Movie Edition Relationships
Much like how Anime entries can show “Directly Related” or “Indirectly Related” series, the Movies page should also highlight special editions and alternate cuts.
By introducing relational links for various movie versions—such as Extended Edition, Director’s Cut, Blu-ray Edition, Uncensored, and Unrated—users can easily see every variant in one place.
Suggested Edition Categories:
Extended Edition
Director’s Cut
Blu-ray Edition
Uncensored Edition
Unrated Version
And few more...
Examples of Related Editions:
Spider-Man: No Way Home
Spider-Man: No Way Home – The More Fun Stuff Version
Spider-Man: No Way Home – Extended Edition
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring – Extended Edition
Blade Runner
Blade Runner – Director’s Cut
Blade Runner: The Final Cut
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey – Extended Edition
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey – Unrated Edition
Watchmen
Watchmen – Director’s Cut
Watchmen – Ultimate Edition
By grouping these editions under each movie’s “Related Editions” section, users can quickly navigate between the theatrical release and various cuts, ensuring they never miss a single version.
(I dont think TMDB or TVDB provides this feature yet...

Yes, but maybe not like the 2 suggestions, probably better as a "hidden" menu or secondary page.
Given its nature, it could be nice, that in its final form, it has the options to view region editions, and also adding your own editions.
the regions are relevant for when certan cuts and changes are made (for example, disney's modified classic movies, or cuts of specific content for a given market) or when blood or similar is hidden or changed.
the customs for users to add information about niche versions (like supercuts of LODR Hobbit or fan edits) -
Or something similar to Special Page in the episode area in /TV/ titles
so that such rare types of film versions can be tracked:
