Directors Cuts of Iconic Films That Surpass The Originals

Donnie Darko

Donnie Darko tends to feel very confusing for first-time audiences. In order to keep the running time under two hours for the theatrical release, director Richard Kelly had to cut down on some scenes that probably would have helped folks understand things a little better.

The More You Know

Charles Bronson, Britain's most violent prisoner, actually shaved his trademark mustache off so Tom Hardy could wear it during the filming of "Bronson", which was based on his life in prison.
Despite pulling in over $240m My Big Fat Greek Wedding never once topped the US box office chart.
Peter O’Toole was nominated for eight performance Oscars and didn’t win a single one.
The filming of 'The Godfather' was disrupted by an actual Mafia member, Joe Colombo. Producer Al Ruddy met with him and reviewed the script, striking the word "Mafia" completely from the movie. Colombo and his pals also managed to elbow their way into casting and ended up as extras in the film.
