I'm a fan of the old "plot twist" end, so I love the denouments of M Night Shyamalan's early work. The Sixth Sense & Unbreakable both have quality conclusions.
Sadly he's gone from being bad to vomit out loud awful of late.

Vertigo. Such a poignant and fitting ending, despite the fact that the 'twist' was revealed mid-way through the story.

The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner - Something uber cool about the way Tom Courtenay sticks two fingers up to authority in sight of the finishing line.
The Quiet Earth - Makes no sense whatsoever, but does it need to? Into the Wild - Not sure why, as on the surface there's nothing special about it, but the combination of the cinematography, Eddie Vedder's soundtrack and the ending create something superb IMO.

Whenever this topic is brought up I immediately think of No Way Out, but when I look at it objectively I think I've seen several better movie endings. There probably isn't a greater difference in quality between the first 95% of a movie and the end of it than in No Way Out though; it was pretty average throughout until that twist.

Several finishes when I saw that film, tbh.
Vote one for the The Deer Hunter.

Shawshank is great. Would be one of my favourites.
To Kill a Mocking Bird has a great ending as well, when Scout stands on the porch of the Radley house and sees her world from a whole new perspective. Casablanca is beyond great as well.
