Watchmen (I love this film in a way which may not be completely healthy)
LOL. Same.
Not that anybody asked but I should clarify by saying all versions of the film. I somewhat ignored the director's cut because I thought it was just the theatrical cut with a few extra scenes slapped on but there's a lot more to it than that. Different takes, different camera angles, different coloring timing, different sound mix in places, etc. I could half-ass compare how different it is to the LOTR extended cuts in terms of number of differences.

Interesting, I never caught that the changes were so deep. Maybe it's because I watched the original theatrical cut only a few times, and when the Ultimate Cut was released I quickly forgot about the theatrical and it became the definitive version of Watchmen for me, just like LOTR. Is there an article detailing the changes?

What I've been able to find are lists of the extra scenes that were thrown in but not any mention of the changes made to the order of cuts (a wide shot, a Dan close up, a Kovacs close up in theatrical vs. a Dan close up, a wide shot, a Kovacs close up in director's cut and things like that). I found a *VERY* extensive listing of changes ages ago but (A) I didn't seem to bookmark it because I don't have it now and (B) it was full of Engrish anyway so reading it was a bit of a challenge.
