1930 The Rogue Song Lionel Barrymore Lawrence Tibbett A Technicolor film. Soundtrack, two reels, and several clips survive.
1931 Annabelle's Affairs Alfred L. Werker Jeanette MacDonald The last of Jeanette MacDonald's films for Fox, only one reel is known to survive.
1931 Der Mann, der seinen Mörder sucht Robert Siodmak Heinz Rühmann, Lien Deyers, Hermann Speelmans, Friedrich Holländer A very little known early Robert Siodmak film which was in fact the inspiration for D.O.A. (1950). Though a comedy, it follows the same idea. Upon release, it was acclaimed as "a fun, fast-paced mix of crime drama and musical". Only 50 of the original 98 minutes are known to exist. It is also known as Jim, The Man with the Scar.
1932 Freaks Tod Browning Olga Baclanova Because of disastrous test screenings, 26 minutes of the original 90 were cut out, leading to a final length of 64 minutes. These parts of Browning's second and last big-budget production are considered lost. [20]
1932 Horse Feathers Norman Z. McLeod Marx Brothers The only existing prints of this film are missing several minutes, due to both censorship and damage.
1932 Veiled Aristocrats Oscar Micheaux Lorenzo Tucker All that survives is the trailer and fragments of two reels.
1933 King Kong Merian C. Cooper, Ernest B. Schoedsack Fay Wray A famous scene following that in which Kong shakes several sailors off a log into a crevice, showing them eaten alive by a giant spider, a giant crab, a giant lizard, and an octopoid is only available in some stills. After the preview of the film, Cooper was forced to cut the scene, since it caused horror among the test audience. In one of Cooper's notes, however, it is indicated that he might have cut the scene for pacing reasons. [21]
1933 My Lips Betray John Boles The sixth reel is assumed to be lost forever.
1935 Devdas P.C. Barua P.C. Barua, Jamuna Barua Of this classic Bengali film, only 60% still survives.
1936 Things To Come William Cameron Menzies The most complete existing version of this film runs 96 minutes compared with its original running time of 117 minutes upon submission to the BBFC. A reconstructed version using extant film, production stills, and extracts from the script is available on DVD.
1937 Lost Horizon Frank Capra Ronald Colman Capra's initial 210-minute version was cut down to 131 minutes after a preview screening of the film went badly. In his autobiography, Capra claims to have personally destroyed the first two reels. Subsequent re-releases were further edited to downplay alleged "communist" elements, as well as hints of swinging and various scenes which were felt to present the native children in too positive a light. While a complete soundtrack of the original 131-minute release has survived, no complete 131-minute print is known to exist. In many currently-used versions, still photos and individual frames are used to replace the seven minutes of missing footage that accompanies the soundtrack.
1939 Tsuchi (Earth) Tomu Uchida Mieshi Bando, Donguriboya, Masako Fujimura, Akiko Fujimura, Mari Ko The print of Earth that made its way to the Internet was apparently discovered in Germany in 1968, and is seriously compromised. On top of a bad case of nitrate damage and hard-coded German subtitles, the film is missing its first and last reel. (The IMDb says that Earth was originally 142 minutes long; this version is 93 minutes.) A 119-minute version of the film, again with hard-coded subtitles, was discovered in Russia around the turn of the millennium. It too is missing the last reel.[22]
1939 The Wizard of Oz Victor Fleming Judy Garland Originally contained a musical number called "The Jitterbug", which was included in test showings. The musical number was edited for general release, and the footage of this scene has been lost. The soundtrack recording, however, survives, as does behind-the-scenes home movies showing the cast either rehearsing or actually filming the sequence. This footage, edited together with stills, has been edited together to recreate the sequence and this has been included on numerous retrospectives and DVD releases of the film.

