“And like that :: puff:: he’s gone.”
The Ususal Suspects
That one totally rocked.

Dr. Graham walks out through the corn field in Field of Dreams.
Hey Rookie! You were good.

In the Spirit of the Vanishing point film, I’ve always really liked the ending of Devil’s Reject . (Violent, loud, and gory, probably not be safe for offices).
But that was a really satisfying ending after watching all the non-stop horror and violence perpetrated by those characters throughout the film- it all just REALLY worked there at the ending to convey the emotions of those characters at the end of the film.
Crazy Larry, Dirty Mary.
Didn’t see THAT coming…
Chance the gardener (played by Peter Sellers) walking across the lake in Being There.
I was thinking of Pvt. Pyle at the end of the first half of Full Metal Jacket, after stating: “I AM in a world of shit”.
My list of Doctor Who regeneration scenes from the other thread could do double duty here.
But I’ll go with the finale of Hitchcock’s Notorious: Cary Grant’s “No room, Sebastian!” as he locks the cab door, and moments later, Claude Raine’s boss politely calls from the door: “Sebastian, come in, please. We want to talk to you.”
Alida Valli’s exit scene at the end of The Third Man is one of my favorites.
What, no love for Thelma and Louise?
Boromir
The real (?) Kong himself went out in spectacular fashion, I’d say.
(no one said they had to be human!)
Some Like It Hot– “Nobody’s perfect!”
Minor hijack. Gotta friend in Holland who has become friendly with Rutger Hauer. Apparently he was told to free associate, improv, what have you. Claims that speech was made up that day.
Interesting.

Agreed. Absolutely heroic.
In his autobiography, and in the DVD release, the same claim is made - it’s not totally made up by him alone, but some lines were Rutger’s idea.
•Q, in The World is Not Enough.
“…Always have an escape plan.”
Q’s implied retirement is wistful enough…but Desmond Llewelyn’s accidental death not long after makes it downright eerie.
•Arguably, the Crow, in The Crow. More eerie symbolism.
No, which is why they went on the road trip in the first place.
