Have we yet reached the point where if a DVD release doesn't include an unrated version, it isn't a movie worth watching? It seems like every release now is released in its theatrical rated version and its special unrated version. And are those extra seven minutes really worth releasing two editions at the same time?
I usually got the Unrated versions of movies, which are almost Horror films. The teeny bopper American Pie unrated bullshit is just more of what I dislike about the movie anyway.
As of late, the Unrated versions also have exclusive material in the bonus features.
Yeah, these typically are horror movies but they really cover all genres.
Check out the cover for the unrated version of The 40 Year-Old Virgin. "Unrated: Now lasts 17 minutes longer". It just sounds like a joke to me. As if 17 minutes is going to make all the difference.
17 minutes in that film would just make it cruder, which is hard to believe. There was so much near misogyny in that film, that's what made me dislike it in the first place.
I can hardly tell the difference in a movie. Whenever I watch an UNRATED movie I'm always trying to find just what exactly was too explicit for theaters

I think unrated versions worth making would have to add at least a half hour or close to it. 17 minutes is so insignificant, I'm surprised they would openly advertise it on the cover.
I usually get the unrated versions because the additions are always so insignificant, why not? And as you said, the distributors tend to make the rated version less desirable to own.
Badder Santa: The Unrated Version with the whopping ONE EXTRA SCENE! Plus seconds of new dialogue!
Apparently, from what I found, what was too explicit for theaters was Billy Bob Thornton stealing a car and walking around a house. Oh yes, and the word "shit" in a cop's dialogue.
