The Columbia Guide to Standard American English

penultimate, ultimate (adjs.)   
 
Penultimate is not more ultimate than ultimate: 
ultimate means "last," 
and penultimate means "next-to-last." 

Rhyme the first syllable of penultimate with either den or dean, and stress the second syllable.  


Like his penultimate film, The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie, That Obscure Object of Desire is not as dense or confusing as Buñuel's earlier works, and is more accessible to general audiences.
