10 Movies That End In Utter Silence

6. Cabaret

Of all the films to feature silent end credits, you certainly wouldn't expect it from a musical, right?

Well, Bob Fosse's Oscar-winning 1972 musical drama Cabaret, for all of its iconic song-and-dance numbers, is no conventional musical, with its central thematic following the rise of the Nazi Party in 1930s Berlin.

And to that end, it's not so much frothy escapism as it is transgressive and at times daringly bleak, what with its final shot being an out-of-focus freeze-frame of Nazis glancing at the stage.

Would cheery exit music really feel appropriate? Instead, Fosse leaves the audience to ponder the rise of the Nazis and the Master of Ceremonies' (Joel Grey) closing words about the forces which have allowed anti-Semitism to rise.
