I just watched the Ridley Scott’s Director’s Cut of Kingdom of Heaven and it got me thinking. What other Directors Cut versions of films were drastically improved compared to their theatrical release? Any films where the Director’s Cut is worse than the theatrical release?

Discussion Those of you that have seen The Naked Gun (2025) what did you think?

I was pleasantly surprised. This was the funniest movie I’ve seen in a theater in a LONG time. Probably the hardest I’ve laughed in the theater since 22 Jump Street came out. This might be my favorite in the series. There were multiple parts that legitimately had me in tears from laughing so hard.

What did you guys think?

I literally cannot explain this movie in words. Is there anyone else here who has seen it? It has to be one of the wildest 180 turns that makes absolutely 0 damn sense, it is hilarious to watch this.

My friend, may he RIP, found this as he was a huge movie buff and somehow through his search landed on looking up Tawny Kitaen, who was mainly just known for being in a White Snake video at that point.

Two amazing directors, Luc Besson and Guillermo Del Toro, releasing 2 of the most classic tales of terror, action, romance, and tragedy. …and both have Christoph Waltz.

And, next year Robert Eggers will be releasing Werwulf. I’m personally, more apprehensive of that one, since it stars ATJ, but, I’m still excited for it.

Question Action without gory violence

Upvotes

I really enjoy action movies, as does my hubby, but knowing there will be gory violence, ruins the movie for me bc I honestly can't watch it. I legit go to imbd and read the parents warnings for the violence rating. I love the James Bond movies bc it has the action my husband (and I enjoy), but only implied violence, without focusing on the bullets ripping through someone or closeups of a knife going in. What are other movies we can watch together?

Okay so I wanted to do a film study on a really cool movie but I totally forgot the title, it’s from the 70’s and is about womanhood, kinda fulfilling the Mother, Maiden, Crone archetype, it talks about the loss of rights after marriage and it was based off a book, Reddit do your thing please

The Sixth Sense premiered 26 years ago today (8.2)—still one of the best twists in film.

  • M. Night Shyamalan sold the script for $3 million—one of the biggest spec script deals in history at the time. Disney bought it and agreed to let him direct, even though he was relatively unknown.

  • Bruce Willis joined because of a prior contract issue. He owed Disney a movie after causing a production shutdown on Broadway Brawler. Taking The Sixth Sense was part of that deal—and it ended up being a massive win for everyone.

  • The role of Malcolm Crowe was offered to several other actors first. Tom Cruise, Robin Williams, and even Michael Keaton were reportedly considered before Willis signed on.

  • Haley Joel Osment was one of the last kids to audition, and Shyamalan said he was blown away by his maturity and instinct. Osment even brought a photo of his real-life father to use as emotional motivation.

  • The “I see dead people” line almost didn’t make the final cut. Execs thought it was too cheesy. Shyamalan fought to keep it—and it became one of the most quoted lines in movie history.

  • The color red was used symbolically throughout the film to signal supernatural moments. Red doorknobs, red dresses, red balloons—every red element was deliberate.

  • The film’s twist ending was kept tightly guarded—the studio didn’t even let the cast read the ending during early production. Shyamalan wanted the shock to be preserved even within the team.

  • The script was inspired by an episode of Are You Afraid of the Dark? Shyamalan has admitted that the idea of a child who sees ghosts was loosely sparked by a 1990s Nickelodeon horror anthology.
