Interesting, when I think of Patton I usually think of the opening scene. But the ending does have an Ozymandias feel to it.

It is one of my favorites because of its philosophical depth, something that extended well beyond the story of the movie.

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
Breathless (American version.)
Bonnie and Clyde

I've always liked it when the closing frames show the violent ending of the main characters.
