WARNING - I'd call the spoilers below if they didn't completely suck - but I'm giving away the endings.

I'd say, "A.I.", but that entire film was completely awful. I really thought it was going to end with him frozen. Then came the Aliens. WTF?

RETURN OF THE JEDI. Ewoks. 'nuf said.

SIGNS. "Gee, let's invade a planet who's most abundant substance is our kryptonite."

"Passion of the Christ" and "Titanic" - the surprise endings really got me.

"The Fifth Element" - oh, Besson, why did you ruin this fun romp with Chris Tucker turning into a game show with a love story?

"Maximum Overdrive" - absolutely horrible. So Emilio Estevez is being attacked with a bunch of people by alive vehicles. The ending? They get on a boat, which apparently isn't possessed - only land vehicles act weird.

"Contact" - to quote Mr. Garrison: "I watched that whole damn movie to see the alien at the end, and it ends up being her father!" (he then pukes)

"Johnny Mnemonic" - WTF? A psychic dolphin? And how the hell did they butcher Gibson so phenomenally?

"Bowling for Columbine" - for once, Michael Moore is making (for him) a somewhat balance documentary on fear mongering in America. Then he has to do the cheapest gimmick of all time, visiting Charlton Heston unannounced, who was a perfect gentleman while Moore made himself look like even more of an ass.

Not the fault of directors, but fixed later: "Blade Runner" (theatrical cut), fixed in director's cut, and the happy-ending version of "Brazil."

Rant mode off!

The Fifth Element was fucking fantastic in every way and you take it back RIGHT NOW or you're dead to me.
