For example, **Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country**. They knew it would be the last time the original cast would all work together on a ST project and the end credits begin with them all “signing” the screen. Any other movie end credits that are unique or memorable in some way? ---

I enjoyed The Jungle Book 2016 end credits a quite a bit. [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/HHr-6HXRBEc/hqdefault.jpg "The Jungle Book (2016) Ending Credits") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHr-6HXRBEc) ---

I really like the closing scene/end credits of _Paul_, interspersing Graeme and Clive’s triumphant return to Comic-Con with photos from their road trip with ELO’s “All Over The World” playing in the background. A feel-good ending to a fun movie. ---

_[Wild Things](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/best-modern-noir-movies/649953)_ (1998) revealed the whodunit in the middle of the end credits. ---

I think the final scene of _The Life of David Gale_ would have been a brilliant cut scene in the credits. ---

The MST3K version of parts: the clonus horror includes riffing on the end credits that may be the funniest part of the whole thing. Includes extended riffs on star Peter Graves (taking off on his role as host of “Biography”) and gratuitous shots at his brother, James Arness. ---

I read it at the end when I first saw the film in theaters. If you look, you’ll find a lot of films with such “easter eggs” thrown into the legalese. Sometimes in the opening credits rather than the end credits. The opening credits of _Monty Python and the Holy Grail_ has the legal disclaimer signed by “Richard M. Nixon”. The closing credits of the Zucker/Zucker/Abrahams movies are a goldmine of great stuff. And I see Tripolar mentioned the Monty Python and Richard Nixon while I got called away. ---

[Moderating] I’m not sure what position the courts have taken on copyrightability of credits, but that seemed rather long for fair use, to me. I’ve edited down your quote; anyone interested in all of it can follow your link. Or dust off their old VHS tape of the movie and watch it themselves (all Dopers have a copy of Monty Python and the Holy Grail, right? I can’t remember if we remembered to put that in the Terms of Service last time we updated them). ---

Both [Repo Man](https://youtu.be/M76jrbTjlxY?si=fkx875EEIQ89a5Ic&t=134) and [Bird on a Wire](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RrO1sHvzGZw&ab_channel=Samuel) have their ending credits go from top down instead of bottom up. I remember noticing it because it just looks different that way. I’m sure there are other movies that do this as well but these are the only two that I can think of offhand. ---

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban did a good job with the Marauders’ Map in general, and then used it for the end credits. [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/MJzymmFvtlk/maxresdefault.jpg "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban end credits") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJzymmFvtlk) ---

[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.
