Best Cliffhangers?

Due to the nature of this thread, there may be spoilers contained.

I thought of this as i have just watched Inception for the first time and i really enjoyed the ending.

So what is your favourite cliffhanger? It can be from movies, games, tv shows or books.

The end of Half-Life 2: Episode 2.

Shame on those who haven't played it: even if you don't like the game, that was one spectacular cliffhanger.

"We have to get Soap out of here."
"Dah - I know a place."

I think a lot of people are going to say Inception, which I guess is true.

I believe that Name of the Wind has one of the best cliff hangers, simply because I want to know so badly what happens at the end of the series.

I think that would have to be the end of code geass. that last sentence is just so annoying, what happened?!!!

too many possibilites, not enough answers.

My name is Earl... a cliff hanger so good that the series ended just so we could never learn the answer.
Who is Earl Jr's real father?
or supernatural season 3, most shows will ask "is this character dead?" supernatural flat-out states
"main character dead, and rotting in hell and we will show them being torn apart by chains in hell just to cement the point."

I guess I don't need to spoiler tag since it's been ret-conned in a pretty well done way but I'll use those just to be safe

 

[Mr Metzger]

Also just thought of No Country for Old Men, which just ends

 

[Doinstuffman38]

I think the light side ending of The Force Unleashed II was a massive cliffhanger, and it made me yearn for a third game.

 

[DJDarque]

The best cliffhanger ever would probably have to be

 

[RatRace123]

"So tell me, what's become of my old ship?"

 

[hittite]

The Giver. If you haven't read this, do it. I'm not going to ruin the ending except to say that I really have no idea what happened to the character, although I wish him the best.

 

[DannibalG36]

Half-Life 2 had a tasty cliffhanger, as did Episode 2. But...

Halo 2's cliffhanger was legendary. 'Nuff said.

 

[Infinatex]

I believe you just won!

For me it would have to be the end of the first season of Heroes.

Yeah I read that book in the 8th grade. Didn't think much of it, but yeah I think the same about the ending and the character.

Surely you mean the only season of Heroes? After making that, they must have realised that there was no way they could match it, and so quite whilst they were ahead? Certainly there was never a 3rd season that was so bad that the lead writer felt obliged to apologise to the fans part way through!

well in the last season of My Name is Earl, there was this big plot twist regarding paternity tests of the main charcaters' children, but unfortuantly the network canceled the show before the audience could find out who the real father was... not the best cliffhanger, but most likely they will never answer the question

 

[Blind Sight]

End of season one, damn you Ronald D. Moore for making me wait six months to see what happened.
