A lot of movies are chopped to hell and sitting in the studio is the footage that had to be cut to get that R or PG-13 rating. What movies, that haven't been, do you think should get released as an uncut version? I think a version of Cherry Falls should be released with all the gore intact. Also I think an R-rated cut of Can't hardly wait should be released.
Houston 620.
All of the slasher films of the 70s and 80s.
Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me (cut for running time, not gore)
Most of the movies I ever wanted to see uncut have already received the treatment with new releases or I just buy a copy from a source that has it uncut. I would still like to see original Japanese versions of some of the godzilla films that were changed drastically be released though.
Given that I live in the UK, I would like to see any movie uncut...
I would like to see Braindead with the original opening, the one set in the dark ages.
Chasing Amy. I know it doesn't have any gore, but I'd like to see the Pre-credits scene set at Comic Toast and Hooper's longer rant about black comic book characters. (time did them in)
I'd like to see a DVD release of Romy and Michele's High School Reunion where they put the lesbian love scene back in.
Ok, so technically that scene never existed, but if they made a fake one for the DVD special edition, and put it in anyway, I betcha it'd sell a lot better.
I'd like to see uncut versions of most everything released on DVD in the "Wade Williams Collection", because as hard-core enthusiasts know, those titles have all been edited, altered, what-have-you.
Also "The Master Killer". The best parts of this kung fu classic are the training chambers where Gordon Lui does all this crazy s**t. I guess the HK and also UK versions were longer with chambers that weren't in the American one. It's Gordon Lui's best, no doubt.
Not movies, but tv shows I'd like to see in movie:
New York Undercover (with Malik Yoba and Michael DeLorenzo together) (R)
N.Y.P.D. Blue (R)
(Both of them in uncut versions too)
HOLLOW MAN
Actually, I would have thought that movie would have been better with fewer gratuitous shots of Kevin Bacon's weiner. Couldn't quite tell if he was 'uncut.'
I'd be curious to see David Lynch's take on Dune with some of the missing footage added in. That would, of course, depend on whether the footage consists of the missing scenes that would better explain the characters' actions and make the movie more coherent.
I own a VHS restored version of "Dune" which is 135'. Looks that it has not aditional footage and that it is more or less the same old film. Anyway, it looks like the additional footage does not precisely improve the film. There are many websites which explain the main differences between the different "Dune" cuts, and they are very interesting. This one is the best I've found:

You can buy the 'Alan Smithee' edit of dune from Blackstar, its got an hour or so extra footage in it.
I rented the Alan Smithee version, and it wasn't much better. I had read that there was still much more cut out of the film.
I haven't actually read the book (it's part of a growing list of things I want to read) but a few months ago, I rented the miniseries (4 hours?) released in 2000, and noticed that things made much more sense. People actually have good reasons for the things they were doing if the movie is given a chance to explain. Unfortunately, that version was really cheaply done, and, with a few exceptions, I liked the overall look of the Lynch version much better, as well as the cast, costumes, etc. Being familiar with Lynch's work, I suppose a longer running time is not necessarily a guarantee that it will make more sense, but it would be interesting to see how the movie would play at 5 hours in length.
I do know that he had final approval of his CG weiner used in the going invisible scenes. I wouldn't mind if that stuff was cut, but I expected so much MORE from a Verhoeven invisible man movie.
Lynch's does have a better look, but the miniseries is far more faithful to the book.
The Miniseries version on SciFi was interesting. Baron H. was as bombastic a sadistic bastard as the Lynch version. I wondered is the Lynch actor was playing him! Also snuck in some details of the Baron's "Predilictions", so to speak. Nice expansion of the plot...but is even 5 hours enough? Good set design, but the Samauri Hardeharhar...He he, sorry....Shardukar, came across as the average expendable evil minions. "Imperial cannon fodder". Did Shaddup...er..Shaddam the 4th get a discount from Emp. Palpatain? Not that the Lynch version was any less expendable.........anyhoo, I'd recomend, if ya' can find it, DOON, by the Harvard Lampoon. Where every one gets Red eyed on the mind altering substance known as BEER! By those same loons who brought you...well, me...BORED OF THE RINGS......Bwahhahahaha! Works for me!
If only computer technology were advanced enough to merge the two, combining the look and the performances of Lynch's version with the script of the miniseries.
I would love to see the full uncut version of Tetsuo, the japanes cult classic.
I don't care about uncut movies at the moment... I'm too busy laughing at your name.
Good job of finding a name that sticks out.
"It stinks!"
