Freeze frame endings are one of cinema’s most classic and simple stylistic choices. Sometimes they hit you with real emotion, but most of the times they’re unintentionally funny or even a little cheesy.
This editing trick became especially popular in the 70s and 80s, and while it’s much rarer today, it remains a unique way to end a story. Here’s a collection of 15 memorable freeze frame endings from different movies, each one closing the film with a single frozen image.
Which ones did I miss? And which would you add?
