Directors Cuts of Iconic Films That Surpass The Originals

My Brother's Wedding

Charles Burnett's film My Brother's Wedding suffered from a rushed studio that cut off his polishing process way too early. They forced him to release a 115-minute "rough cut" at a New York Film Festival, which sabotaged any buyers wanting a part of the film. Burnett released his own cut in 2007 which shaved off 30 minutes of the 1983 cut.
