The Missing (Widescreen Special Edition)
Most deleted scenes were deleted because they're a waste of time.The  Missing's deleted scenes, however, suggest a far more intriguing movie  than the one that got released in theaters; almost all of them hint at a  less bland visual impulse, or surprising quirks to the characters'  personalities. Perhaps becauseThe Missingskips the usual  director's commentary, this second disc supplements an hour's worth  of making-of featurettes with almost 20 minutes of additional interviews  with director Ron Howard. More impishly, Howard includes three super-8  movies he shot as a teenager, all Westerns featuring his friends and  family, which  will delight his fans. In addition to the various goofy outtakes (in which  Cate Blanchett curses adorably as her rifle misfires), the DVD includes  three different versions of the movie's ending, which offer an educational  glimpse into the decision-making process that shapes a movie's emotional  impact.--Bret Fetzer
