* TearJerker: The ending. [[spoiler:Tom Ripley has escaped suspicion for murdering and impersonating Dickie Greenleaf, and is on a boat to Athens with his lover Peter [who is the first person to love him for being Tom], when he runs into Meredith, who thinks Tom is Dickie, and coincidentally knows Peter. Worse, she's on the boat with her entire family - Peter has no-one but Tom. Resolved, Tom goes to Peter in his room and asks Peter to tell him "some nice things about Tom Ripley." Baffled, but playing along, Peter does so as Tom cuddles up to him. Cut to Tom entering his own room, miserable and shaken, as Peter's list (which makes it very clear that Tom's love for him is mutual) goes on in voiceover - and then changes to the sounds of Tom sobbing as he chokes Peter to death]].

** Ripley jokes that when Dickie wears his glasses, he looks like Clark Kent, and without them, he looks like Superman. Jude Law was up for the role of Clark Kent/Superman in an ultimately-unproduced ''Batman vs. Superman'' project in the 2000s, and even got to try on the Superman suit.
