Live Poll: Unfinished Films
This list of films were never unfinished by their directors for different reasons. In some cases, we know versions edited by someone else from the original material, in others just parts of the movie that got to be recorded. If the original director had had the chance to finish his film as he visioned it, which one do you think would have been the greatest film? https://www.imdb.com/list/ls075149298/ https://www.imdb.com/poll/iQ7P6B7CE8A/

I like your idea and Something's Got to Give (1962) is my favorite title that I always wish it completed as a brilliant feature film...

I like the concept, but I do feel there is an inherent problem. These films fall into three categories. The first is films that were barely started, and what footage was filmed is now long gone and we have only stills (if that) to provide us with any hint on how good or bad the film might have been. The second of these is films that had enough scenes filmed to be included in a documentary, which gives us a hint of what the film was supposed to be. The third type were enough completed to get a stand-alone release. For instance, I have seen Que Viva Mexico, Game of Death, Don Quixote, The Other Side of the Wind, On the Silver Globe, and The Passenger. While none of these are "complete," they do provide a somewhat cohesive (if awkward) film. From this list, I liked Que Viva Mexico the best and wished that last section had been completed (although, Queen Kelly - not on the list - is my number one uncompleted film, at least Von Stroheim's intended version of Queen Kelly).
