-star wars episode 1 and 2 the magnolia edits are pretty solid and probably the best of the prequel edits I've ever seen. Im a diehard Lucas apologist who thinks the prequels are good actually but I think there's always room for improvement. Speaking of:
-star wars episode 4 and 5 revisited (6 is WIP currently). Basically the editor added even more special edition cgi and tweaked some of the existing stuff. I think he pushes it a bit too far in a couple spots and while it might not be the definitive version of these movies...they are some interesting companion versions.
I was working on an edit of superman returns that attempted to make that mess more watchable at one point. I actually got my first vfx job out of college because a studio saw my rotoscoping of the costume to have the classic red and blue suit instead of the awful brown and teal one from the movie. You can probably find a clip out there if you do some searching.
I ultimately abandoned it because I was too busy working actual paying vfx jobs and it seemed pointless to bother with superman returns since it was pretty clear that there was going to be a reboot fast tracked.
edit:
Oh just as a general thing: I fucking love fanedits. They're great. Under communism there will be fan edits everywhere.
Intellectual property as we well know is not a real thing, but moreover it should be understood that if anyone is worried about "artistic intent" that internally within the studio there are almost always like 10-20 ish "cuts" of a movie before they compromise on a final version. Fan edits are just even more options.
