Are they mutually exclusive? I'm going to go ahead and say A Serious Man. I have no idea what that ending was supposed to tell me. | ||

American Psycho. I read Gattaca up stairs, not sure if that fits the bill... It satisfied me totally in the end, I didn't have any questions left... Vincent got his dream, Eugene finds atonement thru sacrificing himself to give Vincent his identify fully.. Going to space is just a simple setting in that film, it could have been ice-cream making for all I cared; what mattered was Vincent achieiving his dream by his blood, sweat and tears. On the other hand if it had cut off after, say, Uma Thurman finds out about Vincent's inferior genetics.. Then that woulda been, one, pretty pointless, and two, actually answerless lol. | ||

It's up to individual interpretation to determine your own ending in a way, which is a great way to keep the reader (since it's based on a book) or moviegoer entertained even after the movie/book is over. I found it to be a terrible memento cover that diverged from the book enough to make the movie look like an unoriginal idea to give DiCaprio some light and left without an ending to let hipsters feel like their way of seeing it was the only and best way possible. | ||

I heard stories where some people in the cinema yelled "What? That's fucking it?" at the ending. Haha. When I was watching Tomorrow When the War Began, the people in the cinema had a similar reaction. Darker than Black is an anime but its ending left a few things unanswered. | ||

Best show ever if you've never watched it. Just be prepared to get the worst cliff hanger ever! | ||

+ Show Spoiler + Holy fuckin shit, I loved that series in the beginning, in the last season I got kind of suspicious because still nothing was answered, just more questions and cliffhangers. I was starting to think how the fuck they were gonna answer everything in the last episode and then THEY DID NOTHING! GOD! All just crappy religious stuff and relations and relations and characters. WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT FUCKING ISLAND? I've come to hate Lost with a passion, I regret every single minute I spent watching it. | ||

Best show ever if you've never watched it. Just be prepared to get the worst cliff hanger ever! They released a graphic novel based on Sheperds life before joining the Firefly in the pilot. It did an ok job, however some would argue it still created some flaw in the continuity. | ||

The first part of the film is supposed to be Betty's (the younger actress) dream. In her dream everything is perfect - she is an aspiring actress, her lover is helpless and dependant on her etc. In the last 30-40 minutes, you are shown what really happened. Betty did not do well in the audition, Rita left her for the director etc. This ultimately leads to Betty hiring a hitman (the guy in the bar) to kill Rita. However, Betty not being able to live with the guilt decides to kill herself in the end. | ||

Best show ever if you've never watched it. Just be prepared to get the worst cliff hanger ever! As far as I know the show got canceled. So the whole Sheperd thing wasn't intentionally let open. They just didn't get the chance to finish it. While Firefly as a series overall did get some kind of ending with the movie "Serenity". Being a slow nerd myself, I watched the movie first (never saw the series) with friends 'cause it should be cool. I was like "right.. whatever". But a couple of years after seeing the movie I got hold of the series. Watched that in like one and a half day or something, and then re watched the movie. Although the ending of the series sucked, the movie made a whole lot of more "impact" to me than it did before. Some of the mentioned movies in this thread come to mind, such as "The Thing". Another movie that comes to mind in that way is "Screamers". The Predator and Alien movies always kept me craving for sequels to find out more about that universe, but the more came out, the more I became disappointed it seemed. And that sums up my feelings towards open ending maybe: if it's done well (which is of course entirely subjective) it's good. You crave for more, always speculating of how it would've been. An open hint towards a sequel that never comes out, like "Deep Rising" in the end, feels really shit. For me anyway. | ||

Next is a terrible, terrible movie where they have taken a brilliant and deep book by Philip K. Dick titled The Golden Man and butchered it completely, leaving the entire point and reflection out. | ||

Once upon a time in america mulholland dr (there probably is an ending here but i couldnt really follow it) I probably like movies where the ending is not clear more than movies that try to explain everything | ||
