* ''Film/TheHobbit'''s mixed reception led to a number of these, generally with the goals of hacking down three films and nine hours of screentime into something less ponderous, and removing elements seen as unfaithful to the book or padding. The subplots of Gandalf investigating the Necromancer and Kili and Tauriel's love triangle are usually first on the chopping block, and Bilbo's character arc tends to receive priority in scenes that stay. The two most well-regarded, both clocking in at around four hours, seem to be the ''Bilbo Edit'', which tries to hew as close to the book as possible (even featuring a "chapter"-style division), and the ''Maple Films'' edit, which aims more for cohesion and pacing to create something professional. The creator of the latter even had enough footage left over to create an hour-long film about Gandalf, the White Council and Thorin's family, called ''Durin's Folk and the Hill of Sorcery''.

Another notable edit is Chris Hartwell's, who stuck relatively closer to the theatrical films with a six-hour cut, and published [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lRgx6gQ-kh0 a video series]] about the process.

* The 70's[=/=]80's ''Film/{{Superman|FilmSeries}}'' films also tend to be given a lot of attention, given the controversial nature of Creator/RichardDonner and Richard Lester's different takes on ''Film/SupermanII'', resulting in many hybrid cuts. Selutron has attempted an edit of ''II'' into what ''he thinks'' would've been the version released had Donner stayed on. Selutron felt the existing "Richard Donner cut" had too many issues (using worse takes, copy-and-paste music, odd-looking effects), and sought to fix them with this version.
