I so agree!  I refuse to see the 90s version of "A Little Princess" 
on the grounds that Captain Crewe doesn't die.  It was also changed 
in the 30s Shirley Temple version, but since it was the Depression, I 
can understand the reasons why.  Also "Fried Green Tomatoes" didn't 
kill off Ninny Threadgoode (Jessica Tandy) and I was very upset.  
Mainly because I wasted perfectly good tears on a non-event!  

Trina, who will never see "The Horse Whisperer" for above reasons.