1940s

Year Film Director Cast Notes Ref
1940 Fantasia Various Directors Deems Taylor For its 60th Anniversary DVD release in 2000, Disney's manager of film restoration, Scott MacQueen, supervised a restoration and reconstruction of the original 125-minute roadshow version of Fantasia. The visual elements from the Deems Taylor segments that had been cut from the film in 1942 and 1946 were restored, as was the intermission. However, the original nitrate audio negatives for the long-unseen Taylor scenes had deteriorated several decades earlier, so Disney brought in voice actor Corey Burton to rerecord all of Taylor's lines. Although it was advertised as the "original uncut" version, the Sunflower edit in Beethoven's Symphony No. 6 made in 1969 was maintained. In this version, it was accomplished by digitally zooming-in on certain frames to avoid showing the black centaurette character.
1942 The Magnificent Ambersons Orson Welles Joseph Cotten 44 minutes were cut by RKO Pictures from Welles' version after an unsuccessful preview. A handful of shots from the original version exist in the film's original trailer, which has survived.
1943 Sanshiro Sugata Akira Kurosawa The film is missing 17 minutes of its running time.
1944 Meet Me in St. Louis Vincente Minnelli Judy Garland The musical number "Boys and Girls Like You and Me", originally deleted from the initial Broadway run of Oklahoma! and replaced with "People Will Say We're In Love", followed "The Trolley Song" but wound up being deleted as well and is presumed lost. The soundtrack alone remains.
1946 Ivan the Terrible, Part III Sergei Eisenstein Nikolay Cherkasov About 20 minutes were filmed, but the USSR Communist Party disapproved of the production's homosexual and political themes. About 16 minutes were burned following the death of Eisenstein in 1948, leaving the trilogy unfinished. The remaining 4 minutes can be seen as a Special Feature on The Criterion Collection DVD version.

1950s

Year Film Director Cast Notes Ref
1951 The Idiot Akira Kurosawa Kurosawa's adaptation of the novel of the same name. After one test screening that ended with poor reviews, the studio cut the film from 265 minutes to 165. The 100 minutes that were cut have never been recovered.
1954 A Star Is Born George Cukor Judy Garland Originally premiering at 181 minutes, Warner Bros. cut the film down by about 27 minutes for general release. The 1983 restoration included soundtrack from this cut and a few establishing shots, with stills filling in the rest.
1954 Southwest Passage Joanne Dru Initially released in 3-D, this feature only survives in its flat form.
1954 Top Banana Alfred E. Green Phil Silvers Shot and edited in 3-D, the film was released flat. The film only exists in 16mm, and does not exist in 3-D at all.
1956 The Burmese Harp Kon Ichikawa In Japan, Nikkatsu, the studio that commissioned the film, released it in two parts, three weeks apart. Part one (running 63 minutes) opened on January 21, 1956, and part two (80 minutes) opened on February 12, both accompanied by B movies. Its total running time of 143 minutes was cut to 116 minutes for later re-release and export, reputedly at Ichikawa’s objection. The original 143 version is lost.

1960s

Year Film Director Cast Notes Ref
1961 One-Eyed Jacks Marlon Brando Marlon Brando Brando shot 5 hours of additional footage that was later destroyed. The theatrical cut stands at 141 minutes, while the 300-minute version does not exist.
1963 It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World Stanley Kramer Spencer Tracy Originally premiered at 192 minutes, then edited to 162 for general release. In the late 1980s, 20 minutes of deleted footage were found in a warehouse which had been slated for demolition, and edited back into the film. Kramer was technical adviser on the partial-restoration project, and this 182-minute partial restoration was issued on VHS in the early 1990s. This version is also the one shown on Turner Classic Movies. When the film was released on DVD in the early 2000s, MGM chose to issue the 162-minute general release version and not the 182-minute partial restoration.
1964 Man in the 5th Dimension Dick Ross Billy Graham This short film was originally shot in the 70mm Todd-AO widescreen process. Eleven 70mm prints were created, but none survive. The film exists in a 16mm version only.
1968 2001: A Space Odyssey Stanley Kubrick Keir Dullea After the original premiere, Kubrick cut 24 minutes (also adding title cards and a small insertion at the "Dawn of Men" sequence). These trims are considered lost, although there are rumors of the cut sequences being in the possession of Kubrick's family. Seventeen minutes of cut footage were discovered in a Kansas salt mine where some motion pictures are archived.

