Despite a few daring and original films which send us stumbling out of the cinema with a downer ending or a breathtaking twist, happy endings remain the staple conclusion for big screen fairytales. Summing up all that has come before in a last, stunning shot is no mean feat, but if you have a gorgeous piece of music to tide you over to the end credits, it helps the audience end on a high note. Here are a few moving examples, to help bring Screen Themes to a rousing conclusion.
