[staywhatyouare9]

OMG LIkE bEst movie everrrrrrrr........zach braff is soooo hot......go InDIE!!!!

[3mpire]

Elliott Smith's cover of Because at the end of American Beauty.

[walshknilb281]

the pixies at the end of fight club

[Kif]

OMG LIkE bEst movie everrrrrrrr........zach braff is soooo hot......go InDIE!!!!
Hahaha this.

[radiofriendly]

the first one to come to my mind was the Moby song at the end of the Jason Bourne movies. so slick and perfect fit for the series

[staywhatyouare9]

the pixies at the end of fight club


wow, yeah..so good

[Kif]

the first one to come to my mind was the Moby song at the end of the Jason Bourne movies. so slick and perfect fit for the series
Oh damn forgot about this. It's so perfect when Bourne starts swimming away in Ultimatum and the song picks up.

[heyozzie]

the pixies at the end of fight club

that is the only correct answer

[lilRIPsta]

Stereophonics - Maybe Tommorow at the end of Crash. coincidently its also the best opening song too when is plays at the beginning of Wicker Park. its a fact

[popdisaster00]

Okay...

Coldplay - the scientist at the end of Wicker Park.

I am NOT saying it was a great movie and I am NOT saying it's the best song ever.

But it was epic.

[heyozzie]

Okay...

Coldplay - the scientist at the end of Wicker Park.

I am NOT saying it was a great movie and I am NOT saying it's the best song ever.

But it was epic.

i actually really liked that movie. and forgot about that ending. it was pretty epic.

[Evolution Kid]

the first one to come to my mind was the Moby song at the end of the Jason Bourne movies. so slick and perfect fit for the series

Same for me. That is really the only ending/music combo that readily comes to mind.

[Smash Adams]

since someone already mentioned fight club Wake Up at the end of the matrix

[WordzandDreamz]

I really got quite emotional when Soul Asylum's "Misery" came on at the end of Clerks II. I thought it was perfect.

[popdisaster00]

i actually really liked that movie. and forgot about that ending. it was pretty epic.
I liked it too, but I'm also not a picky critic. I'm just going to assume that a lot of people here wouldn't have liked it.

I thought it worked awesome for the ending. It was so heavy and powerful.

[Trainsaw]

came in here to echo the Pixies at the end of Flight Club, actually gives me chills when I hear it

[radiofriendly]

Okay...

Coldplay - the scientist at the end of Wicker Park.

I am NOT saying it was a great movie and I am NOT saying it's the best song ever.

But it was epic.

very touching ending to a very bad movie

[SockMonkeyRiot]

Sigur Ros - "Njósnavélin" at the end of Vanilla Sky

[BrokenMirror]

allow me to be boring and predictable and say Exit Music (For A Film) from Romeo and Juliet

[BlisterMaggot]

the pixies at the end of fight club

that is definitely the best. rage against the machine in The Matrix was also one that i really liked a lot.

[ihatecayte]

"bittersweet symphony" at the end of cruel intentions. it was the perfect fit.

[Vincewithouthee]

Everyone pretty much said the best one's off the top of my head but my favorite's have to be the Bourne movies' and Stop Crying Your Heart Out by Oasis in The Butterfly Effect. TBE may not be the best movie in the world, I know a ton of people hate it. But I loved the way they closed the movie with that song.

I wanna add onto a TV series. Six Feet Under ended perfectly in my eyes, mostly because of the song it ended with. Song is Breathe Me by Sia. Again not the best, but it was perfect for that ending. Unreal moment.

[screamoutmyname]

The Pixies - Where Is My Mind?

Fight Club

[Colorblind!]

The nu-metal song that ended Ghost Ship!

[Handy Man]

street fightin man - Rolling Stones - v for vendetta

[diehtc0ke]

The song that ends Juno. Perfect.

[airik625]

Yes it is. Can't describe it better than simply "perfect."

[vwcorrado17]

we're all dudes- less than jake from good burger

[Jessooker]

You're My Best Friend by Queen at the end of Shaun of the Dead came to mind.

[iaminsane20]

So many, I personally enjoy Mad World by Gary Jules at the end of Donnie Darko. That's just the first one that popped in my head.
i dont think there could have been a better song to end that movie.

[iaminsane20]

Wish You Were Here by Pink Flyod-Lords of Dogtown.

THe song at the end of Pulp Fiction... I forget what its called.

[irthesteve]

the pixies at the end of fight club

[AsItFallsApart]

umm, hello? "don't you forget about me" at the end of the breakfast club?

that was gonna be my vote

then i'm gonna throw out This Modern Love wrapping up the first season of HIMYM although its TV, thats actually how i got so hooked on Bloc Party (late pass there)

[shinedown114]

the first one to come to my mind was the Moby song at the end of the Jason Bourne movies. so slick and perfect fit for the series

FTW!

[radiofriendly]

Haha, I'm a huge Napolean Dynamite fan, and I thought When In Rome's Promise was a sweet ending

Another is Always Look On the Bright Side of Life from Life of Brian.

