Pick a Movie you like, and imagine YOU were in charge of making it. What changes in the plot would you make?

I'll start this off with Toy Story 2. There's the scene where Jessie (The Yodeling Cowgirl) reminisces about her original owner, a girl named Emily, and how she wound up in a Charity Drop Box after Emily grew up. I would have had this scenario go full-circle, revealing that Emily is Andy's Mother!

I would also have a scene where Al arrives at the Toy Museum in Japan. He meets the Curator, they get ready to do business and when Al opens the case the toys are in to show the Curator they discover there's nothing inside!

The Running Man- I would get ride of Ahnold and cast closer to the character in the book, an everyday family man, not some musclebound. I would get rid of the cartoony wrestling villains, and set the movie the way it's supposed to be- out in the streets where anyone and everyone is out to get our hero. And I would go back to the book's original ending.

Oh man, that's easy!
I would take the first Star Wars trilogy movies and change them back into the original productions, and then tell George Lucas to keep his damn hands off of them. Don't fix what isn't broken!

And then I would burn the next three "prequel" Star Wars movies.;)

Halloween II - Laurie Strode wouldn't have been the sister of Michael Myers, just the final girl that he was bound and determined to kill. It's a lot scarier when you're led to believe he's relentlessly going after her (as well as others) for no good reason other than he's insane. That said, the movie was a very decent sequel and should have just ended right then and there. We wouldn't have had all the other films that played around with the continuity of the first two and the whole Thorn cult/pure evil junk that turned Michael from a random insane murderer into some partial supernatural being who could keep coming back.

Chinatown - I would give it a happy ending. As a matter of fact, it was originally supposed to have a happy ending, but Roman Polanski suggested giving it a darker ending.

That's another thing I'd like to bring up. Many of Polanski's films ended on a sad and depressing note, both pre-1977 and post-1977.

"FLOWERS IN THE ATTIC" Instead of killing the mother, I would have had the grandmother killed. She was the more evil.
