Factual error: In the final scene with the New York skyline in the background, the new glass/stainless steel Manhattan complex at 731 Lexington Avenue is seen; this building is just being finished now in early '06. The building stands where Alexander's dept store once was. (On a related note, it is a nice touch on Spielberg's part to overlay the Twin Towers onto the skyline in that same scene.)
Munich (2005)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Steven Spielberg
Starring: Daniel Craig, Eric Bana, Ciaran Hinds, Mathieu Kassovitz, Marie-Josee Croze
Of the original team, only Steve (Daniel Craig) and Avner (Eric Bana) survive. After failing to kill Ali Hassan, they end their mission and Avner goes to Brooklyn to see his wife and child. Increasingly unstable and haunted by the Munich massacre, (and one assumes, his own guilt) he meets with Ephraim (Geoffrey Rush) and asks for evidence that the men he killed were responsible for Munich. Ephraim says that they were and in either case, that while they were alive Jews would die. He asks Avner to return to Israel, but Avner refuses and they walk off in separate directions. Then message appears on screen saying:"Nine of the eleven palasterian terrorists who were targeted for assasination were killed.Including Ali Hassen in 1979"

Ephraim: We deposit money from a fund that doesn't exist into a box we don't know about in a bank we've never set foot in. We can't help you because we never heard of you before.
Trivia: In this film, the word 'Sabra' is used a few times. Sabra means a Jewish person who was actually born in Israel, and not one born in another country who then later moved to the Holy Land.

Answer: It's a bit difficult to find out this sort of information as not all films released disclose what they use to edit on. Michael Kahn is perhaps the most famous editor around to edit on flatbed machines and switched to digital editing for time constraints. Many film schools still teach and use flatbed editing so you may still see short films edited on film, just not feature length movies for a variety of reasons.
