Movies you like to see an uncut version of

[Rev. Darkstar]

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!"
