I didn’t like The Village. The ending just made it even more silly.

I’m a huge Hitchcock fan, but always felt ripped off by the end of The Birds. That said, I haven’t seen it since I was a kid, so maybe I would like it better now.
You blasphemer!
On second thought, you’re probably right.
You could maybe understand the ending of them simply driving away if Hitchcock had given a little bit more of a hint as to why the Birds went nuts.
If the theme was simply, the horror of the fact that birds (or other natural phenomena) simply just act strange sometimes and life is unpredictable, then why focus so much on Tippi Hedren and those two love birds in the cage at the start of the movie?
It feels like nitpicking for this outstanding classic and unique horror film, but I think I agree, it could have been a little better.

Well that's an ok abstract take I suppose but that's not how Ryan took it.
Ryan closed out the movie blubbering over Miller's grave or something like that, asking if he was "good enough" or whatever.
As if Ryan wouldn't have led a decent and good life without Miller's pettiness. As if Ryan's own upbringing wouldn't have been motivation enough. As if Ryan needed any help at all appreciating the rest of his life and the sacrifices of his comrades.
Spielberg all but told us Ryan came from a good, close knit family in earlier scenes. My guess is Ryan was taught to earn it long before Miller ever entered his life.
Instead of making Miller look embittered and resentful by asking Ryan to "earn it". Spielberg should've made him look like the man he actually was. A man who just led and won a very important battle. A man who died accomplishing something great. But no, let's close this character out with him laying a petty guilt trip on someone who did not ask for or need his help.
One of the worst endings I've ever seen.

This 1000%. If ever I wanted to see the “bad guy” to get away with it, it was that movie.

I liked it.
For me, and it's only like a part of the ending I'm referring to, but the version of Return of The Jedi where Lucas added in Vader saying, "No...NOOOOO." Sheesh, what a stupid decision. The beauty in the original is that you can perfectly tell what Vader is thinking just by his movements.

A lot of horror movies have lame "gotcha" endings.

I thought it was great. I laughed hysterically as Just Once played. Pretty good comedy

Road to Perdition is one movie in which I can’t stand the ending. It is a great ending but I just hate seeing Mike get killed at the end. I thought him and the boy had made it.

They should have at the very least left it open for a sequel

Only people who didn’t pay attention to the movie dislike the ending
Llewellyn was offered a deal. He turned it down. Even Woody Harrelson’s character told hin he should’ve taken the deal.

I wouldn't call it great, but Smilla's Sense of Snow was a decent who done it for about the first three-quarters of the movie and then just went to shite during the final quarter.

I thought the explosion ending in Hot Fuzz was tarded and completely pointless. It really left a bad taste in my mouth on initial viewing.
Well you missed the point of the movie
