Can you think of any movies where they could've cut about an hour of crap out of it and still have a movie? 'Cause when I do, I immediately think of Michael Cimino. Deer Hunter One of the first American movies to critically look at the Vietnam War (I think the first one was Coming Home which came out the same year). It starts with a wedding scene that goes for fifty loving years. Sure, it tells us about the characters, but you could do it in about ten minutes. Ken Miyamoto argues here that it had to be that long but he's full of loving poo poo. I nearly didn't watch the movie because I was waiting for it to start. gently caress off, Ken. Heaven's Gate Has a god-drat graduation scene in the beginning which I think literally goes for half an hour (that's a long time to watch people throw paper and dance around trees) and does as much as the wedding scene in Deer Hunter, ie gently caress-all. I don't even care what Miyamoto thinks about this one, I stopped watching after fifteen minutes. You won't do that to me twice, Cimino. So, post your movies that could've used more editing time here. I haven't seen a super hero movie in a while, but I understand there's a few 'director's cuts' versions of them that didn't need to get made. Heaven's Gate. Jesus Christ I'm glad I didn't see it - just look at this scene, it looks like loving Plan Nine!

Solaris is admittedly a bit slow-paced and more interested in cinematic criticism than entertainment. If you really want to see Tarkovsky at his most Hollywood you should see Mirror (1975).
