I planned to start kind of similar thread since I also care for alternate versions of movies. Especially movies that is kind of "working" better dramaturgical. For example Terminator 2, The Abyss, Aliens, Da Vinci Code and the Lord of the Rings movies. But the list can go on.
I started thinking of this when Abyss and Aliens popped up in the store and I was about to buy both of them in 3.5 seconds. Just did a quick check so the better version was in 4K but it was not so I canceled both. Still waiting and I really would like to buy them along with all the others.
The Abyss and Aliens is two of my favorite movies and I've bought both of them several times. The Abyss I think I actually only bought three times but it haven't been released so many times. Aliens I think I bought 8 times.
The list so far.
