Directors Cuts of Iconic Films That Surpass The Originals

The Abyss

The studio needed this James Cameron flick to be more digestible for a commercial release so he had to cut it down. Despite all of the hard and dangerous work that his crew had to do (ask anyone, this was a nightmare set to be on) he still had to make some drastic cuts for the film. The director's cut includes a different ending and more focus on the relationship between characters. It runs for 171 minutes compared to the 145 minutes of the theatrical release.
