DAMNATION ALLEY (1977) had extra scenes as well, from deleted original footage as I recall.

For a long time, I considered THE MAGNIFICENT AMBERSONS to be my favorite movie. I'm not sure I would say that now, but it's definitely in the top 10. I find it a rewarding experience whenever I watch it. Well, rewarding and frustrating is probably more accurate. The film does have some problems, an...

I was 19 years old when I first saw CITIZEN KANE in a film class (projected from 35mm!). I was not averse to black and white films at the time, though it would be fair to say that I had the misconception that movies from the 30's and 40's were not "sophisticated", at least compared to movi...
