25 best director’s cut movies
Metropolis (1927)
The most extraordinary director's cut on this list – Fritz Lang's iconic sci-fi film was originally released in a 153-minute cut before being shredded by American distributors. Almost 80 years later, the original cut was rediscovered in an Argentinian museum – restoring vital subplots and characters excised from the original, including the creepy Thin Man.

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?
