I was watching some of Donnie Darko earlier for the first time in ages and wondered if anyone had tried to do an edit combining the best of the Theatrical and Director’s Cut editions? For me, the default version is always the Theatrical, due to the original soundtrack (i’m not a fan of the different songs in the DC) and the fact it lacks some of the lesser additions from the DC (not least the pedantic shots where we “read” the Roberta Sparrow book along with Donnie). However, there’s some great deleted scenes in the DC that would look really good within the film.

So… anyone ever tried it?

Nice to hear from somebody else who prefers the theatrical edition to the "director's cut."

I've come to realize that new cuts of movies are not always superior... and this is a case where that's definately the case, imho.
