In my experience, all of them.
The directors cut isn't about watching the movie itself, but examining the process of producing a film - dissecting it.
Two different experiences.
I'd argue that James Cameron's "The Abyss" director's cut is superior to the theatrical. The extra 25min introduces some extra plot details in the climax that really flesh out the ending
What about watching a directors cut unknowingly and loving it?
/end of thread!!!
The theatrical cut of Dark City assumes the audience is an idiot and spoils the movie's plot twist with an unnecessary opening narration.
