Because AN is a surreal journey as much as anything. I thought the extras did a good job playing to that aspect. They weren't the most exciting scenes, but the movie doesn't work on that level if they only show the highlights. In the original, we've got enough downtime shown to make it work, but I still thought it worked better with the extra scenes. For the record, I'll take either version and not complain. I simply like Redux a little bit better.

Same here. The original was my favourite movie, then it got even better The extra scenes just added to the original sense of surrealism, insanity and one mans personal journey into hell. I must have seen the movie like 15 times...

actually I went and bought apocalypse now redux, and I haven't gotten around to watching it yet . so I can't say which is better. That's why I just voted for the original.

[MarkG]

Simon (2004, Netherlands)

not the one with Al Pacino i hope...

[hexagonian]

1. The Lord of the Rings (I-III)

2. Raiders of the Lost Ark
3. The Never Ending Story
4. The Empire Strikes Back
5. Peter Pan (2003 version)

6. The Fifth Element
7. Toy Story
8. Braveheart
9. Pirates of the Caribbean
10. Gladiator

11. The Matrix
12. Monty Python and the Holy Grail
13. Star Wars
14. Harry Potter and the Prizoner of Azkaban
15. A Series of Unfortunate Events
16. The Sting
17. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone
18. Jurrasic Park
19. Master and Commander
20. Finding Nemo


(1-5) are pretty much set in stone at the moment. I do not expect LOTR to ever be displaced either...

(6-20) could very well be interchangable. (After seeing Gladiator again, it moved up a lot on my list - and I expect Series of Unfortunate Events to do the same - Star Wars continues to drop down though...)
