unrated/extended/director's cut DVD's where you noticed no difference?
This is to a point where you have seen the original cut, but when the unrated version comes out, while the cover boasts "now with 10 minutes of never before seen footage", and nothing stood out
I'd say the winner for me at least was hellboy. I rented the regular version, and then again the new dc and didn't notice any new footage that stood out.

Differences in "American Pie" were very minimal- I thought the pie scene in the rated version was funnier.
One of the first DVDs I bought was "Kalifornia" because it was one of the first to include both theatrical and unrated cuts on the same disc, but having watched both several times I still can't tell the difference between the two.

Trainspotting: International Version. If the differences hadn't been pointed out, I wouldn't have noticed.
Star Wars Episodes I and II. I have no idea what was different between the theatrical versions and the "DVD versions," except something about Anakin's robotic hand at the end of II.
American Pie 2

Also I recall the editing in the gas station murder sequence near the middle/end of the film to be edited differently and more menacing when Pitt points the shotgun at the clerks head and shoots him.
There may have been additional explicit dialogue in a few places as well.
Either way,there is a 1 minute difference between the two versions. I remember renting the R version and liking the film. Then found the unrated version and rented it and felt abit cheated. Since while it was more explicit in a few places. It didn't seem worth the extra effort renting the film when I was not really in the mood for it and was just watching for the difference.
But when in the mood to watch it,the unrated version would be the way to go.

SAW R2 Unrated Vs. SAW R1 Rated R. The differences between the two versions are so extremely minimal(almost non-existant), the tag "Unrated" really does'nt seem to apply.

In Ep. II, there was some sparks added to Jango's jet pack during the arena battle after he gets ran over by the rhino creature, denoting that the jet pack was damaged, hence allowing Mace Windu to cut his head off, instead of Jango just being able to fly off.

When I first watched the DC of Kate & Leopold I noticed nothing new. On the other hand, the TC looked totally different to me. Apparently, for whatever unknown reason, the version shown theatrically in Puerto Rico was the DC.
Another DC that left me totally confused was the DC of The Crow: City Of Angels. To this day I still can't tell what was changed.

Some of the European slang in Trainspotting was changed for the American release as well, to make it more "understandable". I have the Criterion laserdisc which is the international version, but the closed-captions show the dialogue used in the American version!

I don't really see any differences in this print of The Magnificent Ambersons that I found in my uncle's garage. It's about 45 minutes longer, but I guess I don't know the shorter version well enough to really tell the difference.

It means nothing. They could add in a 20 minute (or 20 second) shot of a nice tree on a breezy day. It would still be unrated if not submitted to the ratings board in its final form.
