So many people saying ‘no spoilers please’ when talking about films or shows that are years old. It’s infuriating. So here goes ….

The titanic sank
Bruce Willis is dead
Rhett Butler left and didn’t give a damn
Kat is her mum
Rachel was hit by a car
he was always on earth, they blew it up
he dug a tunnel over 30 years

She got off the plane
Jesse buys his parents house

Howmanycatsistoomany · 30/09/2026 10:33

Romeo and Juliet both die.

Which came as a total shock to my best mate when we were at the cinema watching the version with Leo DiCaprio 😂

Derek dies
Mark dies
Lexi dies
Calli acts as if she was the only one that died, despite not even being on the plane
It was Izzy who cut the LVAD wire

Also, Sam Beckett never returned home

I'm still mad at that ending. Crappiest ending EVER.

The mum (Nicole Kidman) and both children are dead

Ooh that's a good one; 'we're not dead, we're not dead!!!'

Itsasecretnow · 30/09/2026 13:36

Meg Ryan dies right after Nicholas Cage falls to earth for her.

Itsasecretnow · 30/09/2026 13:42

Also, they couldn’t put Humpty together again.

Is this Lost? I never watched it.

Yes, Zoe grew up believing Kat was older sister, but she was her mum. Back in the day when everyone watched.

Blimey. I thought DH was bad not realising someone would die at the end of West Side Story, despite me telling him it was based on Romeo and Juliet. Though tbf I’d forgotten that Maria didn’t die.

I can beat you. DP took me to see Six for my birthday.
Said to me afterwards "I didn't realise it'd be a musical!"

Dr who saves thhe day
James bond saves the day
Indiana Jones saves the day
Jack Reacher saves the day

If Indiana Jones hadn't got involved with the Lost Ark the ending would have been the same. The Nazis find it, open it, and are killed. Indi could've stayed home.

Ooh that reminds me of another spoiler...

She's my sister/She's my daughter!

And Lost was a bloody pointless waste of time

Lost us hands down the worst thing that has ever been on TV.

Autumnalbride · 30/09/2026 21:25

There is absolutely no resolution and then he's a lumberjack for some reason

AllaMova · 30/09/2026 21:27

Marguerite Gautier dies at the end
George Bailey survives

(You said old!)

AnAlpacaForChristmasPleaseSanta · 30/09/2026 21:30

Don't tell anyone but Verbal Kint is actually Keyser Söze.

TwoLeftSocksWithHoles · 30/09/2026 21:34

The old lady DID swallow a fly.
(although I don't know why).
