The dance in AMERICAN IN PARIS in the purple dress

I have seen tons of movies with lame endings thanks to Mystery Science Theater/Rifftrax, but I think my favorite of those is THE AMAZING TRANSPARENT MAN. The movie ends with an old man turning to the camera asking, "What would you do?" It comes out of nowhere and stays there--what would I do about what?!?

This reminds me of the incredibly vexing ending to the unspeakably upsetting GREASE — that the GIRL has to give up everything that is important her just to date the world’s biggest loser, and of course the guy doesn’t have to give up a darn thing.

“Hallelujah” from HIT THE DECK next another song that starts with H

These are movie endings that bug many people including me— OUR TOWN — Movie ruins the play’s poetic ending by having Emily come back to life and have the death all be a dream (in the play she really is dead which is the whole point) *******additionally most movies where it’s all a dream are lame endings (unless it’s really well set up like OZ) but that’s the only one that came to mind TITANIC — Jack dies from Rose not letting him on the giant door, then somehow Rose doesn’t get frost bite or syphyllis, then chucks the mcguffin diamond in the ocean that, then reunites with that guy she knew for a week instead of her actual family MR BUDDWING — Even James Garner wondered… what the heck happened exactly at the end?

“Dancing” from HELLO DOLLY next another song about dancing (or that names a type of dance)
