2. The Graduate (1967)

Embassy Pictures

"It totally nails this category! The two of them on that bus staring blankly out into space as 'The Sound of Silence' plays...I get chills every time."

—abbeyrhodes

3. Life (2017)

Sony Pictures Releasing

"I'm not even sure if many people saw this — but that ENDING! Basically, you think that Jake Gyllenhaal's character is the one whose ship is hurdling into space with the creature and everything will be fine, only to find out that the ship that was hurdling wildly out of control into space was the OTHER character that was supposed to be heading home to Earth, and the creature and Jake Gyllenhaal are heading toward Earth!"

4. Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri (2017)

Fox Searchlight Pictures

"That ending stuck with me. There was no closure — and I guess that was the point — but I was just not expecting it to end like that. I don't think a single character didn't have their life completely messed up by the end."

—lollylaurenpop

5. The Butterfly Effect (2004)

New Line Cinema

"Ashton Kutcher changes the past one more time to ensure Amy Smart's character chooses her mom — ultimately saving her life. Then, in the fast forward, you see them walking past each other as strangers. It's so heartbreaking knowing that he sacrificed being with her so that she could lead a happier life."

6. The Others (2001)

Dimension Films

"Come on! That's a masterpiece!"

—knr8269

—glimmerr

10. The Ring (2002)

DreamWorks Pictures

"This ending for sure belongs on this list!"

—peoplermean

—allierowling

12. The Descent (2006)

Pathé Distribution

—kristoffab

13. La La Land (2016)

Lionsgate

"I usually prefer happy endings, but this ending — wow. It was amazing and heartbreaking, but it also showed how love doesn't always work out, and sometimes we have to sacrifice our love for our dreams."

—sparksfly89

14. Into the Wild (2007)

Paramount Vantage

"It's the saddest and most beautiful ending at the same time. I couldn’t stop crying and remained obsessed with this story for weeks!"

—j4549e6b2b

—klynn214

18. Insidious (2010)

FilmDistrict

"We have to give a shout out to the ending of this one because I find it truly chilling, even knowing there's a sequel that immediately resolves everything!"

—oldsoulphoenix

19. Brazil (1985)

Universal Pictures

—pickers

20. Donnie Darko (2001)

Pandora Cinema

"That movie is wild from start to finish, and the ending is honestly so beautifully heartbreaking!"

—elexisgrace

21. Requiem for a Dream (2000)

Artisan Entertainment

"It's a great ending, but it fucked me right the hell up for weeks."

—fredzesty

22. And finally — Casablanca (1942)

Warner Bros.

"This is debatable as to whether it's happy or not, but I love how they built it up and you thought you knew the ending — then they flipped it. The first time I watched it I was heartbroken, but the older I’ve gotten, the more I’ve come to understand that was the only ending possible. It’s still such a beautiful and heart-wrenching movie."
