10 Movies That End In Utter Silence

8. Annie Hall

But not every silent credits roll is reserved for death or destruction, as evidenced by one of the all-time most famous examples - Woody Allen's Best Picture-winning comedy classic Annie Hall.

The film ends with hyper-neurotic protagonist Alvy (Allen) looking back on his former relationship with Annie (Diane Keaton), while semi-hopefully noting that love is both irrational and necessary to the human condition.

And then, as was and remains wildly uncharacteristic for a romantic comedy, the credits play out in total silence - there's no schmaltzy pop song to be heard.

As with the rest of the movie, which is rather light on music, it's as though Allen didn't want to prompt the audience's thoughts through musical manipulation, but simply leave them to quietly meditate on the film's meaningful closing lines.
