Well as "uncut" as they can do anyway. There are so many different cuts of the film that it's hard to know what was the "Director's Vision." That said, I am excited about the new edition and will watch it. I'm not sure I'll buy it. I think it is a brilliant and poignant film, but it's not one I want to rewatch regularly and since I don't still have dreams of directing films, I won't be watching it repeatedly for some of the very good lessons it has to teach about pacing, framing, and space.
Thank you so much for this list! I missed out on a LOT of these films, and I will remedy that as time allows. However, some of them I did see, and they stand out to me for different and hopefully mildly more amusing reasons than you discussed. My uncle (only 9 years older than me) and his friend were forced to take me to the drive-in one night, so they took me to see..."Devil's Rain!" I was in the backseat, and there was a big, empty station wagon hatchback behind me. Pure evil, I tell you! You mentioned "Lifeforce" in passing, and that one is another drive-in story, but this time the joke was on my Mom and Stepfather who took my brother out to see what they thought was just a "space vampire" movie when I was 14 years old. Fun ride home, that was! As for Texas Chainsaw Massacre, I finally saw that for the first time in the early 2000s at a "Dinner and a Movie" theater on Halloween with an old roommate of mine. I had a sausage and pasta dish :)
Now that The Devils is getting the full 4K uncut release this fall, I'll finally watch it.

I think you will like it.
Monty Python: "Before you go to bed, Peter Wyndgarde will come and declare his undying love for you..."
I had never heard of the guy before I saw that episode, so I was a bit confused....
That's okay, I didn't realize until recently that Mastermind (the X-Men villain) was modeled after him until last year.
