Alien: The Director's Cut

The Director's Cut of Alien is an alternate version of the 1979 film, released theatrically in 2003. Contrary to the vast majority of so-called "director's cuts", it is actually a shortened version of the movie, decreasing the run time by around a minute. It features several alternate scenes not included in the original theatrical version, including the infamous "Eggmorphing" scene. Its creation was overseen by Alien director Ridley Scott.
