Birdman is the first one to come to mind and one that I thought was really well done.

Amibguous endings often work well.

Black Christmas, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and Halloween nailed their landings. You don't always need to wrap it up in a neat little bow.

Black Christmas drives younger audiences crazy by not explaining anything in the end. Definitely a good one.

The mom seemed fairly cold blooded. There were reasons for it, but still.

I think he had reasons beyond age/beauty for leaving with the daughter.

A superb movie. One of my all-time favorites. That tornado looked pretty ominous.
