She forces me :-)

Whichever version you see, you'll probably fall asleep after half an hour, so it doesn't really matter that much...
*runs*

ADD's a bitch, eh?

If you are willing to watch only one then go with Bladerunner: Final Cut and then if you like the movie you could go on and watch them all.
Also if you are interested in movies in general I would advise you to watch them all, possibly in the order of release because you'll see a great movie and a glimpse at the workings of the whole industry.
It is an interesting tale of filmmaking, what the times and audience demand of a film, what the poducers demand, what a director wants to do, and how a director is willing to improve his own work over time.
Of note here is Star Wars the original trilogy of how not to do it opposite to Bladerunner.

Haven't seen the final cut (which is a travesty as it's one of my favourite movies - must get around to it) but the theatrical cut is pretty terrible.
There's a reason that it bombed critically and commerically in theaters, and then became a huge critical and cult hit once the director's cut was released.
That said, i don't think that (so called) director's cuts are always better. Sometimes the studio control or reduction in length can make things better - and total freedom for the director often means they do crazy stuff.
But recently most director's cuts are actually just simple extensions using b-reel material to make another version of the dvd for people to buy.
T2 directors cut - lots of good addiitions and one boring long pointless scene in the middle that ruins the pacing.
Aliens dc - terrible beginning scenes that ruin the suspense and the pacing, but not bad autogun scene in the middle. Still prefer theatrical though.
LOTR dcs - awesome all around.

I'm not one who "needs" a movie to have a happy ending or one who "needs" a movie to be as brutal & explicit as possible. So taking all things into consideration, I think I'll start with the Final Cut...bigger, fuller, and as originally intended. And if I enjoy it as much as I think I will, I'll watch the Theatrical a few months later.
Thank you all for your input. Feel free to continue the debate if you like. ;-)

Yes, I just want a well-done ending to a film. Whether it's a "good" or "bad" ending doesn't matter to me, so much as if it's nicely done, and doesn't seem contrived. People often go on about how predictable "good" happy endings are, but I don't feel that this is entirely the case anymore, as the "bad" ending has become far more common that it used to be.
Regarding Blade Runner, I have the Final Cut Blu-ray set, but I guess I'm not a die hard fan. I didn't notice any different between the Final & Director's cuts. I'll have to look up the documented differences some time, as they seem fairly subtle compared to many changes other films experience.

It seems people here are talking about four different versions of the film, but in fact there are FIVE. I know this because I have the Final Cut Collector's Edition (tin case, 5 discs, art folio, hover police car keyring and lenticular image). The five versions of the film in the set are (in the order they appear on the discs):
Disc 1 - 2007 Final Cut
Disc 3 - 1982 U.S. Theatrical Cut
Disc 3 - 1982 International Theatrical Cut
Disc 3 - 1992 Director's Cut
Disc 5 - Workprint version (alternate music, footage and voice-over)
And yes, I watched them all. And all the bonus materials on discs 2 and 4. In this set, the old versions were also digitally restored and remastered from original elements for enhanced picture and audio according to the box.
But yes, the Final Cut is as it was intended to be, so watch that first. I watched them in the order they appear on the discs.

I've seen the Director's Cut version, which was absolutely incredible-one of my favorite films ever. I started to watch the theatrical cut, but had to turn it off. The voice-over sucked some of the magic of the film away.

Looks like the Workprint version was added for this special edition. Care to comment on it? Also - Blu-Ray owners do you have all these as well?
Edit -
Decided to do some digging on my own and it appears that the Workprint Version was added for the Five Disc Ultimate Collector's Edition and the Blu-Ray release along with the normally added Visual and Audio tweeks.
According to *Wikipedia* The Workprint Version was shown to test audiences prior to the films Theatrical Release and by the Studio in 90 and 91 as a Director's Cut without Scott's approval. This led to the "Director's Cut". The Final Cut is my favorite.
With that I am off to find my Pink Floyd Final Cut and give it a run through ;-)

Completely unrelated movie but I really like the Almost Famous Bootleg Cut -- it's a much fuller movie.

I agree 100%. The Final Cut is the best version of the movie.

I can't help it but i like original theatrical version better. I kinda missed that voiceover in director's cut.
