How to end a movie 101

What is going on with these directors and there horrible movie endings did they all miss that class in film school? There is nothing worse then being in the movie theater enjoying your movie then "BAM" screen goes black you start looking up at the projection rooms little window expecting to see flames and smoke because no way could that have been the ending then credits start scrolling up and you think to yourself what the ..... was that. you leave the theater in a dazed fog unsatisfied and slightly angry and all you can say is WTF were they thinking. This used to be a rare thing but unfortunately it is happening way to often lately. So I'm going to say this to all the directors out there so please take note it is not cool nor will it ever be cool to just end a movie point blank. We as movie goers like our things all tied up at the end all mysteries revealed and bad guys caught. The only time it is OK to leave us hanging is when we know there will be a sequel. I mean Salt was a great movie till she jumped out of the helicopter and then it ended role credits no way did they just do that what did they run out of money and thought OK i guess will just stop there then. You better be making a salt 2 or that was just a waste of time and don't get me started on the disastrous ending in skyline. what the heck was that OK lets just lay down and give up........end WTF really. Bad endings happen so often now a days I don't even want to spend the $10 to go see the movie in theaters anymore. I mean isnt the point of making a movie to make money at the box office and then again in dvd sales well if you keep up with these endings your not gonna do that and you will lose future money on all box office movies cause people will just stop going to the theaters.

My Top 5  worst movie endings:
1. Skyline :
We are gonna try and fight the aliens oh wait i got zapped one two many times im tired i need to lay down end scence.......just horrible...... then the stupid comic like drawings flashing in the credits horrible.

2. Salt
She jumps from her helicopter and you think she's gonna go after the other "bad guys" but no it just ends. whens part 2 coming out?
3. No counrty for old men
Ramble Ramble Ramble and the bad guy gets away.............

4. The Fog (2005)
It was great untill they get in the car and try to drive out of the fog and then he shoots everyone except himself only to then realiz he didn't have to ..........tragic

5.The Abyss
The stupid alien ship rises out of the ocean and everyone is fine..............could we not think of an ending so we just didnt make one?
