As counterpoint to [the title sequences thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=848788), how about the best end credits sequences? [My favorite](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JoBnHYKcCRU) is from _Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events_, which IMHO is better than the actual movie. Right up there are [the credits for _WALL-E_](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1hl6KedgOuI). ---

_Monty Python and the Holy Grail._ The screen goes blank - that’s it; not even “The End.” (On the DVD version that I have, it ends with about three minutes of organ music over a black screen.) The story is, the plan was for Terry Gilliam to make an animated “mini-movie” for the closing credits, but they ran out of money. ---

Okay, not the “best end credits sequence,” but certainly a unique one (fortunately): _Skidoo_ (1968) [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/WzjO5Q6-nIc/maxresdefault.jpg "Skidoo (1968) end credits") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WzjO5Q6-nIc) ---

I had a big, goofy grin on my face all throughout the _Spider-Man: Homecoming_ credits. **Spoiler Alert** : Link contains the last scene of the film, which is key because the transition is great.

_Diner_ Visually, it’s a black background with white letters giving the names of the people involved. But instead of music, the soundtrack is a conversation among the main characters. It is fascinating. When I saw it, nobody left the theater until it was over. ---

Pisses me I can’t find a link for the end credits for _After Hours_. The camera does one continuous tracking shot going in and out of, and around, office cubicles - at a pretty good clip, too. In the suspense “How Awful About Alan”, I like how the end title helps _confirm_ the plot. The protagonist regains his vision at some point in the movie, but at the very end, [he loses it again.☹](https://youtu.be/H4Zicq-OjHs?t=4372) 😛 ---

The closing credits for [Paul](https://youtu.be/sXe3jokuP24) aren’t particularly fancy, they don’t have any high-end graphics or animation, but the ending always makes me smile. (Using ELO’s ebullient _All Over The World_ was a brillaint choice) ---

I wasn’t sure where to start this final shot, which eventually leads into the end-credits. It’s long, at over three minutes - sit back and [get a little creeped:eek:out](https://youtu.be/YbCq4cJ_MXk?t=5585) Gradually louder phone rings during the credits as ‘trusty’ Officer Nash stands guard at the door: priceless. ---

I love the end credits for Around The World in 80 Days (David Niven 1956 version). A short animated recap of the plot of the film listing all the guest stars where they appeared. (Couldn’t find a link, unfortunately. ---

I think the end credits from **The Magnificent Ambersons** deserve a shout here. Almost literally. The names of the people given credit were read out by Orson Welles, and weren’t written down. It's the flip side to the opening credits for \*\*Fahrenheit 451\*\*, in which they were read aloud instead of being written down -- appropriate for a story about a post-literate society in which no one reads. The credits are read over a montage of shots of television antennas on roofs. The only difference, were it to be done today, is that it would show a montage of satellite dishes nd cable boxes.
