Aside from seeing SW in 1997, the one screening of Blade Runner I saw in 2007 of the Final Cut was the most awesome, awe-inspiring theatrical experience I have ever had. I still remember, the first time there was that bass-thunder in the opening credits, it's the most powerful sound I have heard other than seeing Manowar live, and Manowar are the loudest band in the world. Like Star Wars, this film cannot be seen nor heard until it's seen and heard on the big screen, and the Final Cut is the most technically accomplished incarnation of it. My memory of this screening still lingers.

I wholeheartedly agree. I saw Blade Runner opening night of The Final Cut's release at Music Box Theater in Chicago -- a gorgeous 800-seat theater built in the 1920s that resembles the inside of an aging cinephile's mind. Its atmosphere perfectly complemented the film. It was electric in there. I saw the recent Metropolis restoration there too, which I'll also never forget.
