1) Blade Runner (1982)

In contrast, the alternate ending provided much more hope than what viewers received from the theatrical version of Blade Runner. In the original cut, Deckard and Rachael drive into the dystopian future while a different final scene was planned for that one. Ridley Scott's concept depicted the movie with a more desolate ending where Deckard found out about Rachael's fate. This change would have made the film darker, but the studio forced a more optimistic conclusion instead. The hopeful note in the final version has since been regarded as a fitting end, contrasted with the bleakness of the world that the film is set in.
