25 best director’s cut movies
Blade Runner: The Final Cut (1982)
Originally scheduled for a 2002 release, legal disputes meant we didn’t see Blade Runner: The Final Cut until 2007. A good thing, too – as a result, we got special effects scanned at 8000fps – four times that used in normal restorations. A scene with a stripper running down the street was actually re-shot twenty years after the original film's release – with the original actress.

Good list, but what about Donnie Darko?
The director's cut put back all the original music and added loads of extra content to help people clue together what it was all about.

Good shout, actually, TC72. What would you drop to make room for it, though?
