The original single-disc DVD contained two alternate audio tracks that synch with the film. Scott still considers the 1979 theatrical cut his true director's cut, as the 2003 edition is merely a label. Despite the addition of scenes, the fact that he trimmed a lot to help pacing made the film one minute shorter. At the same time, he added a few deleted scenes the fans wanted. However, since they needed a new cut for the Quadrilogy (marketing reasons), Ridley Scott went back and tightened up the film, giving it a faster pace. This film is one of the few where the director prefers the theatrical cut, and considers it his final cut. The film will be separated into three parts: "Seeds of the Man", "Introspection", and "Revolution".Īlien: Theatrical Cut (1979) - 117 minutesĪlien: "Director's Cut" (2003) - 116 minutesĪlien: Alternate Score Cut (1979) - 117 minutesĪlien: Alternate Effects Cut (1979) - 117 minutes It is expected to be release to DVD on February 27, 2007. He considers this shorter film his director's cut, but even so, Stone later announced that he is also preparing an epic extended edition, that will utilize most/all the important footage shot. In an effort to appease those complaints, and to better the film, Stone deleted 15 minutes, reinstated nine, and the end product is considered a tighter film, with several nuances and character moments addressed along with giving the film a more action and epic feel. ![]() Oliver Stone's theatrical cut was met harshly by critics and historians, and several vocal groups voiced their disdain over the bisexual portrayal and homosexual scenes of Alexander.

Right now this is in its early stages, and is very much a work in progress, but I hope to get it completed one of these days. What I plan to do is make this a definitive list, if possible, of the various different cuts and versions there are of movies, explanations of why, and if space provides, what's different for each version. Unfortunately, most of the entries are incomplete (no director, year, or runtimes), and only a few have paragraphs of explanation. I've been meaning to update this thread, and finally am, though in a different format than what I had originally done here in this first post. ![]()
