^Naked Lunch is such a cool little cult film! Amazing visual realization of some of Burroughs' most out-there ideas.
That Thing You Do! (1996 - Extended Edition fanedit)
Kind of a no-surprises, comfort-food movie about a band of aspiring-one-hit-wonders written, directed by, and supported with Tom Hanks...and he even helped write some music! The fanedit is a hybrid of the Director's Cut and Theatrical Cut, and it doesn't really fundamentally change anything about the film, it's just kind of more of that thing. So if you liked it, you'll like it.
The Thief and the Cobbler (1993 - Re-Cobbled Edition fanedit)
Now this on the other hand, is really a case of just "more=more", and there are definitely times when that's not a good thing. This truly is cobbled together from a lot of bad sources and it's often very distracting or even confusing to watch, not to mention that the story and script are ...well, some would say "under-baked" and others just BAD. Spots of creative animation make this worth watching clips of online, probably in lieu of the movie.
Embattled (2020)
I had heard this was good, but you could not have surprised me more that what looked like a disposable Netflix streamer turns out to be the best family drama/MMA sports film I've ever seen! The obvious comparison based on that is Warrior, but I'm sorry, that film was well-directed but poorly-written. There's so much more to dig into in this film, and I'll be smoked if Stephen Dorff doesn't give the performance of his lifetime.
