I would like to see Blade Runner, which one?

Seems to be an even split here. I do agree with HR's suggestion of why not view both? However, I say view the DC that the director intended, THEN view the TC, and judge for yourself whether or not the studio pressure was a good thing. Either way, they're both good movies, so it would be time well spent.

Personally I prefer the directors cut; the narration is a little silly and I like the ending better in the DC.  I've watched parts of the Final Cut but not as a whole so I can't judge it, but that's bound to be a good one too based on what I've seen.

Regardless of which cut you choose to view, it's still Blade Runner in the end.

Agreed.

All of them!

If it's your first time watching Blade Runner, go for either the Director's Cut or the Final Cut. I know there are some small differences between the two, but unless your some sort of fanatic, you won't notice the difference. Those two cuts are the best way to experience the movie.

The narration of the Theatrical Cut was added on by the movie studio who felt that the story wouldn't come across without it. Stuff and nonsense.

The endings of the two are also drastically different. I will say that there is an important ambiguity that is present in the Director's Cut that is not present in the Theatrical.

"It's a shame she won't live. But then again, who does?"

But watch them both. First the Director's Cut, then the Theatrical.

"I want more life, f#*&er."

I think it is important to note that this is a case where both Ridley Scott and Harrison Ford essentially went kicking and screaming into a recording studio after the wrap and making changes that were never intended. I side with the DC in this case, always.

I watched "The Final Cut" recently and enjoyed it. That was the first time I'd seen "Blade Runner" in any form since the theatrical version hit cable TV in the '80s so it was basically like seeing the movie for the first time.
