Best "deleted scene" ever included on a DVD/Blu-Ray

Situations like that are why I got out of studio work.

 

The deleted scenes for "Life Of Brian" are all great!

 

The bit in Up in the Air where George Clooney gets a desk job and buys a house. Changes the entire film.

All the deleted scenes to Deep Blue Sea. Doesn't really improve what's a terrible film but it makes a lot more sense seeing the missing 7-8 minutes.

 

A vein is popping out of my forehead as I read this. Bleh! How revolting!



Oh and I agree about that High Fidelity scent posted.

 

"This video is not available in your country."

Huh...?

 

Stigmata with Patricia Arquette had a much stronger alternate ending presented on the DVD. While it wouldn't have elevated the movie into a horror staple, it would've made it a memorable film.

The decisions to delete scenes vary so widely and with so many consequences, seen and unseen, but always a pleasure to be able to view them later and form your own opinion.
I sometimes think about classic favorites, where no alternate takes or deleted scenes are available and wish they were.

 

Try this one...

Every time I see this, I say to myself I need to read the book, but haven't ever gotten around to it.

 

Thank you for posting this ..

 

Tangerine was featured in the last montage of scenes at the end showing William with his family at home, Stillwater on stage, and Russell watching William from the cab as it leaves William's house.

And I'm glad the band allowed it to be there as it is the perfect ending song for the movie IMO...

 

Led Zeppelin songs in Almost Famous (according to IMDB)...

That's the Way
Misty Mountain Hop
The Rain Song
Bron-Y-Aur (where is this one in the movie?)
Tangerine

and the deleted scene...

Stairway To Heaven

"The main one was 'Stairway to Heaven' but we worked around it and I wasn't too upset, because Led Zeppelin had already given us four songs at a nice price but they said, 'Stairway to Heaven' we're not going to give to anybody, and we had already shot a scene that was to 'Stairway to Heaven' so what was great was we ended up putting the scene on the DVD and saying 'Put your record on NOW and score it yourself' which is good, but no, I think we generally have gotten everything."

I also enjoy that Cameron Crowe's mother is in that deleted scene, sitting and observing a fictionalization of an event from her own life.

 

Not surprising the Greatest film ever "The Godfather" has the best deleted scenes Too bad there's no saga or even a re mastered BR with these scenes ,The best we got was on the USA network

 

This.

WHO'S ON TOP AND WHO'S ON BOTTOM NOW?!?!?!?!?!?!

 

Ditto. What gives??

 

All the way back to 1968. Hell In The Pacific. Toshiro Mifune and Lee Marvin in a little masterpiece of a movie, until the final few seconds, a jarring, disappointing, artistically lazy WTF ending. The DVD includes the director's original ending which is far superior in every aspect.

 

IIRC, the Doors movies deleted scenes were better than the movie itself.

 

The music sync is a bit off!

That's why the video release of "Wayne's World" ended up like this:

The Get Off My Cloud sequence in The Boat that Rocked.
Also 75% of the extras on the Levon Helm dvd are great, especially the version of Twilight sung by his family.

 

The alternate ending for I am Legend comes to mind. Completely changes the point of the movie.

Sidways has some interesting deleted scenes, but I am glad they didn't make the final cut. Kind of helped me appreciate how much goes into making a great movie.

 

Another contender is the commercial on the Walk Hard DVD for
Dewey Cox Sausages:

 

Around 2000/2001, there was a movie about the Cuban missile crisis called "Thirteen Days".

It starred Kevin Costner as a fictional aide/confidant to the Kennedy brothers.

I happened to be visiting some family in California that Christmas, and caught the film in L.A. before it
went national a month or so later.

A year or so later, I was watching a DVD of the movie, and I went to the deleted scenes section. Much to
my amazement, one of the scenes that was in the "deleted scenes" area of the disc, was in the limited release cut of the
film I had seen.

At this point, I forget what the scene was, but when I had the DVD in my house, I was 100 percent certain that I had
seen the "deleted scene" in the movie theater.

I didn't attend a test screening... just a sparsely attending matinee screening at a small theater in a mall.
