Alternate Ending

Alternate Ending was formed when three friends realized that they all shared a passion for movies. Tim had been reviewing films at his old blog Antagony & Ecstasy for over a decade, and Rob & Carrie had found great success with their year-old podcast, when they all decided to combine forces to create a new site, dedicated to their desire to watch and discuss the best (and worst) that cinema has to offer. The result is the website you see before you. What makes Alternate Ending different from all the other film sites on the internet? Well, we humbly suggest that it's the three of us: very different people with very different thoughts about the movie. Too many film sites cater to the same kind of audience, with one overwhelming voice in the writing, but what we treasure at Alternate Ending is diversity: diversity of opinion, diversity in belief about what film should do and how it should do it. We want to celebrate our different opinions, and celebrate yours as well. This isn't a site for people who just want to talk about the latest hot new movies in theaters right this minute. This is a site for people who can't get to the theater until the third week a film is out; a site for people who just want to find something great to stream online after the kids have gone to sleep, a site for people whose favorite pastime is to grab a bunch of classic films on DVD from the library and watch them all weekend. It's a site that believes that every great movie is a wonderful new treasure, whether you see it the night of its premiere or fifty years later. It's a site about discovering good movies, one bad movie at a time.

Top 5 Most Traumatizing Films 0
Apr 11, 2023

Thanks to Patreon supporter Harold Bleacher, we're going to be prodding at some of our most sensitive emotional scar tissue in our next episode: by his request, we're going to spend our next podcast talking about the top 5 most traumatizing films we've ever seen. Expect many dead parents of wide-eyed animal children, gore effects whose cheesiness through adult eyes can't quite take the edge off of the shock they gave to a child's system, and the odd film that coldly and brutally diagnoses the darkest parts of humanity in ways that can unnerve and unsettle us even now.

Tune in!

Brennan's Top 5:

  1. From Beyond
  2. The Normal Heart
  3. Mamá
  4. Grave of the Fireflies 
  5. Seven Pounds 

Carrie's Top 5:

  1. Titanic 
  2. Open Water
  3. Saving Private Ryan
  4. Grave of the Fireflies

Tim's Top 5:

  1. Dumbo
  2. E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial
