Default what ending to a film would you like to change

can you think of any film where you would like the ending made differnt, I howled watching the end of Madame X with Lana Turner when her ex husband didnt tell the lawyer son that it was his mum he was defending in court for murder.

I don't think giving away the endings to films is a good idea for a thread Donna ... I taped Madame X a while ago but haven't watched it yet ..... now I know how it ends!

There will be lots of films some of us haven't seen .... if anyone does want to follow this thread please use the spoilers function.

Thanks.

Please do not give away the endings of films!

Donna, there isn't a special section for this. The spoilers function is a tool much like the edit option.

Don't worry on it.

I always like to know how a movie ends before I see it.

If I had known that Train of Life was just another Holocaust movie with an unhappy ending I would have saved my money and rented To Be Or Not To Be

In 'Casablanca' they weren't sure who Ilsa would choose at the end were they?

I'm fairly sure that's a myth based on Paul Henreid claiming in interviews that his contract said he had to get the girl, something Warner's legal department have no record of.

Unlikely that the Hollywood mores of the time would have had the wife leaving her husband for her lover. Interesting that there were four possible last lines between Rick and Renault suggested for the ending too.
