I have friends who cannot take any lapse in a consistent narrative where everything is explained. So there are movie for all of us. pattinase (abbott)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02916037185235335846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-27593472795073014142015-09-08T10:03:33.678-04:002015-09-08T10:03:33.678-04:00There is something really cherishable about a movi...There is something really cherishable about a movie with a great finish, whether it be happy or sad. If I had to compile a top 10 (and yes, I think I now so feel compelled), all of these would be considered:<br /><br />James Bond crying in ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE<br />Rosebud undiscovered in CITIZEN KANE<br />Doors closing in THE SEARCHERS and THE GODFATHER<br />The beginning of a beautiful friendship in CASABLANCA<br />The sneeze in THE TAKING OF PELHAM ONE TWO THREE<br />Woodward and Bernstein typing in ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN<br />The puff of air in THE USUAL SUSPECTS<br />The voice explained in FIELD OF DREAMS<br />The flying car in BACK TO THE FUTURE<br />Sergio (Tipping My Fedora)http://bloodymurder.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-11141103895435609702015-09-08T09:57:53.165-04:002015-09-08T09:57:53.165-04:00I would not pick THE GRADUATE.

Even Shakespeare had as much trouble as anybody, but I think this movie has the perfect ending.
