With more and more DVD's being marketed, recut and benefitting from extra footage, what films would you like to see get the same treatment.

Hard Target
Desperado
My Bloody Valentine
The Devils
Friday the 13th Part II
Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood
Waxworks
Menace II Society (have the unrated Criterion LD, but would like a DVD version replete with the 5.1 soundmix, that is on the New Line R-rated DVD version)

Hard Target

The only one I've been dying for is actually in the pipeline for later this year: EYES WIDE SHUT.

Return of the Living Dead III

Benji: The Hunted

Scream

I have my fingers crossed for this one too, especially with a new anamorphic transfer. The 10th anniversary is coming up . . . .

Oh yeah...forgot about SCREAM...

From Dusk Till Dawn and Eyes Wide Shut (which would be a director's cut right?)

Menace II Society
Summer of Sam
Eyes Wide Shut
Dead Presidents
A Nightmare on Elm Street
Jason's Lyric

Hard Target and Scream

please correct me if I am wrong, but I believe these were released longer/UNRATED when it was on VHS and/or LD, but on DVD, they used the shorter R cuts

JASON'S LYRICS
COLORS
DREAM LOVER
WILD ORCHID 2
ANIMAL INSTINCT 2
JADE
THIEF OF HEARTS
CAT CHASER
PROM NIGHT 3
DON'T ANSWER THE PHONE

of the one's you listed I know that Jade was released unrated on VHS, Colors on laserdisc I believe.

Dr.Stangelove w/ the pie throwing scene.
Eyes Wide Shut as mentioned above.

Natural Born Killers (new anamorphic transfer)

Event Horizon
Scream
Return of the Living Dead III

which Dream Lover film are you referring to: the Kirsty McNichol movie or the James Spader film (which was recently released in its unrated form on DVD).

Your pretty much correct in your list of films that have been released uncut on VHS, but not on DVD

CAT CHASER - DVD: R-rated; 'cut'/ VHS: unrated
WILD ORCHID 2 - DVD:R-rated; 'cut' / VHS: unrated
THIEF OF HEARTS - DVD: R-rated; 'cut' / VHS: unrated
PROM NIGHT 3 - DVD: TV edit / VHS: unrated
DON'T ANSWER THE PHONE - DVD: TV edit / VHS: unrated

correction:

The DVD of COLORS is the longer 127min cut of the film

To my knowledge JASON'S LYRICS more explicit scenes were never restored for home video.

I'd also like to see the 88min unrated cut of Spike Lee's She's Gotta Have It that Criterion released.

I've always wondered what the added footage in Colors was. I asked 2 guys who saw the theatrical release and both didn't remember what was added on the video/cable release.

Haven't fully compared the R-version and "Special,sexy unrated" versions of Jason's Lyric yet. One difference I remember was that R-version crops the image of Treach's butte-tocks when he's bangin' Lisa Nicole Carson.

I know it was probably just a rumor, but I'd like an uncut Closer.

"Superman II" (Donner cut)
"Timerider: The Adventure Of Lyle Swann" (with uncut ending)

DREAMLOVER, the one with Spader, I recall some people complaining the MGM DVD used the R cut, while the LD and vHS used the unrated cut. Not sure if it's true or not.

I never realized that PROM NIGHT III was edited on DVD. As for WAXWORK; I was lead to believe the DVD actually does contain the uncut version even though the packaging states "R". Was I mis-informed?

The VHS was not unrated - it was the uncut R-rated theatrical version. The Rhino DVD was a tv-print.

The uncut version is supposedly coming soon on DVD from Deimos.

or the uncut COOLER, cinemax plays the uncut every now and then
