9 Movies You've Never Fully Seen (But Hopefully Will)

7. The Wolf Of Wall Street

Though Martin Scorsese's terrific black comedy The Wolf of Wall Street already clocks in at a hefty, bladder-annihilating 180 minutes, it was well documented in the months before release that the director was struggling to whittle the film down from a much larger whole.

As it turns out, Scorsese's first cut of the movie was a stonking four hours long, though the director originally insisted that this was simply the assembly cut, a typically overlong edit featuring all the usable footage.

His longtime editor Thelma Schoonmaker, however, claims this four-hour cut was a complete movie and test audiences "loved" it, enough that Scorsese briefly considered splitting the film in half, Kill Bill-style.

Ultimately, Schoonmaker cleaved enough material away to hit a studio-mandated three-hour runtime. While this absolutely made sense for theatrical distribution, being able to watch the full four-hour version at home sure would be nice.

Given that Scorsese release his 210-minute gangster epic The Irishman on Netflix, perhaps they could also end up playing host to the 240-minute The Wolf of Wall Street?
