Lately I have been seeing a number of films that have been altered against the wishes of the director, such as Lynch's "Dune", Michael Mann's "The Keep", and various other WW2 movies.
I understand the want for studios to make movies palatable to an audience, but there is only so many people who are interested in watching these movies to begin with, so really cutting is just going to piss off the fans and won't earn you any accolades.
And it's a damn shame because in a number of cases the original footage has been lost, so there is no hope for some miraculous "Uncut" or "Director's Cut" version in the future.
