Speaking of director's cuts, and going back to my original reason for the thread, the "director's cut" of Blade Runner is notably worse than the original theatrical release, IMHO. I was excited to see it, but very disappointed once I saw it. It took out key elements and inserted some nonsense that, while not completely ruining the film, did detract from it greatly.
Then there was a "final version" that changed hardly anything from that bad director's cut.
I'd love to have as copy of the original, not either of the messed up re-edits.
