Wormholes -Gateways to Other Worlds
The best description of wormholes in science fiction was the movie Contact, based on a novel by Carl Sagan. While Sagan was writing the novel, he consulted an expert in General Relativity, Kip Thorne, at Caltech, to make sure that the way wormholes were treated in Contact was actually as close to being scientifically correct as possible. Ellie, played by Jodie Foster, travels through a series of wormholes to a place near the center of the Milky Way galaxy, where the crew meets the senders of a message to Earth guised as persons significant in the lives of the travelers.
Now, new studies from French and German physicists suggest that some unexplained objects in the universe might actually be "wormholes" -portals to other universes.

Filmcritic.com has crafted descriptions of the top fifty all-time great movie endings. You'll love this...here's how they described number 50, The Blair Witch Project- "The movie isn't particularly scary... at least until the last two minutes, which take the tension level from 10 to 100 at an exponential pace. The final seconds -- wherein a member of the cast is spotted, back turned and facing a corner, as an unseen spirit does away with the remaining member of the crew, who's been filming all of this in a panic-stricken run through an abandoned house -- rank as some of the most terrifying moments ever put to film. It gives me chills just to write about it."
