Thanks, guys, especially Rick. Nice link there.

The only additional classifications I gathered from those six were The Twist ending, like PLANET OF THE APES, and maybe it's red-headed step brother, The Summation, where all sorts of little details throughout the film come to a point at the end. Kinda like THE USUAL SUSPECTS.
Not too many of those.

INCEPTION was a clean Complete Victory.
- Cobb got his freedom and his kids back.
- Saito got his inception planted.
- Everybody lived.
- Everyone went home happy.

Thank you, again.

Quoted from RayW
INCEPTION was a clean Complete Victory.

Depending on whether or not they actually started out in reality. Which is up to interpretation. All we know is that they came back to where they started - which could have been a dream.

Nice diagram by the way.

Quoted from Scar Tissue Films
Oooh, you have to see the Italian Job.


Fun fact!  The Italian police chief (whose nice car is crushed near the end) is Heretic's great uncle Robert.

Implicit ending:  How about Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans?  Seems pretty open to interpretation how the character's arc ends, although the plot is neatly wrapped up in an explicit fashion.
