Alternate Movie endings...better or worst?

So many directors wondered whether they should keep "Ending A" or "Ending B". You wouldn't imagine how many directors hesitated and a few of them, in our humble opinion, made the RIGHT choice! These endings could have changed the whole and even, make a masterpiece become into a piece of trash. We will show you a few examples... however, there are (of course) spoilers in this post. Do not watch it unless you saw these films (which we suppose you did!). 


Number 1: Titanic (1997)


Yes folks, Titanic has indeed another ending. What would it be? If you were thinking whether DiCaprio survives...forget it! DiCaprio still lies at the bottom of the ocean. So what is different? Here's the answer. To be frank, thank you James Cameron for not choosing this horrible ending!!
                                                       
                                            
                                                                     Original


                     

                                                                       VS
                                                 
                                                           Alternate ending


                                       

Are you relieved? 



Number 2: Terminator (1984)



The same James Cameron comes with an alternate ending! This ending is terrific. Kyle, sent back from the future to protect Sarah Connor from the machine Terminator, survives. Instead of an optimistic ending, Kyle - who doesn't die in this ending - decides to do something in order to avoid the end of the world (though it would have meant no Terminator saga).

                                                                     Original


                                                                    VS
  

                                                             Alternate ending



 Number 3: Blade Runner (1982/2007) 


Apparently there are more than 7 versions of this film. The cult film directed by Ridley Scott has been subject to many cuts but with two endings. The Final Cut is the version preferred by Scott and by us too! The first one is known as the 'happy ending', where Ford and Young travel to the countryside to start a new life together. This scene starts right with the alternate ending. The other one is much more darker and leaves mystery.There is much more uncertainty about the fate of the two characters. The 2007 ending is much more coherent with the dark tone of the film.

                                                                Original (1982)
                                    

                                                                       VS


                                                             Final Cut (2007)

                                       


So what do you think so far? Do you want more?
