Message: [QUOTE="tbonezone, post: 166907, member: 1028"] i'll cite one example of where i think the "[B]happy ending[/B]" actually ruins the film. FATAL ATTRACTION. for anyone unfamiliar with the story this film shot in 1987 by adrian lyne is the scariest movie ever ! imo jason and freddie are . they mainly kill nonvirgin teens. however alex forrest (glenn close) is an absolute nightmare to any happily married man. the original cut had alex killing herself (ala the whole madame butterfly thing) and mr brief onenight skankster dan gallagher (michael douglas) arrested for killing her. however this ending had to be reshot after the release becuz the audiences didn't react well to dan losing his happy family and going off to jail. so instead we get that crazy bathtub psycho scene . glenn close and anne archer (mrs gallagher) both vehemently protested the reshoot yet the original ending sadly now only appears on dvds extras. for me it was the far more satisfying (and logical) conclusion.
