Synopsis: "Director George Lucas delivers the finale to his original epic space trilogy with the rebel forces' last stand against the Empire and Luke Skywalker's (Mark Hamill) fateful confrontation with his nemesis, Darth Vader (voiced by James Earl Jones). Skywalker tries to rescue Han Solo (Harrison Ford) and Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher) from Jabba the Hutt, while the rebel army and the small, furry Ewoks battle the enormity of the rebuilt Death Star."

Edit summary: Cut some bad CGI, and some parts of the Ewok battle.

Synopsis: "Pierce Brosnan takes his first turn as debonair MI6 agent James Bond, who -- with his sophisticated gadgets and signature Aston Martin -- investigates the destruction of a Russian satellite weapons base with the help of the massacre's sole survivor (Izabella Scorupco).

Edit summary: Cut a handful of scenes or partial scenes that interrupt the flow of the story and action, and part of the ludicrous tank chase.

Synopsis: "As two driven professionals -- an illustrious detective (Al Pacino) and a sophisticated thief (Robert De Niro) -- face off, they learn how much they need each other, and that the line between cop and criminal isn't always well-defined. Brilliantly directed by Michael Mann, Heat is a hyperkinetic crime drama about two men on opposite sides of the law who approach life in much the same way. Val Kilmer, Tom Sizemore and Jon Voight co-star."

Edit summary: Cut the constant home/wife interruptions to Al Pacino's storyline and other minor cuts to streamline and focus the plot a little.

Synopsis: "This series, loosely based Philip K. Dick's novel of the same name, takes a look at what the world might look like had the outcome of World War II turned out differently. In this dystopian scenario, the Axis powers won the war, leading to the United States being divided into three parts, an area controlled by the Japanese, a Nazi-controlled section, and a buffer zone between the two."

Edit summary: Refocused the series fully on Juliana Crain, cutting the boring Jewish resistance side-plot following her boyfriend. Drop the last couple seasons with their lame plot twists and strip out as much of the 'teleportation' from Season 1 and 2 as possible to keep it more mysterious/plausible.

Synopsis: "A man is able to choose his own afterlife after his untimely death by having his consciousness uploaded into a virtual world. As he gets used to his new life and befriends his angel (real world handler) questions about his death arise."

Edit summary: Cut the minor gay and transgender side-plots and characters, clean up a few other cringey scenes, and condense the show into a long movie.

Synopsis: "Transitioning from his job as a CIA analyst in the U.S., Daniel Miller's new mission puts him under cover at the agency's Berlin branch, tasked with sorting out messy cases involving damaging leaks, whistle-blowers, terrorism and more."

Edit summary: Cut the crossdressing subplot, gay informant subplot, and a bunch of irrelevant filler scenes. Drop season 2 and 3 to create a tight, complete spy story.

Synopsis: "Jaye Tyler (Caroline Dhavernas) has no aspirations aside from working as a clerk in a small gift shop adjacent to Niagara Falls until unexplainable events -- such as lifeless objects speaking to her in secret -- remind her she might be destined for offbeat greatness. Taking her cues from inexplicable sources, Tyler uses her Ivy League intelligence to come to the aid of perfect strangers who need her help."
