Little Shop of Horrors (1986). Gosh, I love this movie. I first was introduced to the story when I saw the play back in 2001 at my first college. I had never heard of it before, and I was amazed at how the story weaved horror, comedy, romance, musical, tragedy, and parody so well and come out on top. Subsequently saw the film and loved it as well, though I immediately noticed, "Hey, wait a minute! A happy ending? I thought it ended in tragedy!" I later learned that the original ending had been like the Off-off-Broadway and my college's production: a tragedy. However, test audiences despised the original ending and Frank Oz and his crew had to refilm the ending, this time with a much jollier finish.
And though I understood the reasons for the change, for years I'd wanted to see the deleted ending. Well, they recently released the deleted ending on BD. Bought it. Watched it. Loved it! It's fun to see the tragic ending, the way Oz had originally intended to end it all. Admittedly the happier ending is probably the better ending, at least for a movie, yet it was nice to see things end the way I'd remembered seeing it thirteen years ago at a junior college (minus the surprisingly good special effects, of course).
Gotta add, MySpleen has an incomplete workprint posted recently, as well as the bonus features to a quickly pulled DVD released that included the alternate ending in B/W without permission. Both are worthwhile downloads.
Something I really wish is that I could see a live performance. There are a number of songs I remember from the play that were not included in the movie. I probably will need to purchase the soundtrack for the recent Broadway revival so I can hear those songs again.
Uh, oh. Baby's awake. "Feed me, Daddy! Feed me now!"

It includes all or most of the differences between the theatrical release and the workprint (and somehow the uploader obtained a complete workprint, which I cannot find). It's fun to compare. The sad ending is present, but is actually shorter than the BD Director's Cut, interestingly. I think it would be awesome if someone combined the various sources to create an extended cut. But I suspect that's just wishful thinking.
