10 Movies with a Good Ending

Hundreds of movies are released into the movie box office each year. Millions of moviegoers visit movie theaters to watch their favorite movies. With super blockbuster movies The Avengers and The Dark Knight Rises collecting massive ticket sales, the upcoming The Twilight Saga: Break Dawn Part II will rank 2012 as one of the most lucrative box office movie years ever. Of these movies, how many past and present movies have a good ending?

The Dark Knight Rises is making ending news. Christopher Nolan's final installment in the third and final Batman movie features a busy ending with twists, surprises, tricks, and clues. Nolan signed on with Warner Bros. to make Batman Begins, The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises movies. In the latest Batman movie, comic book, superhero, and Batman fans are searching all across the web to discuss The Dark Knight Rises ending. The TDKR ending is a hot topic.

Do you think the Batman film has a good ending? Should The Dark Knight Rises make it on a list of movies with a good ending? There is confusion about how does the movie end. Are there multiple movie endings? A few twist endings, surprise ending and a cliffhanger? The final The Dark Knight Rises movie has a good ending. We like the movie ending enough to place it on a list of the best movies with a good ending.

The ending is extremely important. Moviegoers possess the word of mouth influence to impact the movie box office. This past January 2012, The Devil inside movie delivered one of the highest grossing January openings, collecting $34.5 million in ticket sales. However, the bad ending impacted its remaining box office run.

In the weeks to come, the exorcist movie collected less than $20 million to finish at around $54 million. Whereas The Devil Inside movie is successful in terms of production budget ($1 million) to box office estimates of $54 million, the possession movie demonstrates that a good ending can increase ticket sales.

Movies with a good ending create buzz. Moviegoers enjoy a movie that has a good ending. We like those happy endings that compliment the movie premise. The inciting incident, the turning point and the resolution should link together to resolve the conflict or at least confront the movie questions. Twist endings explain the movie to viewers left in the dark (no pun intended) at movie screenings.

We compiled a short list of movies with a good ending. The movies may not have the best endings ever, but they are quality movies that have a good ending to explain the plot.

The following 10 movies have a good ending:
  1. The Sixth Sense
  2. The Usual Suspects
  3. Batman Begins, The Dark Knight & The Dark Knight Rises ( together as a trilogy)
  4. Seven
  5. Gladiator
  6. The Orphan
  7. Titanic
  8. 16 Candles
  9. Fight Club
  10. Psycho
