8 Deleted Scenes That Almost Completely Changed Their Movies

6. High Fidelity - Records For Sale

Aliens Deleted Scene
Touchstone Pictures

High Fidelity is truly a movie for music lovers - portraying life for a bunch of guys running a records store that judge every customer that comes in rather than actually selling them any music. Sounds about right for most vinyl collectors.

Of course, it's also a romantic comedy, exploring love and loneliness against the backdrop of Rob Gordon's (John Cusack) passion for music. In this deleted scene, Rob proves just how deep that passion runs, perusing a scorned wife's (Beverly D'Angelo) vinyl collection that she's selling for her husband. Resulting in a touching back and forth between the two, it's a sweet moment, but maybe not one that had a place in the film.

Still though, the movie could have been all the better for it considering quite how eye-popping the collection is, and the choices that Rob makes to define his character.

On the other hand, potentially getting his entire living dream's worth of records in one go could change his outlook irrevocably; as what is there to aspire to if you have everything you want, or even could have had it all but chose not to? Maybe questions too big to answer.
