15 People Share Movies With The Greatest Last 10 Minutes

One of the things that makes a movie boring is predictability. Sometimes you watch a story unfold, and you can guess how it will end. So what's the point of watching it if it doesn't surprise you with something new?

Other times, movies will have such plot twists that even if you have several theories on how the movie will turn out, none of them are even close to what the director had in mind. Nevertheless, they are interesting to watch because they don't follow any pattern, and many successful movies will have some element of surprise in them.

Reddit user u/Krmsyn asked, "Movie buffs of Reddit, what are the greatest last 10 minutes of any movie in your opinion?" It is unclear if they wanted inspiration for their next watchlist or if they just wanted to exchange opinions.

But we don't really care because the movies people shared are awesome, and we will definitely add them to our own "must-watch" lists. We have selected 25 of the most interesting movies, and we hope you will find them inspirational for your next movie night.

Some of these movies don’t have unexpected plot twists at the end. Nope.

You kind of know what’s going to happen, and they are still great. That shows mastery.

The ability to create a memorable ending without some flashy plot twists comes down to dialogue, acting, emotion, and even silence.

Only great directors can combine these elements to achieve such remarkable results. Of course, the script and the actors contribute enormously as well.

The original Park Chan-wook version, of course...

Have you ever heard someone say that their life is "like a movie?" Well, it may have something to do with movies like these.

They are so well made that they are completely believable. The last 10 minutes are just the climaxes of an incredible journey.

They weren't bad in the first 90 minutes or so and then suddenly became awesome. Movies are only as good as their ability to leave the audience astonished, moved, or contemplative.

And these movies do just that. We hope you found this list as inspirational as we did.

So, what's the next movie you are going to watch?
