**Moulin Rouge** - Hope Christian and Satine live happily ever after!  
**Romeo and Juliet** - Hope the kids live happily ever after!

**The Usual Suspects** I’m glad that poor Mr Kint escaped those Hungarian/Argentinian criminals  
**Lethal Weapon** I gave up after I realised it was gonna be nothing more than a schmaltzy film about some old guy’s retirement.

**Titanic**

What a sweet love story. I hope Kate and Leo sold that necklace and had a happy life after they got done with that cruise.

**The Natural** Too bad Robert Redford ended up in the hospital. Now gruff but lovable Wilford Brimley will never win the pennant.

**Trading Places** Those bastard Duke Brothers ended up screwing Dan Ackroyd and Eddie Murphy AND cornered the market in frozen orange juice concentrate

**Citizen Kane** He’s rich, powerful and married to Susan Alexander. What more could a man want?

**Manchurian Candidate** I don’t know about you, but I’d love to have that nice Angela Lansbury as my mother.

**The Music Man** Now that Marian has the goods on Harold, it’s just a question of whether she can get the proof to Mayor Shinn before Harold catches the next train out of town.

**Star Wars** (Episodes I-III) Anakin’s mother may be a slave, but you know with his cleverness and his strong love for her, he’ll grow up to be the moral leader of the Jedi.

**West Side Story** Good thing Tony stopped the fight between Riff and Bernardo before someone got hurt.

Uh, that’s impossible. Wesley died when his ship was attacked on the way to America!

Or, alternatively, if you turned it off even earlier:

Man, that Tyler Durden’s awesome! More men need to turn to fight clubs to express themselves in today’s emasculating society.

True story. No, it really, really happened.\*

**Private Benjamin** : Benjamin and her french lover get married and live happily ever after.

- The film broke, and the projectionist couldn’t fix it. Everyone was told the movie was pretty much over, anyway. It was over 10 years later that I finally saw the whole thing.

The Godfather - Michael can finally put his family’s Mafia past behind him, get a normal job, and settle down with Kay.

12 Monkeys - Bruce Willis no doubt stopped Brad Pitt in a dramatic fight scene at the last moment, saved the world, and then married Madeline Stowe.

Why does this make me think of “Won’t somebody help that poor man?” from **Blazing Saddles**?
