10 Movies That End In Utter Silence

4. American Sniper

Though American Sniper's end credits sequence begins with real-life footage of Chris Kyle's (Bradley Cooper) funeral accompanied by a military fanfare, this is really just a prelude to main credits, which are nothing more than a simple black-and-white credits roll backed by no sound whatsoever.

It's a surprisingly classy and restrained move for director Clint Eastwood, who isn't much known for his filmmaking subtlety these days, especially when it comes to politically-charged subject matter.

But rather than inundate viewers with manipulative and jingostic sound and imagery, he simply lets Kyle's story echo in the audience's mind throughout the remaining five minutes of silent credits.