[thehawks]

By far my favorite...

Moby-God Moving Over the Face...

The end of Heat when Pacino is holding DeNiro's hand.

Brings a tear to the eye EVERY time.

[TJ Wells]

"I Believe (When I Fall in Love It Will Be Forever)" by Stevie Wonder at the end of High Fidelity.

[bhs1158]

I really got quite emotional when Soul Asylum's "Misery" came on at the end of Clerks II. I thought it was perfect.

I was going to say the same thing, even though I enjoyed Clerks way more than Clerks II. Great way to end the movie.

[alice+interiors]

I don't even particularly like the song,
but Gary Jules 'Mad World' sounds great at the end of Donnie Darko.

[radiofriendly]

By far my favorite...

Moby-God Moving Over the Face...

The end of Heat when Pacino is holding DeNiro's hand.

Brings a tear to the eye EVERY time.

holy shit, good one! i completely forgot about that one. so good. he says 'i told you i wasn't goin back'. gives me chills.

[williek311]

"bittersweet symphony" at the end of cruel intentions. it was the perfect fit.

So many, I personally enjoy Mad World by Gary Jules at the end of Donnie Darko. That's just the first one that popped in my head.

:appl:

[shes.a.ghost]

"bittersweet symphony" at the end of cruel intentions. it was the perfect fit.
correct

[DaniMoo]

So many, I personally enjoy Mad World by Gary Jules at the end of Donnie Darko. That's just the first one that popped in my head.


Agreed. Mad World was the perfect ending to that movie.

[DeathCabForCoon]

wow, so many good ones already. Recently is the piece "ROAR" by Michael Giacchino at the end of Cloverfield, they finally put it on Itunes yesterday.

[oranjeman]

The song from Garden State is Let Go by Frou Frou, and it is a perfect fit.

My other faves are:
Extreme Ways - Moby - Bourne
Anyone Else But You - The Moldy Peaches (sung by ellen page & michael cera) - Juno
How it Ends - Devotchka - Little Miss Sunshine
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind theme is amazing as well

Let Go and Extreme Ways are def. my favorite though.

And the lyrics to Bittersweet Symphony don't fit Cruel Intentions that well IMO, but it's such an amazing song i dont mind much.

[andrewshungry]

"free bird" at the end of the devils rejects

pretty sick and terrible movie, but the end was so awesome

[Drew Beringer]

that was gonna be my vote

then i'm gonna throw out This Modern Love wrapping up the first season of HIMYM although its TV, thats actually how i got so hooked on Bloc Party (late pass there)
yes, that ending on HIMYM is GREAT.

[jonny4star]

i forgot about wicker park and juno, i like the end songs to those as well

[hienz429]

born slippy by underworld in trainspotting

[airik625]

I think "Where is my Mind" by the Pixies ends Fight Club perfectly.

[Jessooker]

I liked "Everybody's Gotta Learn Sometimes" by Beck at the end of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

[thecobrakais]

chemical brothers "where do i begin?" from vanilla sky.

annie lennox "into the west" from return of the king

steve buscemi "true" the wedding singer :rotfl:

[thecobrakais]

Sigur Ros - "Njósnavélin" at the end of Vanilla Sky

a thousand times yes. but not "really" the end of the movie.

very close though. i wanted to add this one to mine too.

:clap:

[ColourandShape]

Eddie Vedder's cover of 'love reign over me' at the end of reign over me. fits so well

[jawstheme]

Besides 'where is my mind' in Fight Club which is an obvious win, 'exit music for a film' at the end of Romeo and Juliet.

[fightfightfight]

the Underworld song at the end of Sunshine
theme at the end of Terminator 2

[Post-me]

That song at the end of the SAW series. I don't know what it's called it's kinda classical music.

[ascitiesburn101]

the pixies - where is my mind. i'm assuming everyone knows the movie.

also, tonight i'm gunna rock you tonight from this is spinal tap

[alcoholandirony]

lux aeterna during the final scene of requiem for a dream. heartbreaking and haunting.

[TakeLotsWithAlcohol]

Fight Club, pixies, same answer everyone else is giving.

It's fucking chilling.

[MyNameIsRoss]

Age of Aquarius

/thread

Agreed.

[singthblues]

I don't see how you can go wrong with Miss Misery by Elliott Smith at the end of Good Will Hunting.

[nonamesleft]

Bolero in Moulin Rouge

[Rockybehri]

allow me to be boring and predictable and say Exit Music (For A Film) from Romeo and Juliet

noooo doubt.

[bouttogetfancy]

I liked Sondre Lerche at the end of dan in real life.

[gilted]

the first one to come to my mind was the Moby song at the end of the Jason Bourne movies. so slick and perfect fit for the series

I came in to say just that. Great ending to all three movies.

[fantasma]

Okay let's see here...

Oh Lala- Rushmore
Extreme Ways- Bourne Trilogy
Queen Bitch- The Life Aquatic
Where's My Had- Fight Club
You've Got A Friend In Me- Toy Story
THe song at the end of Pulp Fiction... I forget what its called.

