Some of my favourites:
- 12 Monkeys for being both poignant and ingenious
- Cloverfield, for the poetic coda and the way it contrasts with the final chronological moments.
- Thelma & Louise, for taking something that could've been purely depressing and somehow turning it into a final joyous blaze of glory.
- Schindler's List. Reinforcing the reality of the film's events through real people makes it all the more moving.
- The Arrival, for the way it all comes together for an unforgettable closure.
