I've kept all the original releases of the Star Trek movies. Star Trek II & VI are different versions that the collector's editions - but I've kept all of them.

I was considering keeping the theatrical versions of the Lord of the Rings movies along with the EEs, but instead I'm going to give them to my mom.
Edit:
I've also kept the Lawrence of Arabia: LE and Lawrence of Arabia: Superbit.

Well, it depends on what the old had and what the new one doesn't, so-to-speak.
The ones I've kept are:
T2-UE to T2-EE
[b]Daredevil-SE[b] to Daredevil-DC because the DC lacks the extensive 2nd disc special features and two different commentaries.
LOTR-TCs to LOTR-EEs for obvious and well-known reasons
oh I forgot...
Das Boot-DC to Das Boot-Superbit to Das Boot-Uncut Version. I don't have the old DC on my shelf anymore, and as a matter of fact, don't even know where it is.
And that's really about it.
I dumped my Hellboy-SE because the Hellboy-DC had everything the SE had plus more.
I didn't keep the original releases of the Matrix Trilogy because the stuff on the Ultimate Collection was so much more indepth, and the lose of fluff stuff was inconsequential.

I kept disc 2 of the LOTR threatrical releases for the extras. I wish I would have kept the Underworld theatrical cut for the commentaries that were not carried over to the extended cut.

I only have the DC / Bust version BTW.
Edit: Yes, DVD Rewind shows that the SE had an "Audio commentary by Guillermo del Toro (director) and Mike Mignola (co-executive producer) "
Hmm... I would like to listen to that, actually

I've double dipped on Clerks, gave my original copy to a friend at work, and also dipped on LOTR and plan on keeping them. Now what's gonna happen when Star Wars comes out? Who knows.....

Echoes of others:
Amadeus / Amadeus: Director's Cut
Apocalypse Now / Apocalypse Now: Redux
Das Boot: Director's Cut / Das Boot: Original Uncut Version
Lawrence of Arabia: Limited Edition / Lawrence of Arabia: Superbit
In addition, I have all the classic Charlie Chaplin features films (City Lights, Modern Times, etc...) in both their original Image releases and the current Warner Brothers 2-Disc sets.
I've also kept seven of the original Universal "Classic Monster Collection" releases (Frankenstein, Dracula, etc..), even though the same films are in the new "Legacy" collections. (Along the same lines, I have the old Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein "Comedy Legends" release, though the film is included in The Best of Abbott & Costello: Volume 3.)

The main one for me is Donnie Darko. I could see having two versions of Time Bandits as well.
As for Lord of the Rings, I far prefer the theatrical versions, but since I was able to get the extended edition trilogy as a "creative" CH order, I keep those around as well.
