When it comes to the X-Men films, the most talked about deleted scenes have to be the sequences in Days Of Future Past featuring Anna Paquin's Rogue. Fans can now see these extensive sequences in their full glory on the new extended DVD release (called "The Rogue Cut").

Long story short, when Kitty is injured, the X-Men decide to use Rogue as a replacement. There's one minor snag, though, she's being held prisoner. So Iceman and Magneto bust her out of confinement and bring her back to the X-Mens' refuge, encountering Sentinels along the way.

Any opportunity to see more of Ian McKellen's Magneto is a fan's dream come true and the fact that these were Rogue's only scenes in Days Of Future Past only further serves to make the extended cut a must-see. It's true that the sub-plot with Rogue isn't strictly necessary to tell the main story, but it would have been nice to see Paquin's character one last time on the big screen. 

There are many other great scenes cut from X-Men movies, of course. Enough for an entire list, in fact. And here it is.
