What movie should have ended ten minutes earlier?

Personally, I think that David Fincher's The Game could have done without that final twist:

To have Michael Douglas emotionally broken by the end of the film showed just how powerful The Game was. The last 10 minutes or so were some of the best moments in the film, seeing Michael Douglas snap after The Game ruined his life was a fitting ending to the film imo

A story of an evil company that cons rich people out of millions would have been exciting thriller with a satisfying ending. When Michael Douglas shouts his own brother through sheer fear and frustration, it truly shows how far the game pushed him, but to claim that it was all part of an elaborate plan seems tiresome and effortless. Similarly, Michael Douglas jumping out of the building to kill himself finished the film in a poetic fashion, his life coming full circle - a callous rich businessman learns to care for the people he should, yet ultimately his change was unnecessary as he ends up killing his own brother. Not to mention the parallel between his father's and his own death.

I understand that all of this was probably intentional but I still believe that the film would have been better had it ended on the poetic note that it could have.

What finds do you think would have been better had they ended 10 minutes earlier?
