I probably watched Fatal Attraction way too young. I remembered it being on TV and was fascinated with Glenn Close. I'm also sure that I won't be able to stomach watching it now.
Fatal Attraction turns 25 today, and there is an interesting tidbit about the changed ending. In the original ending, Glenn Close's character, Alex, committed suicide using a knife that had Dan's fingerprints on it to pin him for murder. Dan was arrested for murder, but his wife, Beth (Anne Archer) found a tape of Alex stating that she would kill herself if she wasn't with Dan. Test audience apparently hated this ending, and it was changed to the ending that is shown in the theatres - Alex attacking Dan, and Beth killing Alex. Glenn Close apparently objected to the new ending because she felt the original ending was more true to Alex, but eventually relented.
