20 Movies With Cliffhangers That Were Never Resolved & Likely Never Will Be (MovieWeb)

"One dramatic resource that films have always had is the ability to leave viewers with absolute expectations. Sometimes, the scene is edited to jump from doubt to resolution in a microsecond when the victim is saved. But sometimes, the director doesn't answer the question. Why? Because cliffhangers were designed to bring viewers back. Only sometimes coming back isn't quite fruitful. It isn't even possible, as films sometimes comply with the dramatic turn point of cliffhangers, and they are never solved. Empathy towards the audience? It seems nonexistent at this point, at least from a traditional point of view, as they're left with more questions and the eternal concern of their hero's well-being. The following is a compilation of such moments. The resolutions that were left open and never solved in the eyes of viewers who were left mouth-agape and tearful because they never knew and never will." - movieweb.com
