I don't know about you, but my BIGGEST movie pet peave is the movie ending that does't answer any questions and makes you leave the move scratching your head, or just plain mad. I'm gonna list a few that stick out in my mind. Please add your own, but don't just list the title, explain it a bit for those who may not have seen the movie. PLEASE DO NOT CONFUSE MOVIES THAT INTENTIONALLY LEAVE THINGS UNSAID OR AMBIGUOUS WITH A POSITIVE RESULT. THIS THREAD IS ABOUT MOVIES THAT TEASE AND NEVER DELIVER A RESOLUTION TO THE VIEWER, REGARLDESS OF WHETHER ALL PLOT THREADS ARE WRAPPED UP.
Jeepers Creepers
-GRRRR. I could not have been more pissed of that they never give us an origin story for the creeper. Not even a hint. Very lame. I never saw the sequel, but I hear it doesnt explain the creepers origin either.
Big Fish
-way to mess with my mind. I don't mind being strung along during the movie, but at the end Dorothy better wake up in Kansas, or not. But in Big Fish Dorothy wakes up and then goes back to sleep again.
The Bogeyman
-in this case the whole movie made no sense, so the fact that it isnt explained at the end is doubly annoying.
Swordfish
-whole movie doesnt make sense, and the ending just makes it worse.
Unrelated random thought. Is Lois Lane the stupidest person on earth? I mean if a pair of glasses will make me instantly unreconizable, then I gotta get me a pair of those glasses!

movies that make sense while you're watching them, but actually have gaping plotholes.
The Interpreter
-seems to make perfect sense, but in reality makes no sense at all, and leaves a tonne of unanswered questions. Like, if Nicole Kidman is behind it all, then why is she genuinely afraid when she overhears the phone call, why are people trying to kill her, and are we expected to belive that an attempted assasin is allowed to walk around as a free woman before being deported? And yet is still manages to be a decent movie.
