Courtesy of The Guardian, some alternate endings for big movies. Would you pick a different denouement? Perhaps Tom Cruise’s character Maverick in Top Gun would say to Kelly McGillis’ Charlie (note male name): “Actually, I’m completely gay and planes are just big phalluses to me. I fancy Iceman really”. Or maybe Scarlett O’Hara, at the end of Gone With The Wind, might say: “Me go back to Tara? That kip? When I’ve got this big gothic mansion with a huge staircase to sweep down dramatically in long dresses? Fat chance.”

From the Guardian’s suggestions, I like the last one the most, where producers of The Blair Witch Project decide on a different ending after Heather and Mike think they find Josh in the old house:

Producer 1: Here’s my idea. We reshoot the ending with Kathy Bates as the witch. Producer 2: Scooby and Shaggy find the kids in the cellar.
Producer 3: And Wilma unmasks the witch who turns into Old Man Jones.
Producer 2: And he says, “I’d have got away with it, if it hadn’t been for you darned kids.”

Anyone got of their own suggestions?
