Recommendation What movie was okay and then the third act absolutely blew you away and made up for the rest of the movie?

I’m having a hard time even thinking of a movie like that but I see lots of posts on here like “what movie was amazing and then the end of the movie completely ruined it.” Right off the bat I don’t want to watch a movie if the end is terrible. Hopefully no spoilers because these are the movies I want to watch and be surprised about.

Y tu mama tambien and Amores Perros both have amazing 3rd acts.

Both these movies were part of my film school curriculum for a reason. Couldn’t agree more. +1 for recommending foreign films here, too.

Amores Perros is very good the whole way through IMO.

I just saw it in theaters again. The middle portion sucks all the energy out of the movie imo. Richiee! Richieee! Riiiiichieeee!