1970s

Year Film Director Cast Notes Ref
1971 The Big Boss Lo Wei Bruce Lee After the original premiere, Hong Kong censors demanded that some of the footage be trimmed, including more graphic violence, and an explicit "pre-sex" scene, featuring Bruce Lee's only implied nude scene. The missing footage has been rumored to still exist, but hasn't been confirmed.
1971 Bedknobs and Broomsticks Robert Stevenson Angela Lansbury, David Tomlinson Many scenes were cut for theatrical release. Most of these scenes were located, restored, and re-inserted for the 30th anniversary DVD release in 2001. However, several lines of dialogue were lost and had to be redubbed, and one complete musical number, "A Step in the Right Direction", is presumed lost. However, the original demo recording does exist, and is available in a reconstruction using production stills on the DVD.
1973 The Wicker Man Robin Hardy Christopher Lee, Edward Woodward All original elements to the film (camera negative, etc.) are thought to be lost after having been destroyed in the late 1970s.
1976 Taxi Driver Martin Scorsese Robert De Niro, Jodie Foster Scorsese was obliged to de-saturate the colors of the infamous climactic shoot-out scene in order to obtain an "R" rating. The original full-color footage has become lost.
1977 Martin George A. Romero John Amplas The original copy was entirely in monochrome and ran for 165 minutes. To Romero's knowledge, no copy of this version exists.
1977 The Hills Have Eyes Wes Craven To avoid an X rating violent shots were trimmed.The cut footage is believed to be lost however the alternate ending appeared on the DVD from Anchor Bay. -

1980s

Year Film Director Cast Notes Ref
1980 The Blues Brothers John Landis John Belushi Though much footage was restored for the 25th-Anniversary DVD release, an extended car chase and other scenes are lost.
1980 Heaven's Gate Michael Cimino Kris Kristofferson According to Steven Bach's book Final Cut, the version first screened by Cimino for executives at United Artists ran approximately 320 minutes, more than an hour longer than the longest version shown in public.
1980 The Shining Stanley Kubrick Jack Nicholson Kubrick cut a scene at the end, which was a discussion about the disappearance of Jack's frozen body. The scene was cut soon after being released in theaters, and the footage was apparently destroyed by the studio.
1981 Friday the 13th Part 2 Steve Miner Amy Steel Almost a minute's worth of footage had to be cut from the film in order to secure an R-rating from the MPAA. Part 2 received a deluxe DVD release in February 2009, but the edited footage was not included, much to the disdain of fans, who have long clamored for an uncut release. Paramount has stated that the excised footage has been lost.
1984 Once Upon a Time in America Sergio Leone Robert De Niro Originally six hours in length, Leone was forced to cut it down to four. Though some footage has been restored, Leone's full-length version has never surfaced.
1985 The Breakfast Club John Hughes Molly Ringwald Hughes wrote a script for a film of about 2½ hours, but the film released runs 97 minutes. Many of the cut scenes were filmed and the negatives destroyed. Hughes, who died in 2009, said that he had a copy of the uncut film.
1988 Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood John Carl Buechler Lar Park Lincoln This entry is infamous for its extremely harsh treatment at the hands of the MPAA. Virtually all of the death scenes were heavily edited to remove gore. All home video releases have been further trimmed down from the theatrical release. On video the "sleeping bag scene" shows Jason only slamming his victim against a tree once. In theaters it showed him slamming the person against the tree six times, and was much bloodier. Some of the deleted material was included in the boxed set of the series released by Paramount, but the footage was not integrated into the film itself. This same footage was included in the deluxe DVD edition released in 2009. Daniel Farrands, who has been supervising the deluxe DVD editions for the series, stated that it will be impossible to release a true director's cut of the film, as some of the deleted footage was accidentally destroyed in the early 1990s.
1988 The Land Before Time Don Bluth The film was originally about 11 minutes longer, but several shots were cut due to them being seen as potentially traumatic or too scary for children. Many of these shots can be seen in the original theatrical trailer, and fans of the series have scoured auction websites and online markets for any copy with these scenes, but Don Bluth has stated that these scenes were cut before the film was released, and the original film has probably been destroyed or lost by now for storage reasons. However, highly collectible animation cels can be found from some of these shots.
1989 All Dogs Go to Heaven Don Bluth Two darker scenes involving Charlie being hit by a car and his vision of Hell;Bluth owned an uncut print but was stolen,Goldcrest films destroyed the remaining uncut print to avoid storage fees.

1990s

Year Film Director Cast Notes Ref
1990 Leatherface: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre III Jeff Burr Kate Hodge The film was threatened with an X over 3 times. Though the DVD has both cut and uncut versions, the full original version is believed to be lost after the extensive cuts.
1997 Event Horizon Paul W. S. Anderson Laurence Fishburne The original version, shown to test audiences, had 30 minutes of extra footage including graphic, violent, and orgiastic scenes and several other scenes that were later removed in post-production by order of Paramount Pictures. Most of this footage has been lost, except for a few remaining scenes without sound that were found in an abandoned salt mine; these appear on the 2006 special edition of the film.
