Terminator 2.
I've been showing my young lady these, we've got her to the point she'll actually sit through things, so why not.
She actually had her first like outright emotional response to a movie, of course, the thumbs up scene.
So anyway...if you haven't got it...I'd suggest a BluRay pick up right now.
The "Brand new Digital Restoration" one.
I'd seen a special edition directors cut thing before that had a couple of extra scenes thrown in.
This one comes with the "extended special edition" version.

For starters, from my childhood to now I still find this a phenomenal film that hit heights far higher than anything to follow it...It had been a good 8-9 years since I'd seen it last, so it was somewhat fresh again which was cool.
I don't need to throw in any more about this. It's Terminator 2.

Though yeah...the version we watched with the (even more) extra scenes integrated into the film was amazing. The stuff that was missing...I get how sometimes people hate directors cut versions or watch extras and go "I get it", and it's easy to see why some things get left out for pacing etc.
Not in this case.
Maybe it was a budget thing? Bit of both? Maybe considered "too much" for an action film? Who knows.
But the stuff is good.
There was even an alternate ending or, extra bit...which actually ends the movie, and franchise pretty well.
Maybe that's why they didn't go with it...

Anyhow look, if you like the movie, see this version.
I think it makes for a richer film experience and a slightly more emotionally weighted storyline.
Showing it's age a little to be sure, but it's still Cameron at his best.
