Directors Cuts of Iconic Films That Surpass The Originals

Once Upon a Time in America

Once Upon a Time in America was released in its entirety at the 1984 Cannes Film Festival. The Ladd Company decided to cut the 269-minute film down to 139. Critics were put off and fans were angered by the studio's decision. A 226-minute version of the film was brought to VHS in 1991, but that obviously was still missing 40 minutes of showtime.
