    There are a couple of edits for Lynch's Dune - notably the Spicediver one, which rearranges the film to be more in line with the book and adds extra footage from the Director's Cut and other versions. They did a lot of colour correction also. There's another one which includes everything ever committed to film - even animated storyboards and half-finished fx shots - instead of the Princess' dialogue it uses a hilarious voiceover done by some dude who sounds like Mel Blanc. Running time is close to 3 hours with that one.

    Steven Soderbergh is well known for his fanedits - I have his 2001: A Space Odyssey and it is great, rearranges a lot of the scenes and cuts out a huge amount of fluff inc. the apes beginning and the scenes with Floyd on the orbital. He has done Psycho, Raiders, and others. They occasionally crop up online but get taken down fairly quickly by the studios.
