For this #FridayFunday, what about the Best Movie Endings - and if you do a search on YouTube, you can probably find a clip of the ending you want to put forward (like I've managed to do for my suggestion)

This is all very subjective but I'd put forward that to be truly great, when you watch a movie ending and you 'get something in your eye', then its a good one ( ... or go through a pack of tissues!)

There are films which end with powerful speeches and then rapturous applause, or those when families come together and its hugs and tears, then there is the consummate story endings of say The Godfather (Part I), or the mini mini movies of say the ending of Notting Hill (the story in 3 minutes + a look into the future)

The ending of Shindler's List gives us some idea of the terrible terrible happenings of The Holocaust, and of what one man's actions did for the people who laid stones on his grave, whilst there are many special (but horrific) films about the problems of today, films that end in sadness, and ask us to go way and do something about what we've seen

I'd like to put forward a tale of triumph

If you haven't see the movie, or you just went to the musical that followed, then do consider finding it (it is a BBC movie so appears quite often) instead of watching the link - the whole movie is very special

I've put some spoilers into a reply to this post, and my thoughts on why this should be on 'the list' - so here we go!

This is the last three minutes of Billy Elliot - if you've seen it already you know its tissues at the ready ....
