Default Directors Cuts

whats your favourite directors cut, and did you enjoy it more than the theatrical release?

For me it has to be Aliens.

I think Aliens is pretty high on the list.

DC of Lock Stock is pretty good too

Terminator 2, that's another good one.

The LOTR's extended edition (essentially the directors cut) of ROTK is excellent - I cant believe some of the scenes were cut from the cinema release altogether.

Aliens SE is excellent - watching that the other night, and there are few other actions films which live upto the standard of that. Everything is good - brilliant script - love Hudson's constant sarcastic worried comments once on LB45! Also great that its all real sets and models, instead of stupid blatent-CGI everything like you get now.

Yep, Butterfly Effect for me too. The Directors cut ending is pretty mindblowing, the cinematic one far too tame in comparison.

Have to say the Blade Runner DC didn't do it for me -- call me a philistine but I liked the Philip Marlowe-style voiceover

Aliens DC -- top job. Especially the auto-sentry guns. Me likee

What was the one James Cameron did after Aliens? The underwater one (not Titanic ). There's a DC of that, is it any good, anyone?

As 16VMark said, The Abyss, and it transforms the film completely. You haven't really seen this film if you haven't seen the DC. The theatrical was a great film, until you realise what was missing. Heaven only knows why it was cut so heavily.

Agree with Aliens, and all 3 LOTR films. Although I thought the extra bits added more to the 1st 2 than ROTK. I'd have loved to see more of the combat with the army of the dead, and of course, the scouring should have been included.

The making of the Abyss was amazing to watch - what they all went through filming in this huge dark tank with all the electrical equipment - scary for the crew and the actors. James Cameron is a genious!!

I've seen the directors cut of The Butterfly Effect. What's the ending like on the Cinema Release version?

Damn good film.
