The great thing about watching a movie is that usually, after 90 or so minutes, the credits roll and you can fee🍨l satisfied that you've seen a complete story with a tidy ending. However, that's not always the case, as some films have ambiguous endings. These conclusions are anything but tidy, and viewers have to ponder what happened or what it all means for days—or even years—to come after they leave the cinema. However, when done right, these ambiguous endings are a feature, not a bug.

These are the movie endings that make you question everything that happened earlier in the movie, speculate about what could possibly happen next, or get into heated debates about symbolism. What makes for an ambiguous ending is a little subjective; one viewer might think a film's ending is clear as day, another might be confused or have a totally opposite takeaway. Someꩲtimes there is an implici🦩t "correct" answer to what an ending means, yet there's still enough mystery or room for interpretation for it to qualify.

Here are 32 of the greatest ambiguous movie endings. (...Or are they?) As a warning, this list will inherently spoil the 🔯endings of all the listed movies.

32. mother!

Year: 2017
Director: Darren Aronofsky

The ending to Darren Aronofsky's polarizing psychological horror flick is just as ambiguous and debated as, well, the entire movie. The bulk of the 2017 film follows Jennifer Lawrence's title character as she endures loss and strange abuse while living in a house with her partner, a man identified only as Him (Javier Bardem). It all ends in a confrontationꦰ that turns into an inferno… only for Him to remove a crystal from Lawrence's chest and use it to create a new house with a new mother, now played by a different actress. The cycle continues undaunted.

31. It Follows

Year: 2014
Director: David Robert Mitchell

There's a horror movie cliche that "if you have sex, you die," but perhaps none literalized it so effectively as 2014's It Follows. Scream queen Maika Monroe stars as Jay, a college student who hooks up with a guy only to discover she's being followed by an entity that will kill her if it ever reaches her—unless she sleeps with somebody else to pass the curse along. Jay and her friend Paul (Keir Gilchrist) manage to defeat the creature, but the film ends with them holding hands as they walk down the street. And, in the distance behind them, a figure follows. Did they not break the curse, or is this just somebody walking down the street? This unsure paranoia is what makes It Follows one of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best horror movies released ꦿin recent years, and it continues down to the last🧸 shot.
