Directors Cuts of Iconic Films That Surpass The Originals

The Wild Bunch

The Wild Bunch is a classic western that totally captured audiences, even with its 135-minute release. The 145-minute cut actually has some extremely important storytelling components, including the death of a lover which incited a character's bloodlust. When that cut was submitted to the MPAA for the 25th-anniversary re-release, it was rated NC-17.
