There's nothing quite as frustrating as a bad movie ending. Failure to stick that landing in the final act can totally ruin an otherwise great film, or give us one more reason to hate one that was already a dud. Here's a look at some of the most annoying movie endings in recent memory. And it should go without saying, but spoilers ahead

Love Story. Because only one of them died. 8<)
For me, “Inception” comes to mind.
Joe was one of my all time favorite endings. I thought the ending to Dirty Mary and Crazy Larry was good too - unlike the rest of the movie.
After the end of The Sopranos, its fans were saying not only “WTF” but many other expletives, too numerous to elucidate.
Dave Barry explained that one years ago. Like everyone else in the galaxy, they had to run Windows, and they came to Earth to kill Bill Gates.
It was worthwhile eye candy in 3D Imax. Pocohantus never looked better.
What? You didn't see the entertainment value of Peter Fonda mugging for the camera and grunting for two hours.
None of them bothered me. I didn’t watch any.
(Game over. Lock the thread.)
Oh, wait a minute ... the sinking of the "Titanic" really happened?
:-P
The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951), where Klaatu announces to the assembled scientists that the nations of Earth must learn to be peaceable, or else a peaceable interplanetary organization will kill every living creature on Earth and destroy the planet.
Yea, then ending of those first two sucked. Can’t remember Dirty Mary and Crazy Larry. And when ET came back to life after being dead for no apparent reason sucked. A better ending would have ET going into a sort of hibernation and he fellow aliens retrieving him in front of the humans who were suddenly paralyzed and unable to do anything but watch.
Lol.
Do we agree that Breaking Bad was the best ending of a multi season series of all time?
Yep, Dr. Zhivago. Could have ended better. My favorite movie ever.
The Mist
Yeah, the short story ended in a way where there was hope. The movie? Oh, hell no.
I think they left that one open ended on purpose so they could pick it back up after the actors realized they could never have that kind of success in anything else. Then Gandolfini went and died and killed all hope.
The only part that was pretty funny was the pickup at the beginning of the movie that had a bumper sticker that said, “would the last one leaving Seattle please turn out the lights?”
I lived in Seattle during those really bad days for Boeing. Its funny within the context of 2017, Amazon, Microsoft, Starbucks, etc.
Absolutely.
The phone lines are now closed, folks. We have received today's winner.
