Directors Cuts of Iconic Films That Surpass The Originals

Fanny and Alexander

Ingmar Bergman won his third Academy Award for Best Foreign Film thanks to Fanny and Alexander. The theatrical release ran for 188 minutes and was deemed perfectly paced by critics and viewers. The full cut is a shocking 312 minutes (over five hours!). This was originally going to be a TV show but made for a better movie. Critics, who could hang for the five hours, adored the director's cut.
