Good folks; You know how sometimes your sitting and enjoying a film….but the ending then leaves you either somewhat cold, unfulfilled and/or generally rather pissed off?
Well good news! - Now’s your chance to put things right.
Yes indeedy; simply list your offending film and give a brief description of how YOU would have ended it   |

* Spoiler alert for The Mist and Shawshank Redemption.
A lot of American films pander to their US audiences need for happy endings. Frank Darabont originally wanted the ending of The Shawshank Redemption to finish when Red is on the train, not when he’s walking down the beach. He never wanted a full resolution but just a hopeful one for Red.
So when he did The Mist, with full creative control, he gave us one hell of a great ending. The studio wanted a less depressing ending but Darabont went against their demands and in my opinion made a decent B Movie into a really devastating but great B Movie.
So I’d have killed Julia Roberts character in Pretty Woman at the end. Richard Gere as the killer seen walking away picking up another call girl.  |

Lord of the Rings.
The Hobbits arrive at the Council of Elrond.
They sit around the circle with the Men, the Elves and the Dwarfs to discuss how they will deliver the Ring across hostile country, through Mordor, which they concede will take many months by boat and on foot.
After due deliberation Gandalf says “let’s summon the Eagles to carry the Ring Bearer to Mount Doom, where he can drop it into the mouth of the volcano”.
So they do. |

Butch Cassidy and The Sun Dance Kid: Things are looking mightily grim for our titular protagonists at the end of the film, as they are faced with the might of what seems to be the entire Bolivian army.
….but then big Arnie shows up to level the playing field… |

Gran Torino: Clint confronts the gang of scumbags at the end but just as he is about to pull out the cigarette lighter and make the ultimate sacrifice, he suddenly remembers that he is in fact Inspector Harry Callahan and that his memories were being chemically suppressed by the corrupt city Mayor was also in the CIA and a likely Democrat.
Clint subsequently pulls out his trusty 44. Magnum and really goes to town on the mutherfuckers |

ET: In a more mechanically realistic turn of events at the end, that tin pot looking alien ship malfunctions and fails to take off, leaving all the extra terrestrials aboard stranded on earth with out lovable titular hero.
….Unfortunately, they are promptly seized by the US Military who take them to Area 51 and subject them all to cruel experimentation and autopsies 
Fear not though, ET himself, seeing this highly inhospitable treatment subsequently drops his nice guy persona and picking up an assault rifle and some grenades, goes full on Rambo mode on everyone.
The End |

Jaws: In a heartwarming and wholly politically correct twist at the end, Chief Brody realises that the shark is merely misunderstood and can not be held to blame for it’s highly unsocial acts of chomping on the citizens of Amity.
He therefore enrols it into an anger management class, where it learns to control its primal urges and later becomes a vegan activist. |

"Law abiding citizen wish he didn’t die at the end and he locked jamie fox in the cell with the fire instead "
Agreed!
And his collaboration with Kanye West, Goldigger plays on the soundtrack as the bomb goes off for added effect  |

Bridge is OK. Remember it’s an alternative ending. |
