Films with the worst endings

[springisnotspringing]

Just watched Leave the World Behind. When it ended I was like, what?! Is that it? It was like it ended halfway through, but no, that really was the end!

Anyone else disappointed with any other film ending where you were like, eh?

Marley & Me. It's banned in this house now!

La La Land. The most joyous, uplifting film - until the end. I don’t care if relationships often fail in RL, I wanted a happy ending in keeping with the rest of the happiness and lightness in the film. Makes me irrationally cross and I huffily refuse to watch it now.

Time Bandits; the young lad is just left stood alone after his mum and dad have been zapped off to god knows where. Hated it!

Oh I like a good and disturbing ending sometimes. It's very Terry Gilliam.

Grease.

Change absolutely everything about yourself to suit a man - then you'll get him

The Mist. God almighty, that wrecked me.

I also came to say Gone Girl. I read the book first and enjoyed the story, which the film is true to, but the ending is ridiculous and infuriating.
The awful spider/monster at the end of the original IT film ruined it for me.

Barbie.

The awful spider/monster at the end of the original IT film ruined it for me.

Stephen King was ribbed so much abut rubbish endings this idea comes into play in the new IT films where the Bill character (which is Stephen King's substitute in the story) is also taking some flack for rubbish endings to his horror books

I cried buckets. Can't watch it again.

It was a happy ending, though -- she got to be a famous actress with a nice husband and child, and rid herself of the gloomy jazz obsessive with the weird dress sense...?

Nope, not the ending it should have been.

Making a list of films I will never watch!

The Mist
It
Barbie
Leave The World Behind
Enemy

Glass Onion (sequel to Knives Out). The first half builds the tension and mystery beautifully. The second half pisses it away and makes no sense.

I agree with La La Land. It was so annoying ending it like that.

I love the ending of Barbie though! I haven't seen the rest mentioned and won't be now

The whole of La La land annoyed me, because Emma Stone can't sing and neither of them can dance. So many talented actors in Hollywood could have done better.

Oh come on, he'd have been awful to be married to!

The Invitation. Could have turned into a vampire and with all that money and resources, become a vigilante like batman and rid the world of murderers and rapists... Also be married to Thomas Doherty.

But no. Generic ending. Vampires bad. Boo.

@NewWater Not at all! Her husband came across as boring and bland - no wonder the film showed what could have been and how happy she seemed.

Oh, was that the American version of the original Dutch version?
Where they said " We don't drink carfee anymore", with a cheesy grin and sidelong glance?
Couldn't agree more.

Edward Scissorhands

That one with poets and Robin Williams... The Dead Poets' Society?

Ian Wright (think it was him) said this on ‘Room 101’; it sets a terrible example to girls. I have watched it, under duress as I can’t stand JT, but refuse to now.

Yes! This makes me irrationally mad everytime I think about it and was my first thought when I read the post title 😆

I had a brain fart and made another thread about this, in case anyone is interested:

Broken Flowers, Jim Jarmusch film starring Bill Murray. Plot meanders then film just … stops. No resolution of any kind (middle aged bloke trying to find out if a former girlfriend had a baby). Who knows? (Who cares) ?
