Are (literal) cliff hangers still used as cliffhangers?

One of the closest recent examples to a literal cliffhanger on TV might be the Green Wing finales of season 1 and season 2 from 2004 and 2006, respectively. From a TV Tropes page on the subject:

The first season finale of Green Wing was a literal cliffhanger, with three characters in an ambulance about to go off a cliff. The second season also ends in a literal cliffhanger with a stolen campervan which happened in an almost identical fashion.

Closest because it seems to fit the criteria best: they ended not only the episode but the season with major characters hanging off a cliff with their fates unknown, twice. It's worth mentioning, though, that Green Wing is somewhat absurd and parodic in nature. Here's the ambulance:

I can recall a few instances of using cliffs/cliffhangers within an episode of a tv show or film, but I'm struggling to think of an episode or a film that ends in a cliffhanger, except Big Little Lies, Hannibal, Game of Thrones, and possibly Alias.

Cliffhangers in episodes

LOST - 1x05 "White Rabbit" John saves Jack when he goes a over a cliff after chasing his father.

2x21 "?" John Dreams of Echo climbing the cliff from where the airplane fell and looks down to reveal the Pear Dharma station. In the dream Eco falls, playing on John's conscious in terms of what happened to Boone and foreshadowing Eko's role, as the plane was the plane his brother left Nigeria on.

Game of Thrones - Wall Climbing/Crumbling Motifs

3x06 "The Climb" - Jon, Ygritte, and Wildlings Climb Crumbling Wall. Ygriite Falls, Jon is able to hold onto them both.

7x07 "The Dragon and the Wolf" - End of Episode/Season 7 Finale - The knight King and Ice Dragon Collapse Wall/East Watch - Fates of Characters at Wall (Tormund, Beric, Edd) currently unknown.

Note: Philosophy "The Climb is All There Is" = Thematic.

Stranger Things 1x06 "Chapter 6" - Eleven Saves Mike From Jumping Off Cliff

Big Little Lies (Mini series) Episode 1.04 "Push Comes to Shove" - Episode Literally Ends with Jane about to jump off a Cliff!

Note: Cliffs are thematic to Big Little Lies foreshadowing the murder sequence and adds a great deal of suspense in many scenes.

Hannibal (TV Series) - 3x13 "The Wrath of the Lamb" - End of Episode - Will and Hannibal Fall Together Off A Cliff After the Murder of 'The Tooth Fairy'.

Alias 5.01 "Prophet Five" - Sydney Tells Vaughn She's Pregnant, Before They Both Escape Their Enemies by Jumping Off A Cliff. I believe this one is a cliffhanger, even though it happens in the middle of the episode. I think the remainder of the episode focuses on other characters. (But it's been a while since I watched).

Other In-Film/Episode Scenes:

Star Trek (Kelvinverse - Film Franchise) - Young Kirk Iowa Flashback (Star Trek), Kirk & "Bones" Chase/Jump Opening Sequence (Star Trek Into Darkness), USS Franklin Jump-Start Cliff/LOST Dharma Van Parallel (Star Trek Beyond)

Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides - Blackbeard Makes Jack Jump

The Lion King - Scar Murder Mufasa Death Scene

LOST - Hurley Nearly Commits Suicide ("Dave"), Sawyer & Kate Jump Escape (finale season)

I'm sure there are more. If I think of them, I will edit my post.

Just about every episode of Between the Lions

The children's television show Between the Lions (2000-2010), which was all about teaching kids how to read, had a recurring sketch called "The Adventures of Cliff Hanger":

The sketch always ends with him literally hanging from a cliff and yelling out "Can't…hold…on…much…longer!"

This isn't a very good answer, but I figured someone ought to be the first to mention:

• The Italian Job (1969) ends with the protagonist in a bus cantilevered over the edge of a cliff — and the movie ends with this literal cliffhanger unresolved!

• Both Jurassic Park and Jurassic Park II have set pieces involving vehicles going over cliffs and dangling; but they don't cut away from these scenes, so they can't really count as "cliffhangers".

• I have vague memories of Cliffhanger (1993), starring Sylvester Stallone, but I don't recall any cutaways that would have counted as actual "cliffhangers" in this sense. Maybe someone who's seen it more recently could comment. :)

Also, the TVTropes page for Literal Cliffhanger lists several Dr. Who episodes and an episode of MacGyver from 1991 that all seem to fit the bill.

I remember that in Arrow, Season 3 Episode 9 "The Climb", people joked that it had a literal cliffhanger. This was in 2014.

But, I am not sure if you would count it as literal, because the character doesn't hang on to the cliff, but gets kicked down.
