTRoom's choice, and so many others: LA Confidential. Absolutely brilliant groundbreaking movie, ruined (for me) in the last 10 seconds with the hero alive and well in the back seat.
 
War of the Worlds was the first movie that came to my mind as well. I enjoyed it up until the point where they had the happy family reunion in Boston. Hated that ending.
 
Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Apparently after the writers wrote in the part where the Smiths are surrounded by a battalion of soldiers, they realized they were totally out of options to have them escape alive. So did they change the scene so as to not have them impossibly surrounded? No, they just had them miraculous survive about a thousand bullets fired in a small space, with absolutely no explanation as to where they got what had to have been either Matrix-type dodging skills or else a Star Wars-quality energy shield.
 
Put me down for The Birds as well, especially considering the alternate ending that was supposed to have the protaganists drive to San Francisco only to find the Golden Gate Bridge coverd by birds.

The released ending is incredibly anticlimactic.
 
What happened in the director's cut of Hostel?

Put me down for War of the Worlds. Absulutely terrible. It is so bad that you almost have to say that reasonable minds cannot disagree as to whether it is the worst movie ending ever.
 
Hostel - Director's Cut Ending...

****Spoiler Alert****







At the train station, the psycho doctor gets off the train and is greeted by his young daughter (referenced earlier in the movie when he is sitting with the gents in the train cabin and shows them her picture). Fingerless dude follows him/daughter to the bathroom, at which point crazy doc sends her into the girls' room and the looney surgeon goes to the mens' room. Digitally impaired guy follows daughter into girls' bathroom. When nutsy exits the mens room, he waits for his daugter to come out...and waits...and waits...and guess what, she doesn't come out. He goes into the bathroom to find her, but alas - only finds her stuffed doll and rushes out of the bathroom in horror. Scene cuts to no-thumb Harry and cuckoo man's daughter sitting inside a train to god-knows-where with him covering the girl's mouth while she screams to no avail and one-pancake short of a shortstack guy searches for his daughter at the depot as the train leaves the station.

Faid to black...roll credits....crap. crap. crap-crap-crap.

Almost as good as the theatrical ending whereby he follows the dude into the bathroom, slices of his fingers as a souvenier, sticks his head in the toilet and just as he is almost expired, lifts his head out of the toilet and slits his wrist. Almost.

Dude, that kind of **** happens every day in Miami.

My worst one is CE3K, director's cut. Spielberg put back in all the crap that wiser people at the studio made him take out of the ending. Theatrical release, Dreyfus walks into the light and gets his dream fulfilled and the door closes and the ship drifts away getting smaller and smaller to When You Wish Upon A Star. Dead Solid Perfect, I cried it was sooo good. Dvd comes out with the "director's cut", and the ENDING IS TOTALLY ****** UP!!! Dreyfus goes in and we see some goofy *** aliens and some gauzy curtains and other lame *** **** and the whole thing is ruined. I barfed. Sometimes the studio is right. Thank goodness that CE3K has been released in a box set with the theatrical version in the set.

Oh and Thelma and Louise ending sucked [an unpleasant thing]. Driving the car off of a cliff? WTF is up with that? Stupid stupid stupid and not in a good way.
