In consideration at the moment are

Location: Round Rock, TX | Dark, JW, very dark. Plus you start out picking 2 of my favorites - Usual Suspects and Chinatown.
I would suggest
The Searchers (maybe the best ending ever)
Sixth Sense
Pulp Fiction
and on a Romantic-comedy-happy-ending note
The Philadelphia Story |

Lately the Wife and I have become "Lost" fans. It seems like the only way to watch it is to get the Season DVDs - season 4 comes in next week! |

Location: Jet City | Hmmm... many of the listed ones are actually HORRIBLE endings. Does that make it a good ending then?
If that's the case, add "City of Angels" and "Million Dollar Babies" |
