( Have you seen the best classic movie every year since 1950?)Ĭlick here to see the 25 greatest director’s cuts It all goes to show that there’s no single recipe or approach for a film’s success.
Compare it to “Blade Runner: The Final Cut,” a director’s cut that’s widely regarded as the best version of Ridley Scott’s sci-fi classic. For instance, many would argue that the theatrical version of “Donnie Darko” – which doesn’t over-explain its central mystery – is superior to the director’s cut.
Of course, giving a director full rein over their creation doesn’t automatically translate to a better film. ( See who won the Oscar for Best Director every year since the Oscars began.) In some cases, as with “Aliens,”the director and his team actually complete and then implement previously unfinished visual effects after the film has come out. A number of these changes made to movies long after their initial theatrical release involve changed endings or the reinsertion of previously cut footage – though some actually shorten their runtimes to create a tighter viewing experience. It’s then no surprise that many of these directors feel as though the end result isn’t necessarily “finished” in the true sense of the concept.Įnter the director’s cut, which gives viewers a chance to witness the work as it was originally intended. In order to please audiences, directors are often asked to change endings or leave swaths of footage on the cutting room floor. Even cinema’s foremost masterpieces generally represent a compromise between artistic vision and economic demand.
