10 Movies With the Biggest Gut-Punch Endings, Ranked by CBR

"Many filmmakers are well known for ending their films with surprising twists, especially those that change the nature of the film upon second viewing. While some of these endings can elevate the viewing experience, others can leave viewers with a feeling of crushing disappointment. These endings often come in the form of unexpected deaths or shocking reveals that give viewers a sinking feeling, sometimes of defeat. These movies are among the best stories but can make for difficult viewing, especially once viewers know where the story is leading. Some of these have made for the most heartbreaking events on film, with some even going as far as to erase their own story in one big reveal. While some of these are excellent, there is an art to the tragic ending, especially when wrapped in a twist." - cbr.com
