• Movies with 'alternate' versions - not prequels, sequels, remakes or reboots

It's a weird opinion, but I have a(film critic) friend who prefers Resurrection over 3. So at least he doesn't think that.
Yeah, one of my friends loves Resurrection. I don't know, I'm more of an Alien fan, with Aliens being a very [I]very[/I] close second.
Breakfast Club has about an hour missing from the directors cut, the originals are lost.
Most grindhouse movies have several versions due to censorship and foreign titles.
Saturday Night Fever has a PG version that doesn't include a lot of things like the rape scenes in it.
Watchmen had three versions. The longest (ultimate cut) is about 3 hours long and contains about everything from the comic book, including the pirate comics that was used for transitions in the book, closure about characters that were completely scrapped off the original movie or barely showed, etc. [editline]28th July 2012[/editline] Also if fan edits count there is that massive fan cut of Star Wars that removes all the additional useless crap Lucas added in the latest release of the original star wars trilogy, fixes a ton of continuity errors and even improves the image quality. Can't remember the name though, I'll look into it. Also about I Am Legend, I've never watched the alternate ending (honestly I didn't even know it existed) but it does sound better than the original one. The Theatrical ending was already quite good in my opinion but it felt generic in the way that it's just another desperate story about how some guy lives alone then does something good then [sp]dies in a heroic way.[/sp] The movie would have been better if it emphasized more on the main character's psychological evolution and the changes of his understanding of what he was only considering dumb zombies up until the film started, while the theatrical release only mentions this twice in the entire thing and then only keeps it to survival and short recurring nightmares that don't bring anything.
