Thanks for the info on the night filter.  I'll have a look at my R1 disc of FAFDM.

I don't believe that the old MGM DVD of TGTBATU is correct though.  It looks very faded compared to the Italian BD.  My money's on the Italian BDs of all three films being closest to the intended looks.

Fistful looks like all the US prints which were sourced differently due to rights issues.

I'm not sure I understand what you're saying here.  Is it that because AFFOD's color timing looks consistent despite all the prints being sourced from different places it is likely to be correct?

The Alien material shown above seems to follow the template for coloring set by the Blade Runner Final Cut. That's one I'd love to correct back to the original, because though nice looking at first it doesn't really fit.

I agree that BR:FC is almost certainly removed to some extent from the original look, but I've no idea what the original look is.  The first DVD looks horribly red.  (And Alien doesn't look appreciably similar to the FC to me.)
