If we broaden this to include TV series too, I'd say that the closing scene between Raylan Givens and Boyd Crowder in Justified (their last conversation), and the closing scene between Elizabeth and Philip Jennings in The Americans, were as good (clever, satisfying, worthy) as endings to long-running dramas could be and as pitch perfect as I can ever recall. As for films, I'd vote for GoodFellas...
