Can we get support for movies with multiple versions such as Directors Cut, Extended Cuts, Special Editions, etc. I suggest a tagging system similar to the extra content tags:

Avatar (2009) -theatrical.mkv = Theatrical Release  
Avatar (2009) -extended.mkv = Extended Cut  
Avatar (2009) -special.mkv = Special Edition  
Avatar (2009) -director.mkv = Directors Cut  
Avatar (2009) -3d.mkv = 3D

On the movie’s info page the different versions could be listed under the main title where the time and content rating show up with a play button next to each one. So for Avatar we might see:

[\>] Theatrical Release … 2 hr 41 min [PG-13]  
[\>] Special Edition … 2 hr 50 min [PG-13]  
[\>] Extended Cut … 2 hr 58 min [PG-13]  
[\>] 3D … 2 hr 41 min [PG-13]

With Batman v Superman the ratings changed so it might look like this:

[\>] Theatrical Release … 2 hr 31 min [PG-13]  
[\>] Extended Cut … 3 hr 3 min [R]

I guess having the content ratings would require that the movie database be version aware. I don’t know who you’d have to contact to get that updated.
