The only really significant one I can think of off the top of my head is "Brazil" and that's only because it had two totally different endings.

Anyway...I think the whole thing is overrated. I'm not saying editing isn't important, but I just don't see much difference of any significance in these alternate versions. So if anyone can list a few movies they think are significantly different/improved, please list a few off. Thanks.

This really makes me relive movies I saw long ago and makes me want to watch them again. And on top of that I get reviews of movies I haven't seen, but always knew I should. It makes me seek them up and give them a watch.

Also, I agree that the concept of DC's is a bit overrated, but there are true exceptions like Blade Runner and Kingdom of Heaven. The latter being a film I truly despised when I saw it in the cinemas, but also a film that completely changed my mind when I saw the DC. Now I think of it as the best modern epic, a trend started by Gladiator and ironically ended by KOH, both whom are works of the great Ridley Scott.

I'll admit, I'm also a bit tired of the Director's Cut trend. The entire concept is being exploited simply to sell more DVD's. I can appreciate a good Director's Cut when it's obvious that a director has been treated like shit (Brazil and Blade Runner are good examples), but it's sad that such a thing as a Director's Cut has to exist in the first place. When someone asks me if I've read The Old Man And The Sea, I don't have to ask "which version are you referring to?". Granted, filmmaking is a collaborative medium, but someone should be in charge of the final creative decisions and that person should be the director.

BTW, I would say my all-time favorite Hitchcock is North By Northwest. Cary Grant is at his charming best, Eva Marie Saint is at her lovliest, James Mason made the perfect "gentleman villian". And it is one of my favorite Herrmann scores. My second favorite is perhaps Frenzy, which showed the master still had it, late in his career. But there are so many too choose from it's like a kid in a candy store.

Suspicion lost me at the end. I mostly enjoyed the "is he, isn't he" aspect of the film but when the climax comes it is quite the let down. It's akin to "oops, my bad, how silly of me". Where's the payoff of thinking your husband is trying to kill you, regardless of whether or not he is? Do you just keep allowing yourself to be put in situations that could be the end of you hoping he doesn't off you?
