Well... now that we've all had a chance to see every incarnation of Blade Runner at least once, I thought it'd be fun to see where everyone stands on this issue. Of them all, which one do YOU enjoy the most?

I just have the Director's cut. I hope to find the 2007 in shops. What is the difference? Are there more scenes about Rachel and Zora, for example?
I love Zora because she reminds the warrior amazon Penthesilea (http://www.whoosh.org/issue12/ruffel3.html) with her boots, behaviour and beauty. Even her death reminds the destiny of this amazon.

I have been watching the discs, but have not gotten through them all yet. Which disc/version has the deleted scenes with it?

It's the Final Cut for me.
I was blown away with the alternate and deleted scenes as well. I can also see why Holdens hospital scenes were omitted but there were certain parts of the other scenes i thought may of been good enough to include.
One thing i was confused about was the Dove flying off at the end. The background seemed ok but i thought it was never filmed, or was that an unused piece from the UK re shoot during post production?
It is very tempting to digitise the final cut and make a fan version for fun, although that is not me saying i am not happy with the final cut. The whole Blade Runner experience has made Christmas 2007 a really special one to remember.
Happy New Year

Before the 2007 FC version, I would have said the WP, defects and all.
But now, it's the Final Cut, all the way. I think that purposely not watching BR since 2000 (the shoddy "Director's Cut" dvd) may have helped, since now the FC is the version that I now will remember--and watching any of the other versions will now just make me pine for the missing scenes and stuff. And hearing the uninspired voice-over would be painful...

Unfortunately I have only scene the 1982 U.S. Theatrical cut (and that was at least a year ago) and the 2007 Final cut. It's a tough choice (because I am one of the few people who actually enjoy the voice over), but I am going with the Final Cut because I learned so much more about the movie watching it. It just made the whole viewing experience much more informative and interesting to me. I especially enjoyed watching the making of "Blade Runner".
