The Substance. I watched the last 20 minutes or so with my mouth wide open.

Oh I know. I think the makers of the film were trying to see just how outrageous & grotesque they could make it. My friend told me not to watch it. I did & said I liked it. She said "wtf is wrong with you?!" 🤣

The Great Escape.

Mind you my first thought was Four Weddings as that shite "is it raining?" line is probably the worst line ever and therefore stays in my mind when you think of movie endings.

Absolutely outstanding.

Oh God, and this. I cried my eyes out.

Already mentioned but The Mist. Absolutely devastating. Interestingly, the Stephen King novella that it's based on doesn't end on such a bleak note!

SPOILER

Pride. Every time I read the caption about Mark Ashton's death, "He was 26 years old" I just sob like a baby. Great film.

I havenot seen Shutter Island because when I read the book when it was first released, before the movie was made, the ending was obvious from about a quarter of the way through.

Presumably the movie did it better or DiCaprio handled it skillfully.

I recently bought the book but haven't started it yet. I have seen the film though and no, I absolutely didn't see it coming! So for once I'm glad I didn't read the book first.
