What are your thoughts of Fan Edits? Are there any you'd recommend? Have you made any?

    The Hobbit - the Tolkien Edit. Cuts all scenes that are non-canon. The love triangle they crowbarred in is gone. That annoying lady elf disappears entirely except for one scene where she bursts in looking for Frodo on the barrel.

    The Phantom Menace - the Phantom Edit. Makes a tedious movie into a better one.

    There is an edit of Star Wars that restores the movie to its original theatrical release of 1977. George Lucas tampered with it every time it was released afterwards. I forget the name, but it's available in torrent form in very high quality.

    For all of these, I won't watch the better-known ones.
