12) Brazil (1985)

Terry Gilliam's Brazil was known for its highly debated alternative ending. The theatrical version ends with Sam stuck in a dream, where he fantasizes about a happy escape while reality reveals his torture. An alternative cut—dubbed the "Love Conquers All" version—had given Sam a victorious and hopeful ending. This optimistic view did not sit well with Gilliam's satirical vision of dystopia; therefore, the darker ending remained. The final version was more thought-provoking, in keeping with the themes of oppression and the fragility of human hope in the film.
