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: "A sweet boy from a poor family dreams of finding one of five golden tickets hidden inside chocolate bar wrappers which will admit him to the eccentric and reclusive Willy Wonka's magical factory."
Edit summary: Cut the ticket finding to be a bit shorter/cleaner, removed some musical interludes that interrupt the flow, and cut out a few goofy or creepy bits that weren't important.

Synopsis: "A down-on-his-luck inventor turns a broken-down Grand Prix car into a fantastical vehicle for his children, and then they go off on a magical adventure to save their grandfather in a far-off land."
Edit summary: This edit significantly cuts down the musical numbers (only kept You Two, Candy Factory, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, and King's Birthday), tones down the slapstick a bit, reduces the creepy childcatcher scenes, and various other trims to bring down the rather chunky length to something that doesn't require an intermission break. The only one I'm sad about losing is the carnival dance song (the song is silly but it was fun to watch as a kid), but that sequence really breaks up the flow of the early story and is an easy cut to save time without impacting the plot.
