25 best director’s cut movies
Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid (1973)
Sam Pekinpah and MGM came to blows during the making of Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid, with the studio re-editing the director’s film into a turkey. Its acclaimed 1988 re-release was of Pekinpah’s original, and it’s a classic with a fatal flaw – the director had cut star Bob Dylan’s soundtrack jewel, the much-covered Knocking on Heaven’s Door.

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?
