Directors, if you're somehow at a loss for how to end your movie, Peter Salomone has your answer: Dire Strait's "The Walk of Life".

Salomone took a whole bunch of famous movie endings and tossed in the surprisingly versatile song "The Walk of Life" to create The Walk of Life Project. With a joke as simple as its mission statement, you'd think the videos would run the risk of quickly become predictable or stale. However, each movie finds its own way to make the 1985 song shine.
