James Gandolfini – The Sopranos
It’s an almost fitting yet unwanted ending to a show about mobsters. The lead character, who is also the lead mob boss, dies by the gun. Yet the final scene of “The Sopranos” cuts to black, ten whole seconds of the stuff before any shots fire, then goes to end credits.
It was controversial, but even today, it’s still a talking point, with the show creator David Chase unwilling to say whether the Soprano family died. The beauty about that final scene is how every detail, including the entrance of a shady man, is followed. Fans will never get closure now since James Gandolfini, who played Tony, passed away in 2013.
