House of 1000 Corpses, definately. This movie could have been 100X better if all cut shit was kept in.

Snow Dogs should have gone straight to video. Scratch that, it should have gone straight into the core of the earth to be charred and forgotten.

One movie that went STV in the US but should have been released theatrically was Dog Soldiers.

Boondock Saints along with it's upcoming sequel definately should have gotten a theater run!


Just about all of the teen shit that is released every 2 months should go straight to video.
