I'm guilty of it myself, but people really need to read the thread before they post.

I forget if the last line is "Yes, you can dream now, I think we both can" or "Affirmative", but either way, good stuff.

I was going to go with Memories of Murder, but Rath beat me to it. I don't think this one's been mentioned, which is surprising considering the other great endings of 2007 seem to have all been covered.

"There would be no eulogies for Bob, no photographs of his body would be sold in sundry stores, no people would crowd the streets in the rain to see his funeral cortege, no biographies would be written about him, no children named after him, no one would ever pay 25 cents to stand in the rooms he grew up in."

"Hello, Bob."

"The shotgun would ignite, and Ella Mae would scream, but Robert Ford would only lay on the floor and look at the ceiling, the light going out of his eyes, before he could find the right words."

September 28th, 1997. It is exactly 11am. At the funfair, near the ghost train, the marshmallow twister is twisting. Meanwhile, on a bench in Villette Square, Félix Lerbier learns there are more links in his brain than atoms in the universe. Meanwhile, at the Sacré Coeur, the nuns are practicing their backhand. The temperature is 24°C, humidity 70%, atmospheric pressure 990 millibars.

Which is also a variation on the last line of The Searchers, which I don't think has been quoted in this thread.

Also, get out of my head, Jonathan Banks. That Munich one is great.

"Tom Mix wept"--Tombstone

I know there's a newsreport that comes on and gives some finishing exposition after this, but themeatically and for all intent and purposes:

"Look at this. Look at what they make you give." --The Bourne Ultimatum

ETA: Although, the line about Bourne's body not being discovered, followed by Julia Stile's smile is pretty boss also.

"And oh, Danny fell! Round and round and round and round, like a penny whirlygig! Twenty thousand miles, for it took him half an hour to fall, before he struck the rocks. And do you know what they did to Peachy? They crucified him, sir-- between two pine trees-- as Peachy's hands will show. Poor, poor Peachy, who'd never done them any harm! He just hung there, and he screamed, but he didn't die. And the next day they come, and they took him down, and they said it was... a miracle he wasn't dead, and they let him go. And Peachy come home, in about a year. And the mountains, they tried to fall on old Peachy, but he was quite safe because... Daniel walked before him. And Daniel never let go of Peachy's hand, and Peachy never let go of Daniel's head. You knew Danny, sir? You knew that most worshipful brother, Daniel Dravot, Esquire? Well, he became a king of Kafiristan, with a crown on his head, and that's all there is to tell. I'll be on my way now, sir-- I've got urgent business in the South.

I'm going to take your brain out of your head and wash it and scrub it and make it clean. I don't know. But I'm going to have to settle this. First we're going to check the hole and see what we can find. We're going to get nice and wet, and you're going to spread your legs. Oh, that's good. So you know me. You know my reputation. Thirteen inches of tough load, I don't treat you gently. That's right. I'm Brock Landers. So I'm going to be nice. So I'm going to be nice.
