Gladiator. The director's cut adds a lot of unnecessary content, which just messes up the pacing of the movie. And sadly, the theatrical cut is hard to come by (impossible?) in HD format.

The theatrical cut is available on the 4K Blu-ray.

4K isn't HD though. Maybe they like smaller file sizes or didn't have a need for 4K.

The theatrical cut is also available on the regular 1080p Blu-ray.

Since it's available on Blu-ray, surely someone must have remuxed and encoded it by now. I mean, the Scene guys had to source the movie from somewhere, right?

TBH it sounded weird to me too. I was just trying to make sense of it.
