Mutilated Masterpieces
Watch these monumental silent-era and epic behemoths together — each one butchered by a studio or a censor and only later reclaimed as a monument — when you want cinema at its most ruinous, obsessive, and grand.
Deep film-school canon and demanding by design: long, heavy, and in some cases hard to even see uncut — devout-cinephile territory, not a casual night.

- Heaven's Gate (1980)
