Ambiguous Film Endings Resolved (VIDEO)

Yes, yes, film is an art form and ambiguous endings always seem really deep, but they are also incredibly annoying. Did Mickey Rourke die at the end of the "Wrestler"? What did Bill Murray say to Scarlett Johansson at the end of "Lost in Translation"? Well now all these questions and more have been answered by College Humor. They've made a few adjustments to four films (and one TV show) so that you don't have to stew in your disappointment.

I like this alternatives endings, parodies are so funny.

I am not trying to spam, but I would like to share this site: http://www.theparodynetwork.com is about celebrities parodies too.

What about the endings to "Blazzing Saddles", "Young Frankenstein", and "Monty Python and the Holy Grail"?

I can think of two TV series that SHOULD have been included, Frasier and Quantum Leap. Does Frasier find love, enjoy his new job? And I'm stilled upset with the way the creators ended Quantum Leap....Sam NEVER goes home?!?!

To everyone who somehow thought this was actually about clearing up ambiguous endings, and is now miffed:

It's in the "Comedy" section.

Other suggestions:

Godfather: Kay just opens the door again and goes back to ask Michael about his business, he spills all, they kiss and make up.

Seven: Brad Pitt meets a nice female officer while being escorted to jail, she cheers him up and makes him forget about Gwyneths sewered head. Cue homevideo-montage of them getting married on his first day on probation, kids playing in a backyard, etc., while the credits roll.

Usual Suspects: Kevin Spacey gets pulled over for speeding immediately after leaving the police station, and gets arrested on the spot. Reacts by saying "Gosh darn it!"

Nothing at all ambiguous about the Movie of the Week... Lou Dobbs gets a show on Fox and... well you gotta stay tuned

Oh this sucks I actually thought I would get the answers to some of these ambiguous film endings. Only to see College Humour involved. touche

At the end of Officer and a Gentleman, what happens next? Do they get married? Do they have another big fight and he bust her face with one of those Karate kicks? Does he steal a jet and sell it to the Russians?

He runs away with a gerbil leaving her in town to wait for Maverick and Goose.

Close Encounters: Richard Dreyfuss' kids never get over being abandoned by their dad and become meth addicts.

The Natural: Roy Hobbs hits the showers where his stomach explodes and he dies in a pile of blood and guts.

Fight Club: Tyler Durden spends the rest of his life in Guantanamo for his terrorist attack on New York.

The Princess Bride: Only 99% of Wesley's body recovers from paralysis (use your imagination). One day he catches Buttercup in a three-way with Inigo and the giant.

Field of Dreams: Thousands of people arrive at the ballpark. There is no food, lodging or bathrooms. All they see is some guy playing catch with his dad. They go home. Ray loses the farm.

Being There: Chauncey falls in the water and drowns.

You clearly haven't actually read the Princess Bride. The full ending of the story is in there.

Your point? I'm commenting on an article about FILM endings, not book endings. A film can have a different ending than a book. (SPOILERS: Ian Malcolm dies in Jurassic Park; Hooper dies in Jaws; The Overlook Hotel blows up in The Shining.)

Apparently the Princess Bride already has a different ending, and you're flaming me for suggesting a third ending. Nice.

The one I go back and forth on is the ending of Mystic River- film version. Is Kevin Bacon saying "I know what you did and I will get you in the end" or is he saying "We still keep each other's secrets" or is he saying "I know what you did and I share in the complicity". Every time I watch it I think something else. And yes I have read the book - however I think the film stands on its own for the ending is Clint's not Lehane's. Regardless, I think its an amazing film.

Not remotely funny.

Maybe Thelma and Louise could wake up in Mexico...by the sea.

The ending of "Popeye" with Robin Williams! Wasn't he supposed to die or morph into Gandhi or a gay designer or Ernest Angley?

That is how I wanted Lost In Translation to end, one of my favorite films.

I would rather preferred a real discussion about these movie's endings.