I was going to say that

[kellllla]

Where Is My Mind and Mad World were the first ones I thought of.
But I thought the ending to Gran Torino was good, Gran Torino haha.

and even though this song wasn't at the end of the movie, it's inspired by it.
How I Go - yellowcard, for Big Fish.

[Wake Up]

Bibo No Aozora - Babel

[Full Effect Ed]

I wouldn't label it "the best" or anything but a personal favorite of mine is "Kiss Me Deadly" by Generation X at the end of SLC Punk

[Full Effect Ed]

umm, hello? "don't you forget about me" at the end of the breakfast club?

THIS is what I'd personally say is "the best"

[Two Headed Girl]

allow me to be boring and predictable and say Exit Music (For A Film) from Romeo and Juliet
Just watched that movie today, can't believe it took 21 posts.
"bittersweet symphony" at the end of cruel intentions. it was the perfect fit.

loves it.

[Guern1ca]

"Misery" by Soul Asylum at the end of Clerks II. Brilliance.


To continue the Kevin Smith trend, "We Don't Have to Take Our Clothes Off" by Jermaine Stewart during the credits of Zack and Miri Make a Porno. He always has really, really great music throughout his films.

[Smash Adams]

qUJkM9jAzkk

[flask]

Phenomena during the end credits of The Ruins elevated it from "decent" to "good" status.

[Full Effect Ed]

Yeah man, hearing Misery was definitely good stuff.

Shit, just thinking about it makes me wanna watch it soon

[Jake Denning]

Limp Bizkit's cover of Behind Blue Eyes - Gothika

[ActorInThisPlay]

I agree with Age of Aquarius at the end of 40 Year Old Virgin

[Gaugzilla]

Limp Bizkit's cover of Behind Blue Eyes - Gothika
lolz.

"The Trapeze Swinger" by Iron & Wine closing out "In Good Company" was an excellent touch. How that got overlooked during Oscar season is beyond me.

[kellllla]

Kind of lame, but the ending to Avatar fit pretty well.
I See You - Leona Lewis

[SpyKi]

Frou Frou - Let Go

Perfect end to a fantastic film.

[narcoleptic953]

Falling Slowly getting reprised at the end of Once. One of my favorite movie endings ever.
The Wrestler: Screen cuts to black, then we hear Springsteen counting off to begin the title track. Chilling.
I agree with whoever said The Trapeze Swinger at the end of In Good Company.

[Deadbolt23]

Death Is The Road To Awe in the final scene of The Fountain. There are no words.

[Wake Up]

Bibo No Aozora - Ryuichi Sakamoto

From Babel

[framebyframe]

Sounds of Silence at the end of The Graduate

[sjb2k1]

first thought was "the blower's daughter" at the end of Closer. but maybe that's made better by natalie portman's slow motion strutting in NY. not sure.

[poppa Q]

first thought was "the blower's daughter" at the end of Closer. but maybe that's made better by natalie portman's slow motion strutting in NY. not sure.

so true.

another of my favorite music/movie scenes of all time is "east hasting" in 28 days l8er

[SincerelyMe]

Stop Crying Your Heart Out at the end of The Butterfly Effect. One of my favorite movies and it fits so perfectly.

[davehennessy]

The Star Wars theme at the end of A New Hope.

Came in here to say that. Definitely my pick

[Smash Adams]

Cat Stevens-If You Want To Sing Out Sing Out

[Tautou107]

The Blower's Daughter is such a great one. I also really love the one at the end of Being John Malkovich.

[phil19]

i dont really pay much attention to the songs at the end of movies. the only one that i can think of is the song at the end of wedding crashers. no idea what its called or who sings it, i just like it

[Gumbyjag]

Naked City- "Bonehead" from Funny Games (the remake). Completely catches you off guard. Scared the shit out of my mom, lol.

[Chris Fallon]

I have to go with Fight Club, too. It's always the one that sticks out in my mind. Just so fucking perfect. There's one I know I am forgetting, but the film/song might be too obscure to recall at the moment.

[bemerboy526]

the pixies at the end of fight club

agreed.

[Fill]

since someone already mentioned fight club kashmir at the end of the matrix

Do you mean Wake Up by Rage Against the Machine or did I miss a song?

[itsmesean0630]

Did anyone say Pixies from Fight Club yet?

[Smash Adams]

Do you mean Wake Up by Rage Against the Machine or did I miss a song?
Yeah I did, they just sound awful similar to me-I know that now

[Fill]

Haha they do. I didn't know if you were serious or what. It is a cool ending though.

[cshadows2887]

Can't remember if Philadelphia ends with "Philadelphia" or "Streets of Philadephia" but, yeah, that.

[cshadows2887]

Cat Stevens-If You Want To Sing Out Sing Out
Harold and Maude

I like you.

[cshadows2887]

Oh and gotta give Twilight props. "Flightless Bird, American Mouth" into "15 Step".

[SkyHeldUpByStar]

Going with a recent one, I really enjoyed this song at the end of How to Train Your Dragon and would kind of love to see it maybe go up for an award next year:
