Aliens: Director’s Cut (1986)
Seventeen minutes of footage James Cameron found it difficult to cut from the original Aliens is back in Aliens: The Director’s Cut. Originally released on Laserdisc on a limited run, many of us had to wait until the 1999 DVD release. Extra scenes include Ripley in a virtual reality garden, back story about Newt’s family, and a tunnel scene where automated gun turrets vainly try to fend off the alien threat.

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?
