Topic: The "OF COURSE!" ending

During the Dark City commentary, I remember Trey talking about that some of the best endings to movies occur when the protagonist overcomes their problems using a method that is both very obvious and not so obvious, so that the audience has a "of course"moment.  I just finished watching Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs and it had one of the biggest "of course" endings I've seen in awhile.  Does anyone else have some great examples?

Constantine.

I'll say that I think Sucker Punch was going for that kind of ending, but it just kind of falls flat.

Would the ending to Fight Club fall under this? The way that 'Jack' deals with Tyler Durden?

Re: The "OF COURSE!" ending

PORTAL 2, interestingly enough, has a great example of an unexpected-but-obvious ending. I played it through the day it came out ( pimp ) but just came across this thread again.

I'm broke, so I have to wait for a Steam sale or something.
