I know.  But what can I do, I just love movies (and the current state of the western movie industry gives me headaches).


Independant movies is where it's at, mostly, these days. 

The western movie industry is overall extremely formulaic now and lacks ambition and inspiration. Everything is made according to a formula and the movies are in turn very predictable. It's an industry that has fewer and fewer visionaries. That being said, just like with gaming, the visual aspects/technical side of the productions are really top notch now. But if you want to find a movie with a soul and heart, you'll be searching for quite a bit before finding anything.

Not only independant movies but also movies with smaller types of budgets.  There have been plenty of movies I liked recently and not all of them been independant.  But I think that two of them 12 Years A Slave and Fruitvale Station can probably be described as independant even though 12 Years A Slave was distributed and published by one of the major studios in North America (20 Century Fox) and actually had a decent size budget $22 million.

If we define the ending to a movie as the last scene or two before the credits roll, then here are 4 picks of mine of great movies with shocking, unforgettable endings.

1. Angel Heart

2. Pan's Labyrinth

3. Shattered (1991 w/ Tom Berenger)

4. Planet of the Apes (Heston)

Ha ha ha. Basically just type "Entire movie industry/history" and be done with it. =P

No. These are just the movies from my DVD collection with great endings. Even my collection of around 900 movies is just a tiny fraction of the entire movie history. My list also shows that you can count today's movies with great endings on one hand.

DVD?  What's that?
