The Last Crusade.

Indy, His father, Sallah and the old English guy ride off into the sunset. (This was also the best ending mentioned by Speilburg, which is why he didn't want to do another film.)

I'm not a Star Wars fanatic but I do agree it's a good ending to the series. I hate the idea that they're doing another trilogy. The six movies were good enough in telling the basic story of the fall of the Republic and the war to restore it.

Just saw "The Face of Love" with Annette Benning and Ed Harris and it was amazing. Don't want to give anything away but the ending is incredibly powerful.

[SPOILER ALERT!! !]

Insidious 2 because the charaters all go back to normal in the end. I felt satisfied that there was a happy ending for the family that had been haunted.

Lars Von Trier's Dogville.

It's an absolutely appalling conclusion, and yet the director builds up your hate for those characters so much that you cannot help but cheer about what happens to them.
