Pick 3 Deleted Scenes you would put back in the film

enough said.

1. Palmer family Dinner and learning Norweigian- Would add some lightness and relative normalcy, and show the other side of the Palmer family having fun together to contrast the darkness. You could tell from the show that the Palmers really did get along but there was darkness underneath.

2. Laura at the Hayward's house- Another more normal view of Laura showing the bond between her, Donna, and the Haywards and contrasting the Hell she is living in at home.

3. Bob Speaking to Laura and the smile- Just an awesome and unnerving scene. Shows the power of Bob kind of alluring Laura to the dark side and makes her decision to die at the end more meaningful.

There are other great scenes in there but I think these 3 would add the most to the film and really should have been kept in there mostly to show a more normal and endearing side to Laura Palmer, showcasing why everyone loved her so much.

I would have put in the scene in heaven or the white lodge with Josie, Pete and Dell because that scene mirrors the final scene of the film. It explains what's happening in the final scene and it's nice to see Pete watching over Josie for the rest of eternity in the afterlife.
The learning Norwegian scene gives us an insight in Leland's magical abilities which Laura is starting to demonstrate. The exterior scene with Bobby at the high school where everyone starts dancing. The reason everyone starts dancing is because Laura has cast a spell on Bobby and everyone dancing has been hit with the same spell. Leland does this all the way through the series. His happiness is infectious.
The scene where Jeffries travels from the White Lodge back to earth.
The scene at donna's house is pure genius and absolutely beautiful but it gives an emotional release that would have depleted the driving tension in the film.
The deleted scenes weren't cut because they were bad. They were cut because they gave too much away.
Who do think the hunchback at the Deer Meadow trailer park represents?
It's too horrible to contemplate.

I haven't seen any of these deleted scenes, but I'd pick to watch Harry singing to Josie. It seems so light-hearted and irrelevant but it would have added more familiar faces to the cast, especially as the Martells-Packards were a big part of the pilot episode.

1) Teresa in the phone to verify that Leland is Laura's father
2) Laura Palmer sneaking out of the house
3) The scene with Doc Hayward performing a magic act
