Which movies have the best endings?

“So, what are you going to do with your life?”

The story, and it’s a simple story, is about a 22 year old named Ben (Dustin Hoffman) that returns home after college, not knowing where his future is headed, and wanting to avoid that dreaded question: “So, what are you going to do with your life?”

Ben is never able to truly avoid that nagging “injury” or “question” that he had been running away from since the very beginning.

Everyone says the pet population is out of control. Everyone says you MUST spay or neuter your pets. No one wants to talk about how its almost $1,000 to spay or neuter a pet. Why is it so expensive if its so necessary? Animal shelters do it for free.

Ben has an affair with Mrs. Robinson (Anne Bancroft), a sexy but lonely next door neighbor. After the tyrst is over, he begins to fall for her daughter, Elaine, played by actress Katharine Ross.

The way Elaine and Ben look at one another after finally calling the shots is impossibly great. Reality sets in for Elaine first, as evidenced by her putting her head down, that they still don’t have a clue or a plan. Ben smiles, and finally succumbs to the same fate as Elaine, with that blank stare on his face.

After Ben interrupts the wedding between Elaine and a young suitor named Carl, the two board a bus together, and head off into the unknown.

What is the difference between Michael Corleone’s marriage to Apollonia Vitelli and Kay Adams?

This entire movie from front to back and from back to front, explores the themes of bucking authority and challenging norms and what’s “expected of you.” This was a late 60s flick, so it fit in perfectly with the mood of the time.

Pardon me if I don't take you very seriously if you don’t have The Graduate (1967) on your list of the greatest movies AND endings…ever.
