Your favorite "happy ending" movie thread

[SUintheVille]

In light of Jake's good news (hope it pans out), it seems appropriate to start the official or unofficial (I can't decide) "what's your favorite happy ending movie" thread.

Hmm, what to choose. How about "The Shawshank Redemption." Love that movie. Red gets out of prison to join his friend Andy Dufresne on the beach in Mexico.

Also, Rocky I had a happy ending.

Apollo 13 - the end of that movie is amazing.

As a lifelong Red Sox fan, i'd have to say the best happy ending was in the movie Fever Pitch

Plus I have had a lifelong crush on Drew Barrymore. Like since I was 10 and she was in things like Firestarter and Cat's Eye

speaking of happy endings, whats up with that place "The Ultimate Massage"? I see the signs posted all up in down Interstate 81 from like Northern Pa to NC.

Would it be cheesy to say Hoosiers being that we are on a basketball board. Rudy also

The Warriors.

Walking along the beach at dawn back home at coney island after surviving through the night. With Joe Walsh's "In The City" blasting as the credits roll.

You warriors are good. Real good.

For the old Syracuse moviegoers in HBC auditorium: how about Alan Bates standing naked in front of the insane asylum with his bird cage at the end of King of Hearts?

I am a very passionate man. Being that I am not one that thinks a man shedding tears means he's a wuss.

When the old catcher lays down the perfect bunt and hustles his ass down the line and they win, I got a tear. It's beautiful.
Of course I do the same thing when Waterboys' winning TD pass is in the air and the Cajun dude is squeezing his nipple rings.

Unless they are fairy tales (e.g., ET), great movies don't normally have happy endings (e.g., Casablanca, Citizen Kane, Schindler's List, Glory, etc). Having said that, I guess I would go with Forrest Gump, To Kill a Mockingbird (sort of happy at the end after a pretty bad middle) and, yes, Hoosiers.
