I liked the director's cuts of Aliens, T2 and Robocop. The Robocop cut is super violent compared to the original (it has some really sick fucking gore in it). I guess at times a director's cut can make or break a movie. Some director's cuts are just simply to long, overblown and self endulgent (I haven't seen Redux yet but it looked like it fell into this category - and it already was a long self endulgent movie to begin with - but good don't get me wrong here). I definatley prefer the Director's cut of Blade Runner particularly for the ending I thought the original ending was just way to happy while the other one leaves you with a bit more to think about because things aren't so happily ended and clear cut. Both versions are fucking great tho.
