Not terrible movies, but average movies with great endings:
The Sixth Sense
The Usual Suspects

Not that the rest of the movie isn't good but the last 10 minutes or so of The Last of the Mohicans are great and raise the film.

The Mist (Not terrible by any means but very avg film saved by a ballsy ending.)

Coco
Not even close to a bad movie, but it would have been a mediocre PIXAR one without sticking a perfect ending.

I think overall it is difficult to save a bad movie with the ending.
At best it can bring everything together.
That said, I think people put too much weight on endings. There are a lot of good movies with bad endings.

Huh? What?
I remember very little about it--other than Bert Freed was originally Columbo. He does have some resemblance to Peter Falk in appearance and mannerisms.
Terrible movies saved by great endings...
Howling 2 Your Sister is a Werewolf? The end credits for that caused Sybil Danning to walk out in anger at the premiere so I heard.

I wouldn't call Saw terrible, but it's got some pretty hammy acting and goes way overboard with flashbacks and flashbacks within flashbacks and whatnot. But that twist is still the most shocked I've been in a movie.
Rogue One. Also not terrible, but completely mediocre and forgettable until Vader ignites that lightsaber and goes to town.
I just thought of Scream 4, which I actually do find terrible until the ending, which adds some topical social commentary and meta deconstruction of remakes. Bumped it up to "better than the third one".

The Lone Ranger (2013) remains wildly mediocre but that train chase at the end is one of the best finales I saw in years. Why wasn't the rest of the movie like that? It was exciting, imaginative, and the humor actually landed. Was Verbinski set to autopilot by accident for the first two hours or something?

War Horse is a very mediocre movie imo, but it has one of the most beautiful endings I have ever seen. It is a perfect throwback to old Hollywood westerns.
