10 Most Satisfying Movie Endings of All Time, Ranked

Endings are important; they can often make or break a film, and there are a lot of different factors that go into making one that’s satisfying. Not all endings are meant to be satisfying, but the ones that are often genuinely feel so much better than those that are purposefully obtuse, ambiguous or unfulfilling. They can leave an audience contented with a conclusion or excited for future installments, or often both. The most satisfying endings often end with applause, tears or joy or even a bittersweet feeling in saying goodbye, but they don’t confuse, enrage or disappoint.
