1990 was the year of "This was all a dream" endings. The one that I couldn't wait to see as everyone raved about it was Jacob's Ladder. Man that pissed me off.

I think this is the classic despised ending. Another bad ending is the deus ex machina.
 


Yep. That is generally used to make the good guys win. So, that was my complaint actually... I could clarify it without being asked, thanks to you.

The most striking and memorable endings that I remember are in Italian movies. Mixed feelings... But, they sure know how to shock...

No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

I hate how the good guys win and bad guys lose in most of the movies; not because of the fact that I would like evil to be victorious (honestly, I sometimes do though), but focus and reflect on my "how"... Also, this is generally just the opposite in real life. If you ask, I'll say and elaborate what I think about it.

Yet,

"This was all a dream," is my favourite "despicable" ending. I was mad at how Total Recall (1990) ended, when I was a kid.

Any thoughts?
