Deleted Scenes

Question for the day: what's your favorite deleted scene from a movie?

For me, it's a tie between the bit that was edited out of the ending sequence in Dead Again and the alternate ending of The Sixth Sense.

Edit: Comments may contain spoilers. (Duh.)

Oh oh, I know this one: In The Name Of The King would have been slightly less of an abomination if they had shown Matthew Lillard get his throat cut.

Probably one of my favorite deleted scenes is from

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.

It's a really inspired comic bit by Emma Thompson as Sybil Trelawney, during Delores Umbridge's initial speech. It basically just consists of Sybil trying to eat dinner and making a royal and absolute mess of it. I can see why it was cut, because it would have been too distracting. The audience has to pay attention to Umbridge's speech because it introduces her to the audience as the hypocritical, tyrannical asshole she is, and it's important to see that. But Thompson's comic bit is hysterical and worthy of being included on the DVD.

All the deleted scenes from Love, Actually, especially the school principal. Also, Galaxy Quest's scene where Tony Shalhoub's character is asked to solve a major engineering problem.

Oh, and the one in X3 where Beast breaks some bitch's neck, because DAMN.
