One of the best has to be Beneath The Planet Of The Apes. Not only does the hero, James Franciscus, get riddled with bullets but Charlton Heston destroys the world.
"What do you mean they're making another one?" - Charlton Heston.

You know what, I am on the verge of exploding, I am SO annoyed! NOT ONE DAMN MENTION of the ending of King Kong 1933!!!!!! WHAT THE HELL? That is perhaps the most memorable ending to a blockbuster ever...and you guys completely skip it. This is a sad, sad day for me...looks like people really DON'T care about helpless animals being slaughtered. *Sigh*
God, now I know why I seem to be a nonexistent user on this forums...the name always throws people off.
This is like saying that THE GODFATHER or HELLBOY have bullsh!t endings...
(I REALLY need to get hosed...boy, I hope I haven't annoyed or pissed off anybody! ClintonHammond, Deckard24, JonesisSparrow...I apologise!)

Whoever mentioned City Lights, bravo! That is indeed the greatest of all time.
My personal favourite however, is Peter Weirs haunting and lovely 'Gallipoli'
Other honourable mentions include;
Antonioni's 'La Notte'
De Sica's 'The Bicycle Thieves'
and Coppolas 'The Conversation'
If you ain't seen any of these, get on 'em.

Bergman had many great endings...
The 'dance of death' in Det Sjunde inseglet...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrFxj_ZCA-Q
...and the Doctor finally finding internal peace in Smultronstället.
Great stuff.

Basic Instinct - even though you know who the killer is the whole time, you're still waiting for that one shred of doubt. You're lulled into a false sense of security with the fade away, but then, in a very Hitchcockian way, Verhoeven adds one more piece to the puzzle.
Batman Returns - a somewhat bleak ending for our hero, but that final shot shows that a certain cat has one more life to live.
Big Fish - one of the most moving "death" scenes in history, and somewhat ironically also one of the happiest. I'm not a Burton fan, but with this and Batman Returns, he gave us two awesome endings.
Casablanca - as everyone else has said, this is a classic.
Halloween - a great, spooky ending.
Love Actually - Had to add a happy ending in there.
The Talented Mr. Ripley - what's so amazing about this film is that even though Tom is a killer that we shouldn't be supporting, you're still kind of happy that the film sets up a happy ending for him. But all that is taken away with one word..."Dickie?"
Who Framed Roger Rabbit - aside from the fact that Jessica Rabbit is the greatest cartoon character ever made, this one actually does have a great ending.
Witness For the Prosecution - amazing, amazing ending. One of the few times I was actually surprised by the end of a film.

The original Planet Of The Apes. Heston on his knees before the statue of liberty. "Damn you all to hell!"

Heh. Nolan's Batman has me struggling to enjoy Burton's flicks, but I agree. That ending is amazing!
It's been said before, but I haven't acknowledged it yet. Gladiator's ending (along with the rest of the film) is fantastic. And Planet of the Apes did have a great twist. How did I see that without knowing about it in advance with all of the references to it in pop culture? I guess I wasn't paying attention to pop culture then. I count myself lucky to have been surprised

The final scene in the original "Planet Of The Apes"
brilliant. To this day it still brings a chill to my spine
