Hey guys, could I please get in on this? I would really like to be able to have the original oscar-winning version for viewing.
I remembered watching this film decades ago and was a bit disappointed with the Director's Cut. I was sure I remembered a film that was better paced and edited, and was very dismayed that I couldn't find a copy of the theatrical version anywhere.
Then I found this thread. It's incredible that a group of like-minded individuals have already re-edited the film out of no other reason than passion and integrity.
