The other day on The Five they had a viewer question for the panel. “For what movie would you change the ending?”
I’ve only picked a few starting from about 1960-2000.
The first title that jumped to my mind was Old Yeller. Talk about traumatic for a child!!! That movie DESTROYED me!! I told Lia to NEVER read that book or watch that movie.
West Side Story was a good movie with awesome music, but I sure wish Tony had lived. Or, if they were going to stay true to the Shakespeare play, have BOTH Tony and Maria die.
Marooned. When Richard Crenna sacrificed himself so the other 2 astronauts would live I was highly incensed. And depressed.
The Perfect Storm. If you’ve seen this, you know what I’m talking about.
Bridge to Terabithia. This ranks right up there with Old Yeller. Heartbreaking. Yes, things were hopeful for the boy and his little sister, but the friend DIDN’T HAVE TO DIE to accomplish that!
And yes, while there were movies I saw that I wished had had better/happier endings, if they were at all based on fact or history, I accepted the ending. Like The Great Escape.
So, what movies come to your mind that you’d like to change?
