Best ending songs to movies.

[gypsyman]

This may be an exception as it is the last scene of the movie before the credits. In a gadda davida from the 1986 production of Manhunter.

 

[MagnusTheBrewer]

I'm all right - Kenny Logins Caddyshack.

 

[BrokenVisage]

Fight Club and Breakfast Club

I think Drive had a good one too

 

[UglyCasanova]

Pixies at the end of Fight Club was really good.

 

[GagHalfrunt]

We'll Meet Again from Dr Strangelove

 

[Jaepheth]

Breaking Bad - Badfinger's Baby Blue

Maybe not a movie, but it was the best ending song I could think of.

 

[Corporate Thug]

I came here to post this ^^

[kevman]

Midnight Rider by the Allman Brothers - Devil's Rejects

EDIT: nevermind, that was not the ending song, it was actually the beginning I think.

 

[dennilfloss]

Toto: Take My Hand from Dune.

wow i dont' know how the hell i forgot gladiator...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lkuoG0t33WY

[motsm]

The Brahms piece at the end of There Will be Blood.

I've always liked the end credits to Gladiator.

edit: Beaten by a mile on that one. Well, how about
Cloud Atlas
Out of Africa
Braveheart
Glory

Too many good credits scores from which to choose.

 

[Kadarin]

The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension - I dont know what the song is, but here it is.

That whole scene is awesome. They clearly did it in more than one take, as Perfect Tommy changed clothes halfway through. LOVE that movie!

 

[clamum]

One of my favs is "Time" at the end of Inception. Gives me goosebumps sometimes. So fucking great.

 

[John Connor]

ending of platoon


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NIJZGR2FaDA

shortened version

That was indeed a good ending song.

I have several, but the only one's I can think of at the top of my head is Paint It Black at the end of Devils Advocate. And 30 Days Of Night.

Not a movie but I was stoked when a Walking Dead episode played "The Regulator" by Clutch at the end.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ziH7PfCmOY

Yeah that's a powerful song. Gotta love Clutch; once in a great while I'll see them used for a movie or TV and I'm always glad. Under the radar but good stuff.

wow i dont' know how the hell i forgot gladiator...

For sure. As in Inception, Zimmer is the man.

EDIT: Almost forgot "The Thin Red Line" as another awesome example of Zimmer's work. Tried to find a good clip of the ending (I believe it's one of the choir songs IIRC) on YouTube but I couldn't.

"Into the West" from Lord of the Rings

I almost can't listen to it, even though I like it a lot. My brother was a big fan of the movie series and he passed away from cancer a few years ago. Lyrics are pretty poignant now.

 

[John Connor]

Life of Brian http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WlBiLNN1NhQ

At the 2012 Olympic games in London they played that song and the commentator said it was the most popular song played at funerals.

 

[John Connor]

Thin Red Line.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OmBUZ6DZjBg

I knew a guy from Sudan who could speak Swahili and told me the song was something about a solider.

Behind Enemy Lines.

Good thread.

I want to like that Moby song, but I just don't. Guess I have to see the movie first.

Lisa Gerrar at the end of Gladiator gives me the chills:

(Whoops Goober beat me to it).

 

[purbeast0]
